Resumen

TLDRThe video highlights updates in Australian immigration, particularly the introduction of the Skills in Demand Visa, which is essentially a revamped version of the 482 Visa.

Despite anticipation for a simplified Visa, the new 482 Visa, formerly known as the Temporary Skills Shortage Visa, offers minimal changes plus an added financial capacity requirement. The labor market testing and other previous requirements remain largely unchanged. However, improvements include relaxed conditions for permanent residency through the 186 Visa TRT stream.

    The new Core Skilled Occupation List released has sparked controversy, especially with removals affecting industries like hospitality and construction. International students remain a vital component amidst debates on visa caps influenced by the housing crisis. Meanwhile, the "National Innovation Visa," a rebranded 858 Global Talent Visa, now requires invitations for application, targeting internationally recognized individuals with exceptional talent.

    law Services the company I founded more
  • 00:00:26
    than 26 years ago right here in the
  • 00:00:29
    heart of Sydney as I said last week lots
  • 00:00:31
    can happen in the world of Australian
  • 00:00:33
    migration before Christmas so let's get
  • 00:00:39
    going finally these schools in demand
  • 00:00:41
    Visa has arrived with the legislation
  • 00:00:43
    released yesterday as it turns out we're
  • 00:00:46
    still stuck with the old for8 2 Visa
  • 00:00:49
    with just a new name prior to the 7th of
  • 00:00:51
    December the for8 2 Visa was called the
  • 00:00:54
    temporary skills shortage visa and now
  • 00:00:57
    it's called the skills and demand Visa
  • 00:01:00
    the revised requirements of the 482 Visa
  • 00:01:02
    is certainly not the easier to navigate
  • 00:01:05
    working Visa we were promised by the
  • 00:01:07
    government yes we were all expecting a
  • 00:01:10
    faster userfriendly Visa subass but
  • 00:01:13
    instead we received just a facelift
  • 00:01:15
    model with a promise of a further
  • 00:01:17
    facelift still to come when they finally
  • 00:01:20
    figure out the essential skilled stream
  • 00:01:23
    the same labor market testing
  • 00:01:25
    requirements are there which we thought
  • 00:01:26
    were going to be removed the same
  • 00:01:28
    genuine position requirements the same
  • 00:01:31
    Market salary rate requirements the same
  • 00:01:33
    skilled Australia fund requirements and
  • 00:01:36
    even now a new Financial capacity
  • 00:01:38
    requirement has been added overall it
  • 00:01:41
    remains an expensive and complicated
  • 00:01:44
    visa for businesses to use to sponsor
  • 00:01:46
    workers we need here in Australia
  • 00:01:49
    however on the positive side for Visa
  • 00:01:51
    holders in particular there are some
  • 00:01:53
    great reforms more 482 Visa holders will
  • 00:01:56
    have access to permanent residency than
  • 00:01:59
    ever 4 let's cover the key standout
  • 00:02:02
    changes that benefit Visa applicants
  • 00:02:04
    before we go into the individual three
  • 00:02:07
    streams that make up the Sid Visa
  • 00:02:10
    firstly to be sponsored for permanent
  • 00:02:12
    residency through the 186 Visa trt
  • 00:02:15
    stream Visa applicants will be able to
  • 00:02:17
    combine periods of employment with any
  • 00:02:20
    employers while they held e482 Visa or
  • 00:02:23
    the old 457 visa for the 3 years before
  • 00:02:27
    the application was made this is a great
  • 00:02:29
    change of having to be working for your
  • 00:02:31
    sponsoring employer for 2 years before
  • 00:02:33
    you could apply secondly the direct
  • 00:02:36
    entry stream of the ens Visa opens up
  • 00:02:39
    now to all occupations on the new CSO
  • 00:02:43
    and we'll discuss the new csol later in
  • 00:02:47
    this Edition that is a huge increase of
  • 00:02:50
    possibilities to be sponsored for many
  • 00:02:52
    more occupations than ever before
  • 00:02:54
    thirdly is the reduction of work
  • 00:02:56
    experience requirement from 2 years down
  • 00:02:58
    to one year part-time and Casual work
  • 00:03:01
    experience is accepted now to make up
  • 00:03:03
    that one year but this must have
  • 00:03:06
    occurred in the last 5 years before you
  • 00:03:09
    apply this will make it easier for
  • 00:03:12
    international students to use work
  • 00:03:14
    experience possibly while they are
  • 00:03:15
    studying all while on The Graduate 485
  • 00:03:18
