As part of Australia’s new migration strategy, a new three tiered system of employer-sponsored visa pathways (Skills In Demand Visa) will replace the Temporary Skill Shortage TSS subclass 482 visa in FY 2023-24. The three pathways, which will cater to different skill levels and earning capacities, include:
Specialist Skills Pathway
Core Skills Pathway
Essential Skills pathway
The Specialist Skills pathway will not have an occupational list and a processing turnaround of 7 days. Trades occupations, machinery operators, drivers and labourers will be excluded from this visa class. There will be 3,000 places allocated per year. The ‘specialist skills’ visa will be for those earning over $135,000 per year.
The Core Skills pathway are expected to provide the majority of visas for the program. Trades workers will be required to apply under this visa based on a revised ‘Core Skills Occupation List’ developed by Jobs and Skills Australia. The ‘core skills’ visa will be for the $70-135,000 cohort. Earnings to be at least TSMIT, currently set at $70,000, but to be indexed annually.
The details of the Essential Skills pathway are yet to be finally determined. This visa will involve union oversight, be capped and be restricted to specific sectors. To date the aged care and disability sectors have been mentioned. The ‘essential skills’ visa is for those earning under $70,000.
The visas will be granted for up to 4 years and visa holders will be able to change employers more easily and provide clear pathways to permanent residency. The ‘TSMIT‘ will be indexed annually and a public register of employer sponsors to allow more ease with moving between employers.
