On 1 July 2023, the Australian Fair Work High Income Threshold (FWHIT) increased from $162,000 to $167,500.
Why is this relevant to Australian visa applications?
For applicants holding a Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS)(subclass 482) visa who are over the age of 45, whilst they are generally not entitled to apply for Australian permanent residency through the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) (subclass 186) visa, an exemption applies to subclass 482 visa holders earning over the FWHIT for a minimum of three years.
For employers, wishing to nominate workers for Australian permanent residency, please feel free to contact Hartman Immigration at info@hartmanimmigration.com.au.
