Skills in Demand Visa

The three new pathways are called Specialist, Core, and Essential Skills. The Skills in Demand Visa will replace the Temporary Skills Shortage 482 Visa and provide more flexibility to workers and employers.

The new Skills in Demand Visa will provide a fouryear work visa.
Visa holders will have the ability to move between sponsors with 180 days to find a new sponsor.
The time spent with any approved employer will count toward permanent residence requirements. This will avoid the clock resetting with each employer.
All streams will have a clear path to permanent residency in Australia.

Specialist Skills Pathway
This pathway recognises highly skilled migrants are hugely beneficial to Australia's national productivity, including through their support of critical sovereign capabilities and potential to grow the skills and expertise of the Australian workforce. The Specialist Skills Visa will be available to applicants who meet the eligibility criteria.

Criteria:
Being nominated by an approved employer
Meeting health and character requirements
This visa will be available to any occupation except trades workers, machinery operators and drivers, and laborers 
The applicant will need to have earnings of at least AU$ 135,000 a year

The Specialist Skills Visa processing time is expected to be very quick, only 7 days.

Core Skills Pathway
Most temporary skilled migrants will come through the Core Skills pathway. The Core Skills visa is designed to bring skilled employees to Australia and to fill the needs that are available now and, in the future, to ensure we can provide ourselves with the goods and services that are needed for the Australian economy.

Criteria:
Available for a wider range of occupations, including registered nurses, trades, and some machinery operators
Individuals with occupations on the new Core Skills Occupation List
Individuals with a salary at or above the TSMIT, which is currently AU$ 70,000 a year
As soon as the Core Skills Occupation List is available, we will update it here. The Core Skills Visa is likely to have requirements very similar to the current 482 visa. You can check the 482 Occupation List here.

The Core Skills Visa processing time is expected to be approximately 21 days.

Essential Skills Pathway
The government is considering the Essential Skills pathway in the context of the care and support economy, which has become essential to the quality of Australian life. 

Criteria:
It's a pathway for lowerpaid workers with essential skills
This visa might include individuals earning a salary under AU$ 70,000 a year
The Essential Skills pathway is likely to have similarities with the current Labour Agreement visas

Which Skills in Demand visa should I go for?
If you're looking for positions with a salary above AU$ 135,000, then it's going to be the Specialist Skills pathway for most occupations.

The distinction between the Core Skills pathway and the Essential Skills pathway could be defined by the occupation you're going for. For example, professions like aged and disability carers would be categorized under the Essential Skills pathway, while most other healthrelated occupations like registered nurses, would be for the Core Skills pathway.

When will the Skills in Demand visas be implemented? 
The Migration Strategy Action Plan provides the indicative timeframe of late 2024 for implementation.
