Bridging skill gaps with Australia's Subclass 482 Visa
Are you a skilled professional considering work in Australia or an Australian employer addressing skill shortage? The Australia Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa may be a suitable option and WWICS can provide guidance.
The Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa, also known as the Employer Sponsored Visa, allows Australian employers to address labour shortages by sponsoring skilled workers from overseas. This visa is part of Australia's skilled migration program and can offer a pathway to permanent residency for eligible applicants.
The Subclass 482 TSS Visa allows Australian employers to sponsor skilled foreign workers when local talent is not readily available. It's designed to help address labour shortages in key industries and can offer a temporary and in some cases, permanent opportunity to live and work in Australia.
Holders of the Core Skills Stream, Special Skills Stream and Labour Agreement Stream may be eligible for the Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186) visa.
Key considerations include working in the nominated occupation for up to four years, employer sponsorship for a permanent position, and continued compliance with visa and employment conditions.
You are typically required to start work within 90 days of arriving in Australia.
WWICS assists applicants and employers in identifying a suitable stream based on their goals and eligibility:
