Embracing global mobility brings clear advantages – it enables you to attract and retain skilled employees for positions that are difficult to fill in the local labour market, especially during times of skills shortages. But to harness these benefits, employers need to establish a global mobility strategy and unfortunately, complexities such as constantly changing migration laws can make this challenging.
That’s why we’ve created these visa tools to assist you in navigating migration shifts, processes, and compliance factors, and to empower you to build a robust global mobility strategy.

Under Australian immigration laws, employers of Subclass 482 and 494 Visa holders must meet several sponsorship obligations. Did you know that there are 10 obligations? For example, do you know:
On 1 July 2024, the Migration Amendment (Strengthening Employer Compliance) Act 2024 (Cth) came into effect. Under the changes, employers of visa holders are now held to greater accountability for non-compliance with visa and sponsorship obligations.
Our Visa Tools can help you understand your obligations.
You may wish to discuss your sponsorship obligations with our team, including how to embed safeguards into your HR policies to ensure compliance with migration law.

Following an independent Migration Review, the Government’s recently released Migration Strategy shows a commitment to widescale reform.
The Migration Strategy Outline revealed four key policy shifts to deliver a better targeted, more efficient and outcomes-focused migration system to fulfil Australia’s skills needs in future decades:
Here’s a summary of our insights into what we can expect in the Government’s re-design of the skilled migration program.
Employer-sponsored Permanent Residence (PR) pathways for Subclass 482 Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) Visa Holders changed on 25 November 2023.
As a result of the changes, skilled migrants now have clearer and faster pathways to PR and more employers are able to retain global talent for their labour requirements.
If you are an employer, this may be a good time to start considering PR for employees who previously may not have been eligible. Our team of Registered Migration Agents at Interstaff are happy to assist with eligibility assessments for PR.

Throughout 2024 we will begin to see the Government embark on a once-in-a-generation shake-up of the migration system to meet Australia’s skills needs for coming decades.
It has found the current system to be too bureaucratic and inflexible for Australia to attract and retain global talent – particularly at a time of widespread skills shortages and increasing international competition for global talent.
Following an independent Migration Review, the Government’s Migration Strategy revealed plans for various changes – including a new, tiered Skills in Demand Visa that is expected to replace the current Subclass 482 Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) Visa.
Sheila will be continuing conversations around new compliance measures for employers of visa holders, the replacement of the Subclass 482 TSS Visa with a new Skills in Demand Visa, and reforms to Skilled Occupation Lists in our newsletter.
