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:

"TSS Immigration assisted me during my subclass 186 application. They made the process very clear from the beginning and succinctly set out the requirements for documents I had to prepare or find. They were able to advise me on upcoming changes to rules that might have affected my application and were prompt in reviewing and submitting the application itself. The agent who worked on my behalf was very responsive to any questions I had and was helpful in any way they could be. Having applied for …"

"Lauren was simply the best! I have worked with previous visa agencies who were more interested in their payment than my future, and TSS Immigration couldn't have been better. Visas can be extremely stressful, and TSS have made every experience seamless and stress free. I really appreciate all the work that they did and couldn't recommend them more."

"We used TSS for all our visa requirements, first a temporary visa, then a bridging visa and eventually our PR visa. I highly rate their professionalism and excellent communication; our visa processes were processed without any delays. They are very knowledgeable in their field; I highly recommend them. A special shout out to Michelle, thank you for all your hard work."

"I am HR Manager for a Construction Company and we engaged TSS to assist with securing Permanent Residency for one of our valued employees. They were very good, smooth process, good communication and helped us with some potentially tricky issues. Thank you Michelle for your professional, knowledgeable service and ensuring that all went well, we are delighted as is our employee. We will no doubt use TSS again should we need visa assistance in the future."

"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."
