In today’s video update, we’ll be navigating the Changing Landscape of Australia’s Employer-Sponsored Visas.
Proposed Changes: Making Employer-Sponsored Visas More Beneficial
Australia is proposing significant changes to make employer-sponsored visas more favorable for applicants.
Flexibility in Employer Selection
Applicants who switch employers will no longer lose their accrued visa eligibility period, which will be cumulative regardless of the employer. This reduces exploitation and allows a fair pathway to permanent residency.

Extended Transition Period
The transition period for applicants to find a new employer has been extended from 60 to 180 days, with uninterrupted work rights, ensuring applicants have ample time to secure new sponsorship.

Outdated occupations no longer in demand will be removed to align with current market needs. - Discussion List
Industry feedback will shape which occupations stay or go, ensuring responsiveness to economic trends.
