New Occupations Available for Australian 482 Visa and Other Skilled Subclasses

Written By Will Aldous
Wed, Mar 13, 2019

From the 11 of March 2019 dozens of new occupations are available for applicants of the TSS (482) Visa as well as a number of other visa subclasses.

The Department of Home Affairs announced the change to the skilled occupation lists over the weekend of the 11th. This included the addition of 36 occupations to the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), the removal of 27 occupations from the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) and the addition of 18 occupations to the Regional Occupation List (ROL).

These changes will affect the availability of a number of visas for skilled applicants, from the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (TSS Visa) Subclass 482 to the 186 and 187 Permanent Residency visas. Subclasses 189, 190, 407, 485 and 489 are also affected.

This is in line with The Department’s roughly annual review of the skilled occupation lists, designed to ensure the jobs available for sponsorship remain relevant to Australia’s needs.

Changes to the three skilled occupation lists are outlined below:

"(186 residency visa) We cant thank TSS enough for all they have done for us, It was a pretty long process as we had to wait for our baby to be born before we could submit our application but after that the process went very quickly. They are highly professional staff and offer the best customer care. They kept us informed throughout our whole process and if we had any queries they were very prompt in getting back to us. I highly recommend TSS and would highly recommend Lauren Mennie this is the …"

"I had been in contact with TSS Immigration for a year before finally engaging them to work on skilled employee sponsorship applications. They have been very professional throughout, offering helpful advice and speedy service at reasonable prices leading to successful final outcome. Alex was excellent - other migration agents and management I dealt with earlier were also great. Will definitely use them again."

"TSS immigration made a complicated and what could have been very stressful process to one that was a breeze. They honestly made it seem almost effortless. I can't recommend them enough. I will be recommending them to my friends who are also looking to move to Australia in the near future. We would also like to thank the agents who dealt with us thank you to Richard, Tammie and Georgina we are over the moon we get to start our new family life in Australia!"

"Keeping across the legislative changes and when they were coming into effect was becoming seriously time consuming and taking key staff away from their day to day role. After doing our research, we made the decision to utilise TSS to manage the process for us. This has proven to be one of the best decisions we made as an organisation. All the staff are extremely helpful, very knowledgeable and approachable. In the rare instance they can’t answer the query in the first instance, they get back to you in a very short timeframe with the right response. They have certainly saved us and our candidates significant time and energy when it comes to navigating this very complex environment. Thanks to all."
