BORDER CLOSURES AND EMPLOYER SPONSORED VISAS -
CN120 The impact of closed borders on the local labour market, visa options for critical sectors, the PMSOL and travel exemptions. - Employers of all sizes and types from small cafes to large celebrity chefs-run restaurants, from sole trader tradies to large construction companies have been struggling to fill job vacancies - research and data shows there aren't enough people to fill skilled jobs or low-skilled ones either - we don't have a skilled worker problem in Australia, we have a worker problem in general: not enough people to fill vacancies - 2 major events have made this worse: the abolition of the 457 visa in 2017 and border closures in March 2020: - The abolition of the 457 visa brought about the restriction to pathways to PR for some professionals, which has caused some workers to leave Australia or choose to work elsewhere, making us less competitive. The introduction of SAF may also have made it difficult for employers to sponsor - Border closures in March 2022: no international students or backpackers entering the country since then Research shows how this was felt and the impact on some industries - What are some solutions for employers? - Recruiting from offshore: Subclass 400 or 482 with travel exemptions under PMSOL - Recruiting from onshore: still many students and backpackers onshore - Sponsor on to 482 to 494 - 186 Direct Entry - recruiting from offshore - permanent visa therefore not subject to border closures - DAMAs in some areas - Recruiting semi-skilled workers onshore: 407 Training Visa - Pacific labour scheme and the new Agriculture visa - Prepare for borders opening soon - More structured and robust offshore recruiting then - pre-assessment of health and character Presented by Erica Carneiro - Registered Migration Agent |
