The Australian Government has announced significant changes to the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186 visa), effective from 7 December 2024. These updates aim to support skilled workers in industries facing labour shortages and create a more accessible pathway to permanent residency. The changes apply to both the Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream and the Direct Entry (DE) stream.
Flexibility in work experience recognition:
Workers are now allowed to count all periods of sponsored employment, even if not directly employed by the nominating employer. Experience gained in relevant roles or higher positions will also be recognised.
Self-provided evidence of work experience:
Applicants must supply their own documentation to prove their work experience, without relying solely on the employer.
New minimum income threshold:
The Australian Government has replaced the former TSMIT with the Core Skills Income Threshold (CSIT), set at AUD 73,150 per year, subject to annual review.
Age exemption policies:
Current exemptions (e.g. for regional doctors or high-income workers) remain unchanged. Without exemption, applicants must be under 45 years of age at the time of application.
Updated Core Skilled Occupation List (CSOL):
The occupation list has been modernised to focus on high-demand sectors such as:
Construction
Cybersecurity
Agriculture
Health and Education
Application of the new income threshold (CSIT):
Similar to the TRT stream, a minimum salary of AUD 73,150 per year is required, ensuring transparency and alignment with current labour market standards.
Long-term stability: Applicants and their families will have the opportunity for long-term residence in Australia with full access to healthcare, education, and social welfare.
Career development: Permanent residency opens broader career opportunities, especially in strategic industries.
Economic contribution: These policies not only support skilled migration but also help address workforce shortages, contributing positively to the Australian economy.
The updates to the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186 visa) represent a major step forward, providing a more straightforward pathway to permanent residency for skilled workers. This is an ideal opportunity for professionals in priority industries to build a secure future in Australia.
