Acting Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs, Hon Alan Tudge MP, has released a statement regarding the Coronavirus and Temporary Visa holders on 04 April 2020.
The Government is making a number of changes to temporary visa holder arrangements during the coronavirus crisis in order to protect the health and livelihoods of Australians, support critical industries, and assist with the rapid recovery post the virus.
There are 2.17 million people presently in Australia on a temporary visa.
All were welcomed to Australia on a temporary basis for different reasons including to fill skills shortages; to study as full fee-paying international students; to visit family and friends; or to work and holiday.
They are an important part of our economy and society. For example, there are over 8,000 skilled medical professionals on temporary visas supporting our health system right now.
While citizens, permanent residents and many New Zealanders have access to unconditional work rights and government payments (including the new JobKeeper and JobSeeker payments), temporary visa holders do not.
There has always been an expectation that temporary visa holders are able to support themselves while in Australia. The changes announced today will help facilitate this for those who may be stood down or lose work hours as a result of the coronavirus.
In line with changes being made for Australian citizens and permanent residents, most temporary visa holders with work rights will now be able to access their Australian superannuation to help support themselves during this crisis.
Temporary visa holders who are unable to support themselves under these arrangements over the next six months are strongly encouraged to return home. For these individuals it's time to go home, and they should make arrangements as quickly as possible.
Changes are also geared toward enabling temporary visa holders to remain in key industries, such as health, aged and disability care, agriculture and food processing.
Importantly, they can help boost front line health numbers, get food from farms to our shops and ensure critical services continue.
Temporary visa holders are extremely valuable to the Australian economy and way of life, but the reality is that many Australians will find themselves out of work due to the dual health and economic crisis we're currently facing, and these Australians and permanent residents must be the Government's number one focus.
The following new measures will apply to the major classes of temporary visa holders. The situation will be reviewed periodically and further changes made if required.
Visitor visa holders
There are 203,000 international visitors in Australia, typically on a visa lasting three months or less.
International tourists should return to their home country as quickly as possible, particularly those without family support.
Thousands are already doing this and others should follow their lead.
International students
There are 565,000 international students in Australia, mainly studying in the higher education or vocational education sector. They are an important contributor to our tertiary sector and economy, supporting 240,000 Australian jobs.
Students are encouraged to rely on family support, part-time work where available and their own savings to sustain themselves in Australia. As part of their visa application, international students have had to demonstrate that they can support themselves completely in their first year.
Students who have been here longer than 12 months who find themselves in financial hardship will be able to access their Australian superannuation.
The Government will undertake further engagement with the international education sector who already provide some financial support for international students facing hardship. For example, we understand there are some education providers that are providing fee discounts to international students.
The Government will also be flexible in cases where Coronavirus has prevented international students meeting their visa conditions (such as not being able attend classes).
International students are able to work up to 40 hours per fortnight.
International students working in aged care and as nurses have had these hours extended to support these critical sectors.
International students working in the major supermarkets had also had these hours extended to help get stock on shelves during the high demand. From 1 May, their hours will return to the maximum 40 hours a fortnight as more Australians are being recruited into these roles.
New Zealanders on 444 visas
New Zealanders and Australians have reciprocal arrangements whereby we can each stay and work in each other's country. There are more than 672,000 New Zealanders in Australia on a subclass 444 visa.
New Zealanders who are on 444 visas and arrived before 26 February 2001 will have access to welfare payments and the JobKeeper payment.
444 visa holders who arrived after 2001 have access to the JobKeeper payment. Those who have lived in Australia for 10 years or more have access to JobSeeker payments for six months.
New Zealanders should consider returning to New Zealand if they are unable to support themselves through these provisions, work or family support.
Temporary Skilled visa holders
There are around 139,000 temporary skilled visa holders, on either a 2 year or 4 year visa. They were provided the visa to fill a skills shortage – a shortage that may still be present when the crisis has passed.
Consequently, those visa holders who have been stood down, but not laid off, will maintain their visa validity and businesses will have the opportunity to extend their visa as per normal arrangements. Businesses will also be able to reduce the hours of the visa holder without the person being in breach of their visa condition.
These visa holders will also be able to access up to $10,000 of their superannuation this financial year.
Those visa holders who have been laid off due to coronavirus should leave the country in line with existing visa conditions if they are unable to secure a new sponsor. However, should a 4-year visa holder be re-employed after the coronavirus pandemic, their time already spent in Australia will count towards their permanent residency skilled work experience requirements.
Working holiday makers supporting critical sectors
There are about 118,000 people in Australia on a Working Holiday visa (or backpacker visa) – a visa which provides conditional work rights.
To support the critical sectors of heath, aged and disability care, agriculture and food processing, and childcare, some limited flexibility will be provided.
In particular, working holiday makers who are working in these critical sectors will be exempt from the six month work limitation with the one employer and eligible for a further visa to keep working in these critical sectors if their current visa is due to expire in the next six months.
In general, working holiday makers that do not have the confidence to sustain themselves over the next six months should make arrangements to leave the country.
There are another 185,000 other temporary visa holders in Australia, about half of them temporary graduate visa holders. They will also be able to access their Australian superannuation if needed for support.
Further announcements will be made with the Deputy Prime Minister and Agriculture Minister in relation to supporting the agricultural sector, including the operation of the Seasonal Worker Program and Pacific Labour Scheme.