    visa after they complete their programs
  • 00:03:21
    and finally if you have lodged your
  • 00:03:23
    expensive 482 visa application but the
  • 00:03:26
    business's nomination is refused you can
  • 00:03:28
    apply for a refund fund of your
  • 00:03:30
    application fees if you withdraw your
  • 00:03:33
    application now the three streams which
  • 00:03:36
    most of you will have heard about before
  • 00:03:38
    the specialist skills stream this stream
  • 00:03:40
    is for nominated occupations where a
  • 00:03:43
    salary of more than
  • 00:03:44
    135,000 is going to be paid to the Visa
  • 00:03:48
    applicant the nominated occupation does
  • 00:03:50
    not need to be on any specific
  • 00:03:53
    government list but it does need to be
  • 00:03:55
    in the ancro group levels at least Group
  • 00:03:58
    1 2 4 five or six this is a much broader
  • 00:04:02
    range of occupations than anticipated
  • 00:04:05
    much to the Construction Industries
  • 00:04:07
    annoyance and complaints anco
  • 00:04:09
    occupations in groups 3 7 and 8 are not
  • 00:04:13
    permitted to be used for this stream
  • 00:04:15
    even if the incomes are well in excess
  • 00:04:17
    of
  • 00:04:18
    135,000 so we may have the unusual
  • 00:04:21
    situation where a retail sales assistant
  • 00:04:24
    anco 621 1111 which requires just a
  • 00:04:27
    certificate one level education in
  • 00:04:29
    Australia being paid
  • 00:04:32
    135,000 and using the specialist skills
  • 00:04:34
    stream and receiving Express Visa
  • 00:04:37
    processing of just 7 Days however we
  • 00:04:41
    cannot sponsor the much needed excavator
  • 00:04:43
    operators ansco 721 214 even if they are
  • 00:04:48
    offered more than
  • 00:04:50
    135,000 since they are banned from this
  • 00:04:53
    stream and also not on the CSO either in
  • 00:04:57
    fact the inclusion of anco level 5 and
  • 00:04:59
    occupations to these specialist Pathways
  • 00:05:02
    seems a little curious considering the
  • 00:05:05
    statements in the government's migration
  • 00:05:07
    strategy announcements regarding this
  • 00:05:09
    stream beforehand in these announcements
  • 00:05:12
    the government said applicants would
  • 00:05:14
    bring productivity enhancing knowledge
  • 00:05:16
    and ideas create jobs for locals and
  • 00:05:20
    generate significant fiscal returns
  • 00:05:22
    through taxation they help meet labor
  • 00:05:25
    needs that exist in an individual firm
  • 00:05:28
    level and assist companies in acquiring
  • 00:05:31
    specialist knowledge Niche Technologies
  • 00:05:34
    or research expertise unavailable in
  • 00:05:36
    Australia and skill sets not picked up
  • 00:05:39
    in occupational definition now if
  • 00:05:42
    someone in the department could let us
  • 00:05:44
    know how a retail sales assistant could
  • 00:05:46
    meet those criteria sprued in the
  • 00:05:49
    strategy please let me know and that
  • 00:05:51
    leads me to the second stream the core
  • 00:05:53
    skilled occupation stream to use this
  • 00:05:56
    stream your occupation must be one of
  • 00:05:58
    the 4 56 occupations on the core skilled
  • 00:06:02
    occupation list Visa applicants must be
  • 00:06:04
    paid at least the level of the tism
  • 00:06:06
    which is currently
  • 00:06:09
    73,5 however Market salary rate
  • 00:06:12
    calculations kick in which is often much
  • 00:06:14
    more than the tsmma but below
  • 00:06:17
    135,000 determining the MSR is a
  • 00:06:20
    complicated exercise one which we
  • 00:06:22
    thought we would have no need for
  • 00:06:24
    anymore for this new so-called Sid visa
  • 00:06:28
    and the last stream is the labor
  • 00:06:30
    agreement stream if this sounds familiar
  • 00:06:33
    because it's exactly the same as the
  • 00:06:35
    temporary skills shortage 482 Visa labor
  • 00:06:38
    agreement stream this is because the
  • 00:06:40
    government has still to determine how
  • 00:06:42
    the expected essential skills stream is
  • 00:06:44
    going to work maybe we need an
  • 00:06:46
    immigration Minister who is actually
  • 00:06:49
    going to focus on immigration and assist
  • 00:06:52
    in finalizing this stream even the
  • 00:06:54
    English language requirement for the Sid
  • 00:06:57
    is the same as the temporary shortage
  • 00:06:59
    version and isot to equivalent test
  • 00:07:02
    level of five overall with a minimum of
  • 00:07:04
    five in each component now all of this
