Visa Tools for Employers

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.

To harness these benefits, employers need a carefully considered global mobility strategy, however complexities such as constantly changing migration laws can make this challenging.

Interstaff’s visa tools can assist you in navigating migration shifts, processes, and compliance factors to build a robust global mobility strategy. Should you require specialist advice, we encourage you to contact Interstaff’s Registered Migration Agents.

    Australia’s New 482 Skills in Demand (SID) Visa

    Following an independent Migration Review, the Government’s Migration Strategy shows a commitment to widescale reform.

    The Migration Strategy Outline revealed four key policy shifts to deliver Australia’s skills needs in future decades:

    1. Prioritising the people we need
    2. Making the migration system simple and efficient
    3. Delivering outcomes for migrants post-arrival
    4. Restoring integrity, fairness and inclusion

    Here’s some visa tools and resources on recent changes to Australia’s skilled migration program.

    • 482 Skills in Demand (SID) Visa Tool
    • The New 482 Skills in Demand (SID) Visa and National Innovation Visa
    • How Caveats Apply | The Core Skilled Occupation List (CSOL)
    • The Government’s Migration Strategy | Summary and Insights for Employers
    • Reduced Labour Market Testing for Subclass 482 and 494 Visas
    • Shorter PR Pathways for Subclass 482 Visa Holders

    Visa and Sponsorship Compliance Tools

    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:

    • The events that require notification to the Department of Home Affairs
    • What records you are obliged to keep
    • When you must pay travel costs
    • The authorised contact the Department has on record

    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.

    Australia’s New 482 Skills in Demand (SID) Visa | Unlocking Opportunities for Employers

    On 7 December 2024, Australia replaced its main employer-sponsored visa program with a new tiered migration system designed to give employers quicker access to highly paid skilled migrants.

    The introduction of the Skills in Demand Visa resulted in several key changes for employers, including:

    • Three tiers of skilled migration – the Core, Specialist and Labour Agreement/Essential Skills Streams – each with unique advantages
    • A consolidated Core Skills Occupation List
    • Clearer pathways to Permanent Residence (PR)
    • Reduced work experience requirements for eligibility
    • New mobility arrangements making it easier for workers to switch employers

    Join Sheila Woods, Managing Director and Registered Migration Agent at Interstaff, at the SA HR Leadership Summit as she shares insights on the 482 Skills in Demand (SID) Visa, including how employers can leverage the benefits of the program.