In an attempt to reduce the congestion in capital cities of Australia, the Department of Home Affairs announced two new skilled regional visas that require skilled workers to live and work in regional Australia for at least three years before being eligible to apply for permanent residency.
The new skilled regional visas which will commence on 16 November 2019 are as follows:
The Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa is for skilled workers who are nominated by a State or Territory government or sponsored by an eligible family member to live and work in Australia. This visa subclass is estimated to have at least 500 eligible occupations. Subclass 491 will replace existing visa Subclass 489 upon commencement.
The Skilled Employer-Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa is for skilled workers who are sponsored by an employer located in regional Australia. This visa subclass is estimated to have almost 700 eligible occupations. Subclass 494 will replace existing visa Subclass 187 upon commencement.
In November 2019, the Department of Home Affairs will be simplifying the definition a Regional Australia. The new definition of Regional Australia will include the entirety of Australia excluding the following areas:

On the 18th of March 2018 the 457 program was abolished and replaced with the TSS 482 program. This resulted in mass confusion on employer sponsored work visas for both employers and applicants alike.
For some time, employers thought they could no longer sponsor foreign workers, and existing 457 visa holders were doubtful of their future employment plans in Australia.
Today, there are still tens of thousands of people who hold a valid 457 visa with the ability to continue working until the expiration date of their 457 visa. Under the old 457 program, transferring employers was common place but there now seems to be confusion on how to transfer old 457 visas under the new TSS 482 program.
Is it even possible?
Step 1: The first thing to check when considering a 457 transfer is to investigate if your occupation is still on the current list of occupations for the purposes for a TSS 482 visa. This can be the same occupation that you are currently nominated for your 457 visa, or an occupation which you are qualified for (ie. have relevant qualifications plus 2 years of experience).
If your occupation is still on the current lists, then you can transfer your 457 visa to a new employer. If your occupation is no longer listed, then unfortunately you cannot transfer your 457 visa.
Step 2: The next thing to check is if your new employer already has an existing Sponsorship Approval (under either the old 457 program or the new TSS 482 program). If they have a valid Sponsorship Approval, then they can go ahead and proceed with step 3 below.
Now, if your new employer does not yet have a Sponsorship Approval, then they must apply to become one under the new TSS 482 program. Then once approved, they can proceed to step 3 below also (which is a TSS 482 Nomination) to execute a transfer for their work visa candidate.
Step 3: The next step is the preparation of a TSS 482 Nomination which will cover transfers of both the old 457 visa and the new TSS 482 visa. There is no need to re-apply for a new TSS 482 visa if your old 457 or current 482 is still valid for a lengthy time.
Old 457 sponsors and 457 visa holders may recall the old 457 Nomination process as a simple process, but don’t be fooled. The new TSS 482 Nomination process has strict legislative requirements that have been re-designed and written with much more specificity than before. It is very easy to make minor mistakes, or unintentionally forget to provide evidence to substantiate your claims, which may lead to a refusal.
So be careful. Things to take into careful consideration include occupation caveats, market rate determination, labour market testing timelines, and the genuine of the position.
Step 4: The final step is the lodgement of the TSS 482 Nomination application. This step is particularly important because there is a significantly different item required at this point, and it is the new Training Levy. To find out about the costs of the new Training Levy, have a read of our Training Levy article here.
The relevant Training Levy fee is payable at the time of lodgement of the Nomination application, and you have to multiply the relevant Training Levy fee by the number of years (including partial years) remaining on your candidate’s 457 visa or 482 visa. For example if there is one and a half years remaining on your candidate’s 457 visa, then you will be required to pay 2 times the Training Levy fee amount relevant to your business turnover.
After your Nomination application has been successfully lodged, you must then liaise with Immigration during the processing period to massage the application towards a successful outcome.
Immigration case officers will liaise with you and potentially have questions about your evidence so they can be satisfied that they understand every aspect of your application in detail. They also have the discretion to request for any additional information or evidence to help them reach a decision for your application. So this is where you can practice your art of liaison.
Please note that you should submit “all” your evidence and documentation at the time of lodgement, because Immigration do have a knack for occasionally refusing an application outright if they feel as though there is insufficient information to even consider your application against the legislative criteria.
So the bottom line is be diligent, be accurate, be co-operative and be careful.
Good luck!
The Skilling Australians Fund (SAF) is a levy imposed upon employers looking to sponsor skilled overseas workers. The purpose of the levy is to enable business sponsors to contribute to the training and skills development of Australians. The SAF levy is applicable to the following visa types:
|
482 Visa |
186 Visa |
187 Visa |
|
| For small business with an annual turnover of less than $10 million |
$1,200.00 per year |
$3,000.00 one-off |
$3,000.00 one-off |
| For other business with an annual turnover above $10 million |
$1,800.00 per year |
$5,000.00 one-off |
$5,000.00 one-off |
For 482 visa nominations, the full amount for the total number of years of the proposed visa period will be due. For example, a 2-year visa will require 2 x the SAF Training Levy and a 4-year visa will require 4 x the SAF Training Levy.
The training levy payment is required upon the time of nomination lodgement. The contribution must be paid in full.
A limit has been also been set for SAF contributions. The capped limit is set at $8,000 for 482 visa nominations and $5,500 for 186 or 187 visa nominations for the 2018 financial year.
The Department will also consider a refund of the SAF levy should any of the following scenarios take place:
The SAF levy commenced on the 12th of August 2018 and only applies to nomination applications lodged on or after the said commencement date.

