The Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) has released the details of the Labour Market Testing (LMT) requirements which will apply to certain nominations made for a Subclass 457 visa from 23 November 2013.
The detailed policy lists occupations for which LMT will be required as well as setting out the exemptions that will apply based on Australia's international trade obligations.
Employers wishing to nominate applicants for a Subclass 457 visa will need to demonstrate evidence of having conducted LMT if a particular occupation is not specifically exempted and if an exemption is not otherwise available based on Australia's international trade obligations.
All professional and managerial occupations with the exception of nursing and engineering roles have been exempted from LMT requirements. By contrast, evidence of LMT will need to be provided for all trade occupations and most associate professional roles unless otherwise exempt as noted above.
