Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

Applicants need a contract to work as a crew member on a superyacht, or a letter confirming that employment, and a supporter or sponsor (the captain, owner or operator of the superyacht); a supporter suffices if applying from outside Australia for a stay under 3 months, otherwise a sponsor is required.

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

Family members can apply for the visa together with the main applicant and must meet the same health requirement; family members aged 16 and over must also meet the character requirement. The official source does not define exactly who counts as a family member, and does not state what work the visa allows or any tie to an employer.
