In brief - a look at the changes in the corporate
immigration space in 2018, key trends and insights, how to prepare
and what to look out for in 2019
As part of the Department of Home Affairs simplification of
Australia's visa framework during recent years, there has been
a number of significant changes in the temporary work visa space.
It has been a tumultuous journey for immigration advisors and
businesses who rely on the temporary work visa program to fill
skill shortages.
These significant changes led to the realignment and downsizing
of who, what and how a skilled worker is classified for entry to,
or stay, in Australia. The new Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS)
program which replaced the old 457 visa, has resulted in a notable
decline in visa applications for skilled workers.
