2024 marks a significant shift toward a more sustainable migration system by introducing the Skills In-Demand Visa. This visa program is set to replace the Temporary Skilled Shortage (subclass 482) Visa.

Core Skills Stream
This is for skilled migrants whose occupation is on a new Core Skills Occupation list with guaranteed annual earnings of at least AUD 70,000
Essential Skills Stream
This will be for workers paid below AUD 70,000 with essential skills. Most of these workers are sponsored through labour agreements.