  • 00:07:07
    new legislation is not retrospective
  • 00:07:10
    which means that will apply only to
  • 00:07:12
    visas lodged after the 7th of December
  • 00:07:15
    nominations that have already been
  • 00:07:16
    lodged but undecided will be processed
  • 00:07:19
    according to the old rules in place
  • 00:07:21
    before
  • 00:07:24
    today finally the much anticipated new
  • 00:07:27
    core skilled occupation list kn as the
  • 00:07:30
    csol was released this week there is
  • 00:07:32
    some confusion out there about the
  • 00:07:34
    various lists remember at this stage the
  • 00:07:38
    csol is for the new skills in demand
  • 00:07:41
    visa and the employee nomination scheme
  • 00:07:43
    visas only it is not the skilled
  • 00:07:46
    occupation list for the points visas
  • 00:07:49
    such as for the 189 190 and 491 visas
  • 00:07:53
    too many people's relief 456 occupations
  • 00:07:57
    appeared on the csol which was more than
  • 00:07:59
    expected many were delighted by the new
  • 00:08:02
    occupations such as child care workers
  • 00:08:04
    but restaurant managers and others who
  • 00:08:06
    had been removed suffered great stress
  • 00:08:09
    stories came out thick and fast in the
  • 00:08:11
    media once the new list of occupations
  • 00:08:13
    sank in restaurants slammed the move to
  • 00:08:16
    remove restaurant managers and not to
  • 00:08:18
    include Frontline staff on the list this
  • 00:08:21
    article in the Sydney Morning Herold
  • 00:08:23
    reads Australians don't want to do the
  • 00:08:26
    work top restaurants slam migration
  • 00:08:28
    Crackdown the article highlights the
  • 00:08:30
    owner of the upmarket Catalina
  • 00:08:32
    Restaurant in the Posh Harborside suburb
  • 00:08:35
    of Rose Bay in Sydney he says I just
  • 00:08:39
    can't find Australians to do the work
  • 00:08:41
    the idea that we can have too many
  • 00:08:43
    foreign students and they will pair it
  • 00:08:45
    back just doesn't add up we're crying
  • 00:08:48
    out for skills other articles focused on
  • 00:08:52
    the construction industry slamming the
  • 00:08:54
    government for including yoga teachers
  • 00:08:56
    on the list but not crane operators and
  • 00:08:58
    other essential building workers the
  • 00:09:01
    article reads a key Industry Group says
  • 00:09:03
    they are dismayed after key construction
  • 00:09:06
    workers were left of a revamped list
  • 00:09:09
    detailing skilled migrants who can
  • 00:09:11
    access visas saying the oversight will
  • 00:09:13
    only inflame Australia's housing crisis
  • 00:09:16
    and labor shortage many occupations have
  • 00:09:19
    been added to the list for the first
  • 00:09:21
    time and here are some examples on your
  • 00:09:24
    screen in the agricultural sector we
  • 00:09:26
    have irrigation designer and tree worker
  • 00:09:29
    it occupations such as data analyst and
  • 00:09:32
    penetration tester in health services
  • 00:09:35
    such as respiratory scientist and
  • 00:09:37
    respiratory technician business related
  • 00:09:40
    such as retail manager and office
  • 00:09:43
    manager and I can see those two
  • 00:09:45
    occupations will be very popular and in
  • 00:09:48
    the trades and Technical occupations we
  • 00:09:50
    have fire protection plumber and furnit
  • 00:09:53
    maker in the service Industries we have
  • 00:09:56
    out of school care worker and tour guide
  • 00:09:59
    in legal services we have convey and
  • 00:10:03
    legal secretary and in the media we have
  • 00:10:05
    radio journalist still no YouTube
  • 00:10:08
    journalists as yet but maybe we'll be
  • 00:10:11
    recognized one day for those occupations
  • 00:10:14
    that have been removed well you will
  • 00:10:16
    know by now by looking at the list if
  • 00:10:18
    your occupation is no longer there
  • 00:10:21
    fortunately chefs and Cooks remain to
  • 00:10:23
    keep the hospitality industry from going
  • 00:10:26
    bankrupt now if your occupation has been
  • 00:10:28
    removed and a new nomination for the 482
  • 00:10:31
    Visa has yet to be lodged before the
  • 00:10:34
    changes you can no longer obtain another
  • 00:10:37
    482
  • 00:10:39
    Visa somewhat relieved that the student
  • 00:10:42
    visa cap Saga seems to be over the South
  • 00:10:45
    Australian Premier was out this week
  • 00:10:47
    promoting the benefits of international
  • 00:10:50
    students my personal view is this um you
  • 00:10:53
