Click here to register
On Wednesday 16 May, the Perth Chapter Meeting will provide a detailed update on the Temporary Skills Shortage visa and associated changes, including the Skilling Australians Fund Levy and impact on permanent migration pathways.
Our panel (TBC) will then re-examine the impact on business and workforce planning, and consider the changes in the context of broader regional developments affecting talent mobility. The sharing of experiences and practical, strategic recommendations from our sponsors, immigration experts Fragomen, aim to help participants thrive, not just survive, in the new regime.
Points for discussion will include:
- Benefits of accreditation - enhancements by the Department of Home Affairs with the aim to enable faster processing of the TSS visas and nominations;
- The importance of understanding and meeting sponsor obligations within the framework of Department’s increased compliance focus;
- Restrictions on renewals for employees in occupations on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL);
- Impact of Labour Market Testing provisions on Intra Company Transfers and renewals for incumbents;
- How does the Australian regime compare to other developments in the region, with focus on China and Singapore.
Facilitator:
- Hedvika Gibbs, Regional Client Services Manager - Asia Pacific at Fragomen
