Nope!!! You have to be an Australian employer to do so, registered as such and then accepted as a 457 sponsor. You are on your spouses Visa and as such have a finite time here, you can not guarantee your 'sponsored employees' any period of work past your own visa expiry date so its therefore not only unworkable but also unethical.
