Good news for Temporary Work (Skilled) (Sc 457), Temporary Skill Shortage (Sc 482), and Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (provisional) (Sc 494)
*************************************************************************
Visa holders who stop working with their sponsoring employer now have more time to find a new sponsor, apply for a different visa, or arrange to leave Australia.

These visa holders will have:

# Up to 180 days at a time
# A total maximum of 365 days across the entire visa period

During this period, visa holders can work for other employers, even in occupations not listed in their most recent sponsorship nomination. This allows them to support themselves while searching for a new sponsor.

Unless exempt, visa holders cannot work for another employer until they have stopped working with their sponsoring employer. They must stay in their nominated occupation while employed by their current sponsor.

Sponsors must notify the department within 28 days of any changes, such as ending sponsorship or if a visa holder resigns.

Visa holders must comply with any licence or registration requirements for their nominated occupation, including all conditions and requirements.

These changes apply to both existing visa holders and those granted a visa on or after 1 July 2024. Any time a visa holder was not working for their sponsor before 1 July 2024 will not count towards the new time periods.

Working in NSW, but not in Sydney?
The New South Wales Government has opened a new application process under the Skilled Work Regional Subclass 491 program, offering a direct application pathway. This pathway is specifically for individuals who have a well-established work history with an employer based in regional New South Wales.
The primary goal of this pathway is to support those applicants who are already making a substantial contribution to regional New South Wales and have been employed in the region for a continuous period of 12 months.
Pathway 1 comes with additional requirements compared to other available pathways. These include:
🟦The applicant must presently reside and work in a designated regional area of New South Wales and have done so continuously for the past 12 months.

🟦The applicant's skilled employment in the twelve months immediately preceding the application must have been with a single employer based in regional New South Wales, and the occupation should be nominated or closely related.

🟦The chosen occupation must meet the skill criteria set by New South Wales.

🟦The position must offer a minimum annual salary of $70,000 (adjusted proportionally if working less than 38 hours per week) provided by the qualifying employer.

Do you think you meet the above? Be in touch!

🧭 Navigating Employment in Australia as a New Migrant or Visa Applicant 🧭
Tip #9
For new migrants, finding a job in Australia is not only key to financial stability but can also be crucial for visa validity. A multi-pronged strategy, that includes networking and customising applications, is often the most effective approach. By adopting a diversified strategy, you’re not just increasing your chances of landing a job, but also solidifying your professional and immigration standing in Australia.

NSW 1️⃣9️⃣0️⃣ !
If you're a potential visa applicant looking to be sponsored by New South Wales (NSW) for visas 190 or 491, there are some important changes you need to be aware of.

*Sector-Focused Approach*
NSW is shifting its focus from specific occupations to entire sectors that are in need of skilled workers. This means that instead of looking at a list of eligible job roles classified under ANZSCO, you should now be looking at sectors where your skills may be in high demand.

*NSW Target Sectors*
The targeted sectors for this year have been identified based on skills shortages in NSW and include:

Health
Education
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
Infrastructure
Agriculture

If your expertise falls into one of these sectors, you'll have a better chance of receiving an invitation for NSW nomination.

*Other Important Points*
Expression of Interests (EOIs): Even if you're not in one of these priority sectors, you can still submit an EOI. However, EOIs in priority sectors will be given preference.

Invitation Rounds: These will continue to happen throughout the financial year, but the dates are not predetermined or publicly announced.

Selection Criteria: Multiple factors such as your points score, English language proficiency, and skilled work experience will be considered during the selection process.

Due to high demand and limited spots, it's recommended to also explore other migration options available to you. If you need guidance and professional advice, contact us.

Tip #3
Proactive Outreach: Door-Knocking, Emails, and Phone Calls
Taking the initiative to connect with potential employers or industry insiders can make a significant difference in your job search. Door-knocking remains an effective method, especially in smaller communities or specialised industries where in-person interaction is highly valued. However, in today's digital age, reaching out via email or phone calls is equally potent.
Sending a thoughtful email to someone in your field, even without a direct job opening in mind, can establish an initial connection. The same applies to phone calls—just a brief and polite conversation could place you on someone's radar for future opportunities. One effective approach is to invite a professional within your industry for a coffee chat. This creates a casual, low-obligation setting for both parties to share insights and explore potential avenues for collaboration. These coffee meet-ups often lead to unexpected opportunities, either directly through job offers or indirectly through referrals and introductions to other professionals. The key is to be genuine, engaged, and open to the conversation's potential.

Building a Relationship with Your Recruiter
Recruiters are invaluable guides in the complex maze of job hunting. Establishing a rapport with your recruiter can offer you insider knowledge on the company culture and possibly give you a leg up in the hiring process. Keep the lines of communication open and consider sending polite follow-up emails to stay in the loop.

