Introduction
In a move that brings relief to employers navigating the
complexities of the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass
482) program, the Department of Home Affairs has introduced
significant changes to the Labor Market Testing (LMT) requirements.
The updated legislative instructions bring about a more streamlined
process, reducing the burden on employers while ensuring compliance
with visa regulations.
Old Requirements vs. New Changes
Previously, employers were required to advertise a job vacancy
on three different platforms, including one on the Workforce
Australia website, as part of the Labor Market Testing process for
the 482 visa. However, the recent amendments have brought about a
welcome reduction in the number of advertisements required.
Employers will now only need to post two job ads to fulfill the LMT
requirements, and notably, the mandatory listing on the Workforce
Australia website has been removed.
