Attention 482, 457 or 494 Visa Holder !!!
Big Changes Coming for Temporary Work Visas in Australia! Starting 1 July 2024, visa conditions 8107, 8607, and 8608 are being updated as part of the Australian Government's Migration Strategy to combat worker exploitation and boost productivity.
If you stop working with your sponsoring employer, you'll now have up to 180 days at a time (or a maximum of 365 days across the visa period) to find a new sponsor, apply for a different visa, or arrange to leave Australia. During this time, you can work for other employers, even in occupations not listed in your most recent sponsorship nomination, ensuring you can support yourself while seeking new sponsorship.
⚠Important Notes:
▶You cannot work for another employer unless you have stopped working with your sponsoring employer, and you must stay in your nominated occupation while working for your existing sponsor.
▶Sponsors must notify the department of any changes within 28 days, including if a visa holder resigns.
▶Visa holders must comply with any licensing or registration requirements for their nominated occupation.
These changes apply to all existing and new visa holders from 1 July 2024. Any periods of non-employment before this date won't count towards the new time periods.

NSW Subclass 491 Pathway 1: Work requirements have been reduced to 6 months
If you have been living and working in Regional NSW in your nomination occupation (the occupation that you have skill assessed) for the past 6 months with the same employer and have the TSMIT amount of $70,000 or pro rata this is for you.
The NSW Government is pleased to announce an important update to the nomination criteria for the Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491) under Pathway 1. Effective immediately. This adjustment will make the pathway more accessible to skilled workers living and working in regional NSW, to better support regional development and the local economy.
Updated Nomination Criteria for Pathway 1
Previously, applicants for Pathway 1 were required to have been living and working in a designated regional area of NSW for at least 12 months with a single regional NSW-based employer, among other requirements. Based on industry feedback at our recent Regional Skilled Migration Seminars we are now reducing this employment duration requirement to 6 months.
▶Key Changes:
Reduced Employment Duration: Applicants must now be currently living and working in a designated regional area of NSW and have continuously done so for the past 6 months, instead of the previous 12 months.
This change means that more skilled workers will be eligible to apply for the Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491) under Pathway 1, opening up opportunities for those who have been contributing to the regional economy and communities for six months.
▶Remaining Criteria:
✔Employment must be with a single regional NSW-based employer working from an established business premises in regional NSW.
✔The role must be in the applicant's nominated (or closely related) occupation.
✔The occupation must be deemed skilled by NSW.
✔Applicants must be paid a minimum of the TSMIT salary level of $70,000 (prorated if under 38 hours per week) from their qualifying employer in the nominated (or closely related) occupation in the 6 months immediately before applying.
