Effective November 25, 2023, the Australian Government has introduced significant changes to the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) (subclass 482) and Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream of the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) (subclass 186) visas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These changes simplify and clarify the pathway to permanent residence (PR) for TSS visa holders, offering more certainty to employers and skilled workers while ensuring Australia attracts and retains the talent it needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TSS Visa Changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

From November 25, 2023, the Australian government will eliminate the limit on the number of Short-term stream TSS visa applications within Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This modification is applicable to new TSS visa applications made on or after the specified date. Short-term stream TSS visa holders with visas expiring before November 25, 2023, must leave Australia to lodge a third short-term stream TSS application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TRT Stream Nomination Requirements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Changes in the TRT stream nomination requirements include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong> Allowing employers to nominate holders of all TSS visa streams, including Short-term and Labour Agreement streams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.<\/strong> Removing the requirement for nominated occupations to be assessed against a skilled migration occupation list; the occupation must be listed in the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO), and the nominated worker must continue working in the nominated occupation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. <\/strong>Reducing the time a TSS visa holder must hold their visa and work in the nominated position or occupation to be eligible for nomination by their employer for the TRT stream to two out of the three years before nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These changes are expected to apply to new ENS and Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme nomination applications as of November 25, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
