Temporary Skill Shortage (‘TSS’) Subclass 482 Work Visa
This is a temporary work visa enabling an employer to sponsor a skilled overseas worker to fill a position they cannot fill from the local labour market.
This visa has three streams:
- Short term stream where applicants are eligible for a maximum of 2 x 2 year visas;
- Medium to long term stream allowing applicants up to 4 year visas each time; and
- Labour Agreement stream for those employers that have negotiated a Labour Agreement with the Australian Government.
The medium to long term stream (and in some cases the Labour Agreement stream) also provide a pathway to Permanent Residency.
Whether the nominated occupation sits on the Short Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) or Medium to Long Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) determines whether an individual is in the short term or medium to long term stream.
(Note: Most health professionals, including GP’s are on the MLTSSL. Also note that employers looking to sponsor Doctors, must first obtain a Health Workforce Certificate.)
The subclass 482 visa process
The process to obtain a subclass 482 visa involves 3 stages:
- Sponsorship application by the employer
- Nomination application by the employer
- Visa application by the employee