    know in a state like South Australia
  • 00:10:55
    we've got capacity to have a lot more
  • 00:10:57
    International students and we want them
  • 00:10:59
    um International students provide you
  • 00:11:01
    know first and foremost huge sources of
  • 00:11:04
    revenue for our high education sector
  • 00:11:06
    which underpins R&D investment in our
  • 00:11:08
    country we need more R&D if we want to
  • 00:11:10
    see productivity improve not less and
  • 00:11:13
    then secondly International students
  • 00:11:15
    provide an important source of Labor um
  • 00:11:19
    particularly amongst you know Industries
  • 00:11:21
    such as the hospitality and the retail
  • 00:11:22
    sector who are crying out for for
  • 00:11:24
    workers so I I'm not too sure why we're
  • 00:11:28
    doing this apart from the fact that
  • 00:11:29
    we've got a housing Supply crisis but
  • 00:11:31
    Jason cla's aspirations to be the Lord
  • 00:11:33
    and Master of the education industry
  • 00:11:36
    will no doubt lead his buddies in the
  • 00:11:38
    immigration portfolio to conjure up some
  • 00:11:40
    new scheme it looks as though he has an
  • 00:11:43
    eye on a new ministerial direction as
  • 00:11:45
    this article in the Australian indicates
  • 00:11:48
    Direction 107 may be scrapped Jason CLA
  • 00:11:52
    set to scrap controversial Direction
  • 00:11:54
    after international student caps sunk
  • 00:11:58
    however this head line is highly odd I
  • 00:12:00
    thought it was the immigration
  • 00:12:02
    Minister's role to set Visa processing
  • 00:12:04
    priorities not the education ministers
  • 00:12:07
    perhaps the Australian newspaper knows
  • 00:12:09
    something that the rest of the public
  • 00:12:11
    does not the article outlined some
  • 00:12:14
    staggering statistics it reads since
  • 00:12:17
    Direction 107 was introduced the number
  • 00:12:19
    of offshore student visa applications
  • 00:12:21
    lodged has fallen
  • 00:12:23
    37% as prospective students look to
  • 00:12:26
    other markets with greater chances of
  • 00:12:29
    success applications from India have
  • 00:12:32
    fallen by 43% between January and
  • 00:12:35
    October compared to last year
  • 00:12:37
    applications from Nepal dropped by 57%
  • 00:12:41
    and those from the Philippines plunged
  • 00:12:44
    67% however Visa applications from China
  • 00:12:47
    have dipped by less than 2% with Chinese
  • 00:12:50
    students typically favoring the group of
  • 00:12:53
    eight universities with these sort of
  • 00:12:55
    figures it begs a question is Direction
  • 00:12:58
    107 about restricting International
  • 00:13:01
    students or is it aimed at reducing
  • 00:13:03
    specific ethnic origins of international
  • 00:13:06
    students if I were our new mates PM I
  • 00:13:09
    would feel uncomfortable reading these
  • 00:13:14
    figures and finally tonight the new
  • 00:13:17
    National Innovation Visa has arrived
  • 00:13:19
    which is really the same facelift model
  • 00:13:21
    as the 858 Global Talent Visa there is
  • 00:13:24
    not a great deal of change here in the
  • 00:13:26
    regulations except that you cannot apply
  • 00:13:28
    Direct directly for this Visa anymore
  • 00:13:31
    you must wait for an invitation now how
  • 00:13:34
    you're going to get such an invitation
  • 00:13:36
    is unclear and today on Friday when I'm
  • 00:13:38
    filming it's the same Global Talent Visa
  • 00:13:41
    information still on their website the
  • 00:13:43
    only thing the explanatory statement
  • 00:13:45
    said regarding this legislation was it
  • 00:13:48
    requires that an applicant's
  • 00:13:49
    internationally recognized record of
  • 00:13:51
    exceptional and outstanding achievement
  • 00:13:53
    to be the same as that stated in the
  • 00:13:56
    invitation at the time of application so
  • 00:13:59
    the national Innovation Visa is
  • 00:14:01
    searching for exceptional individuals
  • 00:14:03
    internationally recognized for their
  • 00:14:05
    outstanding achievements and if this
  • 00:14:07
    sounds like you then stay tuned for more
  • 00:14:10
    details well there has certainly been a
  • 00:14:12
    lot to analyze this week to get this
  • 00:14:14
    video ready for you for the weekend and
  • 00:14:16
    I hope you have found it useful the new
  • 00:14:19
    requirements will open the doors for
  • 00:14:20
    many and sadly close for some if you
  • 00:14:23
    need help figuring out what to do then
