Accredited Sponsor list for 2021 to 2022 (specifically Schools and early childhood settings)
Dear Department of Home Affairs,
I am an Australian citizen residing in Denmark and interested to know if I can access a list of accredited sponsors for the years 2021, 2022 and 2023 if possible. Ideally, schools and early childhood settings across Australia that have the capacity to sponsor 482 visa holders (private and public settings). Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Rowan
Dear Department of Home Affairs,
Is there any chance I can receive a response from my initial request soon?

Dear FOI,
I am struggling to track down the FA number requested - where should I be able to see this please?
It looks like there has been a release of accredited sponsors released earlier this year, however I'm keen to see those that are within the Education sector if possible.

Dear FOI,
I have searched through both my inbox and junk mail and have received nothing that indicates there was an FA number attached? The request was sent Aug 29th as per your thread. I have made another request but confused as to why the original cannot be accessed when it is publicly accessible/viewable?
