BDO authors Australian chapter of global corporate immigration guide

This article was first published in ICLG - Corporate Immigration Laws and Regulations 2026.

BDO's migration services team contributed to the Australian chapter of the International Comparative Legal Guides (ICLG) Corporate Immigration Laws and Regulations 2026, an international publication featuring insights from leading practitioners around the world.

Authored by Rebecca Thomson, Esther Chew and Daniel Sapuppo, the chapter provides an overview of Australia's corporate immigration framework and explores key considerations for employers managing sponsorship obligations, workforce mobility and immigration requirements.

As organisations continue to compete for skilled talent, understanding the regulatory landscape remains an important part of workforce planning. The guide brings together jurisdiction-specific insights from around the globe, helping businesses navigate corporate immigration considerations across different markets.

Against a backdrop of continuing migration reform, the chapter explores key developments affecting employers, including changes to skilled migration pathways, sponsorship requirements and compliance expectations. It also examines the opportunities and challenges facing organisations seeking to access global talent in an increasingly competitive market. 

BDO's contribution reflects the depth of expertise within our migration services team and reinforces our position as a trusted adviser on migration and global mobility matters.

The Australian chapter is available free of charge.