If you are currently on a 457 visa and you wish to change employer sponsors, you can do it. There is actually no need to apply for a 482 TSS visa as long as there is still enough time left on the validity period of your current 457 visa. Your occupation must also still be in the current occupation list.
Now, the key factor is doing it in a timely manner to ensure that your 457 visa does not get cancelled, because there is either a 90-day period or 60-day period (depending on the date of your 457 visa grant) where you have an opportunity to find a new employer. Otherwise, if you go beyond this “grace” period, your 457 visa can be cancelled.
Here is how to transfer a 457 visa without risking cancellation:
Step 1: Employment Contract Compliance (notice period for termination of employment)
You need to comply with the notice period of your employment contract with your current 457 sponsor (example: 4 weeks notice). Once you and your employer are on the same page with the terms of your resignation, your employer will then notify Immigration that your employment with them has ended.
Step 2: 90 Days / 60 Days To Get A New Sponsor
Once you know the date of your final day of employment, you will have exactly 90 days or 60 days to find a new employer to sponsor and nominate you to continue working in Australia on a 457 visa. If your 457 visa was granted before the 19th of November 2016, you will have 90 days to transfer your 457 visa. If your 457 visa was granted on the 19th of November 2016 and onwards, you will have 60 days.
Step 3: Submit New Sponsorship
Your new employer is required to already have an existing (and valid) approved 457 Business Sponsorship or 482 Business Sponsorship. Otherwise, they will be required to lodge a sponsorship application under the new 482 TSS visa program.
Step 4: Submit New Nomination
Once a 482 Business Sponsorship has been lodged, a new 482 Nomination must also be submitted which is an application to have the vacant position approved to be filled by an existing 457 visa holder. Both the sponsorship and nomination must be submitted within the 90 / 60 day period. Make sure you mark your calendars and plan your transfer carefully to avoid going over the 90 / 60 day period.
Once both the Sponsorship and Nomination have been approved, your 457 visa will continue under your new employer’s business, and they will take over the employer obligations for your time in Australia.
Please note that failure to look for a new employer within 90 / 60 days can result in a possible cancellation of your 457 visa. If you are outside of this period already, then you will definitely need to seek some professional advice to help with your situation.

In line with the implementation of the Temporary Skilled Shortage (subclass 482) visa last 18 March 2018, the Department of Home Affairs has released a list of occupations eligible for nomination.
Occupations under the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) are available to 482 visa applicants under the short-term stream. The short-term stream allows employers to sponsor overseas skilled workers for a maximum of two years.

What is a Partner Visa?
Basically, a Partner Visa enables the partner of an Australian citizen or permanent resident to stay in Australia. There are two categories: Prospective Marriage visa and Partner Visa. These categories differ based on the type of relationship you are in. A Prospective Marriage visa applies to couples intending to get married while the Partner Visa applies to married couples or those in a de facto relationship.
A Partner Visa involves two stages. The first stage entitles you to a Temporary Partner (subclass 820 or 309) visa which allows you to live in Australia. Once you reach two years under the Temporary Partner Visa, you may be eligible to apply for the second stage which is the Permanent Partner Visa (subclass 801 or 100) stage which grants you permanent residency status.
Eligibility Criteria
An applicant for the Prospective Marriage (300) visa must have met, known and intend to marry their prospective spouse. The applicant must also be at least 18 years of age.
An applicant for the Partner Visa must either be married or in a de-facto relationship with an Australian citizen or permanent resident. The marriage must be valid under Australian law. If in a de-facto relationship, the relationship must be proven to be at least 12 months. However, the 12-month requirement may be waived in certain circumstances. For more details, click here.
