Skills in Demand (Subclass 482): The Employer-Sponsored Work Visa for Skilled Professionals


Businesses in today's globalized economy are always looking for qualified individuals to fill important positions.

Employers in Australia can fill workforce shortages by sponsoring foreign talent under the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (Subclass 482).

With the help of this visa, qualified professionals can work in Australia, obtain foreign experience, and eventually become permanent residents. 

What is the Subclass 482 Visa?

When Australian companies cannot find qualified workers in Australia, they can sponsor skilled workers from other countries. They do this using the Subclass 482 visa, known as the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa. 

There are three streams for this visa:

  • For jobs on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List - The Short-Term Stream lasts up to two years. It can last four years if an International Trade Obligation applies.
  • Medium-Term Stream - This is for jobs on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). It is valid for up to four years and offers a way to get permanent residency.
  • Labour Agreement Stream - The visa aims to fill skill gaps quickly. It also makes sure that Australian workers are the top priority in the job market.

Key Requirements for the Skills in Demand (Subclass 482) Visa

The following requirements must be fulfilled to be eligible for a Subclass 482 visa:

  • The Skilled Occupation List that pertains to your immigration stream must include your line of work.
  • Your position must be nominated by your employer, who must also be an authorized sponsor.
  • You must be qualified for the specified occupation and possess relevant work experience.
  • Unless you are exempt, you must meet the requirements for English language competency.
  • You must meet the Department of Home Affairs's character and health criteria.
  • Depending on your line of work, you might have to go through a skills evaluation.
