The Australian government has released the latest migration strategy outlining key actions and new policy commitments to overhaul the current migration system.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The labor market testing requirements for certain categories of the TSS visa (subclass 482) and skilled employer sponsored regional (provisional) visa (subclass 494) have also been updated as of Dec. 11. Businesses are no longer required to post a job advertisement on the government employment service Workforce Australia. However, employers must still conduct two valid non-governmental advertisements, and provide evidence of a total of two advertisements at the time the nomination is lodged. Additional information regarding the advertising requirements can be found here.
BAL Analysis: Australian officials said migration numbers need to be wound back to a “sustainable level.” The government is hoping to revamp the migration system, while also addressing the shortage of skilled workers. The measures represent significant changes to the immigration system and are designed to reduce the number of migrants coming to the country and attract greater highly skilled foreign talent at the same time. Employers should be aware of the proposed government incentives for recruiting specialist talent in their 2024 employment strategies.
