Employers approved as sponsors under Australia's skilled migration program have important legal responsibilities to ensure the integrity of the migration system and protect sponsored workers. These responsibilities, known as sponsorship obligations, are prescribed under the Migration Regulations 1994 and apply to businesses that sponsor overseas workers under various visa programs.

Failure to comply with these obligations may result in sanctions, including infringement notices, cancellation of sponsorship approval, or publication on the Australian Border Force's Register of Sanctioned Sponsors.