20/09/2023

🧭 Navigating Employment in Australia as a New Migrant or Visa Applicant 🧭
Tip #1
Tailoring Your CV
In Australia, recruiters appreciate a CV that aligns closely with the specific job description. A generic CV often gets overlooked. Take the time to understand the role's requirements and modify your CV to spotlight your relevant skills and experience. Doing so not only shows initiative but also demonstrates a keen understanding of the job's needs.

🧭 Navigating Employment in Australia as a New Migrant or Visa Applicant 🧭
For new migrants looking to establish a long-term future in Australia, securing employment isn't just about financial stability—it also plays a critical role in visa eligibility. Certain visa types, especially those related to state nomination, require applicants to be employed in their field or to have a job offer relevant to their skills. Hence, being proactive in your job search isn't merely advisable, it's often a prerequisite for remaining in the country.
The Australian job market is highly competitive, offering a plethora of opportunities across multiple sectors. However, new migrants, especially ones without Australian work experience, often find that navigating the professional environment comes with its set of challenges. Tailoring your approach to meet Australian expectations and building a strong network within your industry can significantly influence your chances of success.

Why applications for Skills Assessment with VETASSESS are delayed???

Hello there, future applicants! We understand that waiting for your skills assessment can be quite nerve-wracking, especially when there are delays. At best of times, VETASSESS assessments can take months, and you definitely don’t want it to take any longer…
Here are the most common mistakes that may delay processing times:

1. Signature Issues: 🖋 Sometimes, applications are held up because the applicant's or agent's signatures are missing from the form, or a blank form is uploaded to bypass the process. It's crucial that all required signatures are in place to ensure a smooth review.

2. Photograph Problems: 📸 Poor-quality photos or scans can make it challenging for VETASSESS to process the application. To prevent this:
• Ensure the photo is of high resolution.
• Avoid scanning photos at odd angles or attaching multiple photos together.
• Say no to side profile shots.
• Do not use selfies.

3. Proof of Identity Challenges: 🔍 Submitting proper proof of identity documents is a key step. Here are some things to remember:
• Provide sufficient personal identification documentation. Insufficient documents are a major reason for application delays.
• If your documents aren't in English, make sure to include accurate translations.
• Always provide original documents, not just copies, and avoid black and white scans or documents with certain verification stamps.

🌟 How to Avoid These Delays: To ensure your application sails smoothly through the assessment process, follow these tips:
• Triple-check that all necessary signatures are present on forms.
• Use high-quality, clear photographs that adhere to guidelines.
• Provide complete and properly translated proof of identity documents.
• Include original documents even when you submit their translations.
We are committed to helping you navigate through the migration process seamlessly. Remember, a little attention to detail goes a long way in ensuring your application progresses without unnecessary delays.

🌏 Exciting News for Skilled Professionals! 🌟
Attention all skilled individuals seeking to migrate to Australia! The 2023-24 Permanent Migration Program has allocated 30,375 places for Skilled Independent visas! This presents an incredible opportunity for you to fulfill your dreams of building a successful career and a prosperous life Down Under.
As of June 2023, Australia has received a staggering number of Expressions of Interest (EOI) for visa subclass 189, with nearly 100,000 submissions claiming at least 65 points.
Furthermore, the demand for permanent state-sponsored visas, such as the 190 visa, has been even higher, with over 170,000 EOIs submitted claiming at least 65 points. These numbers truly reflect the immense interest and enthusiasm of skilled professionals like you in pursuing opportunities in Australia.
But here's the key point: state-sponsored visas offer unique benefits that set them apart from the Skilled Independent visa subclass 189. These visas, namely the 190 and 491, provide you with an extra advantage as the states are more selective in their nomination process. This means that if you meet the state’s criteria, your chances of receiving an invitation to apply for a visa increase significantly.
Now, the great news is that the states are about to open their nomination programs! This is the perfect time to prepare yourself for the forthcoming opportunities. By proactively equipping yourself with the necessary knowledge and making sure you meet each state's requirements, you can be prepared when the opportunities present themselves.
This is your chance of securing your dream. Don't miss out on potential pathways that may align perfectly with your skills and aspirations.
🌟 Let Australia be your new home, where your skills are valued, and your dreams come true 🏡

