May I know specifically, what do we need to show DIAC when they ask for a formal offer of employment in Australia?

1. A one page letter that states that they're offering me a position as a <position> within their company?
2. An entire contract with all the terms and conditions, annual salary, and signed by the company as well as myself (to show acceptance)?

I've search this forum and read in another thread that an applicant also submitted a letter from her prospective employer detailing her unique skills to justify the need of hiring someone from outside Australia. Is this actually necessary?

when did your PR visa expire and how much time have you spent in Australia?

If you have an employment offer, I would think the offer letter is all that's needed.

Hi old.sparkles,

Thank you for replying. Expired in 2009 and I spent less than 2 years in Australia due to an immediate family's illness spanning many years till her death. It'll be an application with employment ties and compelling reason and I'll be using a migration agent to do this. I just wanted to know specifically what documentation is required from the prospective employer as if they have to justify reasons for a hire from overseas as opposed to locals, they may not want to hire me anymore.

If you plan on using an agent, they will be able to give you all the correct advice - make sure any agent you use is MARA registered though.

Thank you for that advice! I'll bear that in mind.
