Overview of the Legislative Instrument
This legislative instrument will decrease the salary level exemption that requires approved sponsors in the 457 programme to demonstrate that the nominated salary of a visa holder is the market rate for that occupation. The exemption will be amended from AUD250,000 to AUD180,000, which will have the effect of meaning that any application for nomination of an overseas worker with a salary above AUD180,000 will not have to provide market salary rate evidence.
The purpose of this amendment is to remove red-tape for businesses that are employing highly paid and highly skilled overseas employees, in positions which cannot be filled by the local labour force.