Need to pay tax in Australia?
FYI: The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) will be conducting a passenger movements data-matching program from 2023 through 2025.
The ATO will acquire passenger movement data from the Department of Home Affairs, including information such as full name, date of birth, arrival date, departure date, passport information, and status types. This data will be electronically matched with ATO data holdings to identify taxpayers who may need tailored information to meet their tax and superannuation obligations, as well as to ensure compliance with taxation and superannuation laws.
The objectives of this program include identifying non-compliance, ineligible claims, and entities exploiting non-compliant methodologies. It aims to improve voluntary compliance through administrative strategies, refine risk detection models, and educate individuals and businesses to meet their obligations. The program also seeks to enhance knowledge of compliance risks and promote voluntary compliance to increase community confidence in the tax and superannuation systems.
The program follows the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner's guidelines on data matching, ensuring compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles and the Privacy Act. The ATO's privacy policy can be accessed for more information on their privacy practices.
For further details on this program, a document describing it is available at ato.gov.au/dmprotocols. The ATO's privacy policy can be found at ato.gov.au/privacy.
If you need more information about your tax commitments, please talk to your accountant!

We prepare and publish a protocol for each of our data-matching programs to explain the program's purpose, what data is collected and how the data will be used.

📢 Attention Skilled Migrants! We continue our series about Employment Points in Australia! 🌟
If you're planning to migrate to Australia based on your skilled occupation, we have some important information regarding employment requirements that you should know if you are planning to apply for a points-tested visa (189/190/491). Go back if you missed the previous posts!

You must have wondered what happens if your career has progressed over the years, or if you worked in different positions that do not match your nominated occupation or a related occupation under the same ANZSCO unit. That's a complex issue that is assessed on a case-by-case basis. Few points to take home:
🔹 Career Advancement and Promotion: In most cases, career advancement involves promotion to a senior role or a higher level that aligns with your field of expertise and carries greater responsibility. For instance, over a 10-year period, an accountant or engineer may progress to roles like Chief Accountant, Chief Engineer, or even Chief Executive Officer. This type of career advancement may occur outside the four-digit ANZSCO unit group, but it can be considered as an exception to the policy requirement that closely related occupations should be in the same ANZSCO unit group. This exception is applicable when it follows a well-established path for career growth.

🔹 ANZSCO Minor Group Code: Generally, most occupations within the 10-year period fall under the three-digit ANZSCO Minor group code. However, reasonable exceptions may occur. For example, a Biologist could transition to a University Lecturer while utilising their biology experience in their new role.

🔹 Exceptions for Managerial Positions: Applicants in managerial positions, which fall within the Major group of ANZSCO, may also have reasonable exceptions in their career progression.

Australia recognises the value of career advancement and the diverse paths professionals can take within their field. This may allow for flexibility and recognition of exceptional career growth opportunities.

📢 Attention Skilled Migrants! We continue our series about Employment Points in Australia! 🌟
If you're planning to migrate to Australia based on your skilled occupation, we have some important information regarding employment requirements that you should know if you are planning to apply for a points-tested visa (189/190/491). Go back if you missed the previous posts!

You can claim points only for skilled employment in your nominated occupation, or closely related. What does it mean?
🔹 Skills Assessing Outcome: The opinion of the relevant skills assessing authority plays a significant role in determining the period of skilled employment. This includes the date on which they deemed you to be skilled in your occupation. However, it is not the only factor. Continue reading

🔹 ANZSCO and Relevant Qualifications/Experience: The Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) is considered along with any prerequisite qualifications or work experience related to your claimed skilled employment. This information helps in assessing the validity and relevance of your employment.

🔹 Consideration of Other Relevant Information: Decision makers also take into account any other relevant information, such as employment records and references, to determine the accuracy of your claimed skilled employment.

🔹 Favorable Outcome Consideration: If the skills assessing authority's opinion would result in awarding fewer points than you claimed in your Expression of Interest (EOI), decision makers can refer to ANZSCO and apply the more beneficial outcome to determine when you were working at a skilled level.

🔹 Importance of Supporting Documents: While considering the opinion of skills assessing authorities, decision makers also assess the genuineness of the supporting documents provided by applicants. It's crucial to ensure the authenticity of your employment records and references.

🔹 Focus on Occupation Tasks: The regulations only require applicants to be employed in a nominated skilled occupation for a specific period of time. The decision maker considers whether you are performing at least some of the prescribed duties for that occupation in ANZSCO. For example, if you claim employment as a registered nurse, the tasks you are undertaking align with the duties of a registered nurse.

It's important to provide accurate and comprehensive documentation supporting your skilled employment claims.

If you're planning to migrate to Australia based on your skilled occupation, we have some important information regarding employment requirements that you should know if you are planning to apply for a points-tested visa (189/190/491). Go back if you missed the previous posts!

Can you claim points for leave periods?
🔹 Employment for Remuneration: To claim points, your employment must involve receiving payment. This means only periods of leave on full pay will be counted as time during which you were employed.

