Our History & Process
Since 2007, Apply World Group has been placing competent hospitality professionals with Australian employers. We administer the entire visa and compliance process, sourcing pre-screened candidates from Nepal, the Philippines, the UAE, and onshore Australia, so businesses can focus on their venues.
Venues & Stability
Our network spans casual dining, multi-site restaurant groups, and high-volume function venues. Most employer relationships are ongoing, with several relying on us for more than two years, the direct result of the stability sponsored visa placements deliver.
Built for hospitality operators.
Long-Term Placement
Sponsored 482 and 407 visa workers commit to placements for 2 to 4 years, providing operational peace of mind.
Reduced Turnover Costs
That stability reduces turnover costs and gives kitchen and service teams time to develop and excel.
Immigration Managed
We handle every layer of the compliance process, so operators never have to think about immigration or paperwork.
Comprehensive staffing & immigration support.
