Temporary Skill Shortage Visa - Subclass 482

With the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482), skilled workers can enter Australia for a maximum of four years of employment with an authorized employer. This visa has three streams: the Short-Term stream, the Medium-Term stream, and the Labour Agreement stream. The Short-Term stream is designed for employers to fill short-term skill gaps, while the Medium-Term stream is for employers seeking to fill medium-term skill shortages. The Labour Agreement stream allows employers to sponsor skilled workers under a labor agreement negotiated with the Australian government.

The Subclass 482 visa provides skilled workers with the opportunity to live and work in Australia temporarily, gaining valuable experience and contributing to the Australian workforce. It also offers a pathway to permanent residency for skilled workers who meet certain criteria, providing them with the opportunity to build their futures in Australia.

For employers, the Subclass 482 visa offers a flexible and efficient way to address skill shortages and access the talent they need to grow and succeed. By sponsoring skilled workers under this visa, employers can fill critical skill gaps and enhance their competitiveness in the global market.