🔹 Exclusion of Extended Unpaid Leave: Periods of extended leave without pay, such as maternity or paternity leave, will not be considered as employment for points assessment purposes. Only periods during which you received full pay will be counted towards your employment experience.

It's essential to keep these considerations in mind while calculating your points based on your employment experience.

📢 Attention Skilled Migrants! We continue our series about Employment Points in Australia! 🌟

If you're planning to migrate to Australia based on your skilled occupation, we have some important information regarding employment requirements that you should know if you are planning to apply for a points-tested visa (189/190/491). Go back if you missed the previous posts!
🔹 You do not need full-time employment to claim points!

In general, you need to work a minimum of 20 hours each week to be able to claim points for a period of employment.
For certain jobs with variable work hours extending beyond a week, like shift workers, "Fly In Fly Out" workers, or seafarers, the decision makers will consider your situation to determine if you meet the 20-hour per week criterion.
If you're employed on a casual basis and fell short of the 20-hour benchmark for some weeks due to illness or compassionate reasons, fairness will be applied in assessing your case.
If you worked in two different positions 20 hours a week totaling in each position, but you did it over the same period: you can claim points only for one employment.
If you worked 60 hours a week in one employment, you can still claim the same number of points as if you worked only 20 hours a week.

Does the "20 hours a week" rule apply to all visas or skills assessment procedures? NO. You should check the specific criteria of the visa or skills assessment you need before you submit an application.

📢 Attention Skilled Migrants! We continue our series about Employment Points in Australia! 🌟

If you're planning to migrate to Australia based on your skilled occupation, we have some important information regarding employment requirements that you should know if you are planing to apply for a points-tested visa (189/190/491). We want to make it simple and straightforward, without the legal jargon. Here's what you need to understand:

🔹 Definition of 'Employed': Being engaged in an occupation for at least 20 hours per week while receiving payment.

🔹 Remuneration Requirement: To earn employment points, it's essential that you have been paid for your work. Unpaid experience or personal satisfaction doesn't count for points.

🔹 Scenarios That Don't Qualify as Employment:

If you're a postgraduate student receiving income from living allowances or scholarships meant for covering your expenses.
Skilled work experience gained as part of a work placement during a Professional Year. These internships are considered developmental programs, not actual employment. However, if you have separate paid employment alongside your Professional Year, that can count for Australian employment points.

Understanding these employment requirements is crucial for a successful visa application to Australia. Make sure you have the necessary documentation to validate your employment experience. Be in touch for more assistance!

How many points can you claim for employment???

Are you a skilled professional looking to migrate to Australia? Then you are probably exploring the "General Skilled Visas", perhaps alongside other options. The "General Skilled Visas" are points tested, and many people struggle to understand how to calculate their points. We will try to clarify exactly that in this and the upcoming posts!
The Australian government recognises the immense value of work experience in a nominated skilled occupation or a closely related field. That's why they're awarding points for skilled employment factors to ensure successful labor market outcomes for potential migrants like you.

Here's what you need to know:

🔹 Points for Australian and Overseas Employment: Your relevant Australian and overseas skilled employment in the 10-year period prior to receiving the invitation to apply for the visa will be considered for awarding points.

🔹 Importance of Australian Work Experience: Higher points will be awarded for Australian skilled employment. Firsthand experience and understanding of the Australian work environment are highly valued, as they assist migrants in establishing themselves in the Australian labor market and settling into life Down Under.

🔹 Accumulated Employment Periods: Continuous employment is not mandatory. It's the total period of relevant employment experience that matters. So, even if your skilled employment is interspersed with non-related employment, study, or other activities, you can still be eligible for points.

🔹 Example Scenario: Let's say you're a developer programmer. You work as a developer programmer for 2 years, pursue postgraduate studies for 2 years, work as an ICT business analyst for 2 years, and then work as a developer programmer again for 3 years. In this case, you'll be eligible for points based on your 5 years of employment experience as a developer programmer (as long as it falls within the 10-year period before your visa application).

🔹 Combination of Australian and Overseas Employment: If you have both Australian and overseas skilled employment experience, you can earn points for both. For instance, if you're a chef and have worked as a chef overseas for 5 years and as a chef in Australia on a temporary employment visa for 3 years, you'll be eligible for points based on your total of 8 years of experience.

🔹 Important Note: You cannot combine shorter periods of skilled employment gained inside and outside Australia to meet the Australian or overseas skilled employment experience factors. Each category must be met independently.

🔹 Australian Work Experience Requirements: Employment must be physically undertaken in Australia to be considered Australian work experience. Additionally, work performed in areas without a postcode, for an Australian-registered company, will count towards Australian work experience.

Start your journey to a thriving career and a fulfilling life in Australia! 🌞
