As the borders are now open for Students, Working Holiday visa holders and the TSS/482 skilled workers… it’s time to look at international skills again to fill the countries employment issue/skills shortage and get us back on track…
Whether it be on the farms, in hospitality, or small business to big corporates, you can now bring in the relevant people to fill the role…
Regarding the Student and the Working holiday visa, there are some changes…
- Students now do not have any restriction to working; they can work as many hours a week as companies require them if they are paid as per the Australian fair work act.
- Working holiday visa people can now work for more than 6 months at a company with no restrictions so they can work for you for the length of the visa they hold.
If you need more long-term skilled workers, then the TSS/482 visa is the one to bring them in on.
The key points for the TSS/482 visa individual to be sponsored are:
- They hold a relevant degree or higher qualification in the skill you want to employ them under
- Plus, they have two full-time years’ experience within the last five years within that skillset
- And their occupation needs to be on the government’s skills occupation list Skilled occupation list (SOL). Please note there are two lists the 4-year list, which leads to permeant residency and the 2-year list that does not unless you are employed and living in rural Australia…
- Double vaccinated
The government and the immigration department are changing the rules daily to try to assist with this shortage of workers, both skilled and non-skilled. Keeping up with what the latest rules are can be daunting. We get updated daily as to what’s being changed and what might be changed in the future…
Therefore, to recap… as mentioned above, the borders are open for companies to bring in the much-needed skills for Australia… If you want to know the latest visa updates, receive a free assessment of the candidates you are looking at and want to know the best visa to bring someone in on, student, working holiday or TSS work visa, don’t hesitate to talk to us…
