Employer-sponsored 482 visa changes in 2024

There have been a lot of changes announced and made to the Temporary Skill Shortage visa (TSS Visa), subclass 482 over the last months.

What is the 482 employer-sponsored visa?
The TSS 482 visa is the most common long duration temporary work visa for Australia. 
You can apply for the TSS visa if you are sponsored by a company to work in Australia. 
With the 482 visa you can live and work in Australia for a period of up to 2 years for the occupations on the short-term list or 4 years for the occupations on the medium-term list. You can potentially apply for permanent residency after 2 years (186 Visa).
Here's the key changes on the 482 Visa:
Only 1 year work experience required to get the 482 visa from November 2024
From 23 November 2024, the 482 visa will only require 1 year of full-time work experience. This will be half of what is currently required: 2 years full-time.
The employment will still need to be full-time and "in the nominated occupation or a related field".
For some people who were looking at DAMA due to the lower skills requirements, this may now let them go for a medium-term stream or short-term stream 482 visa instead.

New Skills in Demand visa program
As part of the Migration Strategy published 11 December 2023, the Government announced a new visa program: the Skills in Demand visa.

The program will have 3 distinct streams:
Specialist Skills for mostly white-collar workers earning more than $135,000
Core Skills for skills that are in high demand earning at least $73,150
Essential skills for important skilled and semi-skilled roles, including those that may be earning under the $73,150 threshold, such as care jobs

2-year pathway to PR instead of 3 years
Since 25 November 2023, the requirement for the 186 Temporary Residence Transition stream was reduced from 3 years down to 2 years.

If you change employer, the time resets. With the new Skills in Demand visa, the Migration Strategy says it will not reset anymore.

Changes to 482 visa work condition
From 1 July 2024, visa conditions for the 457, 482 and 494 visa have been adjusted to benefit visa holders.
This has increased the amount of time allowed after you cease working for your employer to 180 days. That’s roughly 6 months and is 3 times more than it was before.
Under the new rules, during the 180 days you are allowed to work other jobs to support yourself.

New powers to crack down on worker exploitation
Since 1 July 2024, there have been new criminal and civil penalties brought in for those who make a migrant worker breach a work-related condition or force them to accept an exploitative work situation to meet a work condition.
The Government also made changes to ban employers who exploit migrants from being allowed to employ the in the future, and to be able to publish the names of the employers who are banned.
