Temporary Skill Shortage Visa - Medium Term Stream
(Subclass 482)
This visa enables employers to address labour shortages by bringing in skilled workers where employers can't source an appropriately skilled Australian worker.
You must:
- be nominated to work in an occupation on the list of eligible medium and long-term skilled occupations
- have at least 2 years relevant work experience in your nominated occupation or a related field
- have a relevant skills assessment if this is required for your occupation
- work only for your sponsor or associated entity, unless you are exempt
- meet minimum standards of English language proficiency unless you are exempt from needing to show this
You can:
- work in Australia for up to 4 years
- study (you won't receive government assistance)
- travel to and from Australia as many times as you want while the visa is valid
Include your family:
You can include other family members (called 'secondary applicants') in your visa application. The family members you can add will depend on whether you currently hold a subclass 457 or TSS visa.
Apply from:
You can be in or outside Australia when you apply for the visa and when we decide on your application, but not in immigration clearance.
If you are applying in Australia, you must hold:
- a substantive visa, or
- a Bridging visa A, Bridging visa B or Bridging visa C
