The occupations that were not on the medium term list, that have just gained access to applying directly for PR include: enrolled nurse, marketing specialist, child care worker, cook and many others caning apply.

The Employer Nomination Scheme Subclass 186 visa is a permanent residency visa in Australia that allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia. The Direct Entry stream is a pathway for applicants who meet the necessary skills, qualifications, and work experience requirements. The 186 Visa Direct Entry is designed for skilled workers who: Are nominated by an eligible Australian employer. Have an occupation on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL). Meet specific work experience, skills assessment, and English language requirements. I will talk about all those requirements in detail in this video. The 186 direct entry allows successful applicants to live and work in Australia permanently, access Medicare, and sponsor eligible family members. To qualify for the 186 visa Direct Entry stream, applicants must meet the following criteria: 1. Nomination by an Australian Employer You must have a valid nomination from an Australian employer who: Is actively operating in Australia. Is willing to sponsor you for a permanent role on the Core Skills Occupation List. The employer must demonstrate that the position is genuine, full-time, and meets the salary threshold that is currently AUD $73,150. 2. Occupation on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) Your occupation must appear on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL), which includes 456 occupations across various sectors. Here are some examples of occupations on the core skills list: finance manager, hotel or motel manager, civil engineer, video producer, accountant and many other occupations. 3.

We recently had a PR 186 Transition Stream granted for a Diesel Motor Mechanic, several 482 visas granted, 494 DAMAs granted for Sommelier and Horticulture Grower, a Workplace Justice Visa granted, a citizenship invitation, an invitation for the 491 visa for a Marketing Specialist with 105 points, and an AAT win for a 482 visa. Australian Federal Election in 2025 The federal election will happen this year in Australia. What could it change in relation to migration? Federal elections are important because the Federal Government has the immigration powers and grants visas. Some media are reporting on the possibility of an April 2025 Federal Election. The current Labour Government announced the Migration Strategy in December 2023, which includes a number of reforms. Some reforms are still pending, such as changes to the points for the 189, 190, and 491 visas. If the Labour government wins, you could expect these reforms to continue. On the other hand, if the Peter Dutton-led Liberal Party were to win power, there are promises to cut Australian migration numbers. 186 Direct Entry Visa Updates The new Core Skills List (CSOL) now includes 456 occupations, which gives access to the Direct Entry 186 visa – a straight pathway to PR. Federal Circuit Court Findings: AAT Bias Case The Federal Circuit Court recently found that there was apprehended bias by an AAT member against an Indian student. The case is: Jaggi v Minister for Immigration, Citizenship and Multicultural Affairs [2024] FedCFamC2G 1267. Occupation of Child Care Workers - Visa Updates The ACECQA is the skills-assessing authority for the Child Care Worker occupation and will be providing skills assessments for the full occupation, not just room leaders as previously. 407 Training Visa Grant and Refusal Rate We requested this data from the Department of Home Affairs, through a Freedom of Information request, and here are the latest figures: In the 2023-24 financial year, 7,563 407 Training Visas were lodged. Of these, 4,026 have already been processed, with 92% granted and only 8% refused. Workplace Justice Visa Updates We recently had our first Workplace Justice Visa granted in just one month. The Workplace Justice Visa subclass 408 is a new visa introduced in 2024 to protect migrant workers who have experienced exploitation in their workplace. New National Innovation Visa To apply for the National Innovation Visa, you must put in an Expression of Interest and be invited by the Australian government. There are 4,000 places for the National Innovation Visa in this financial year. Minister of Religion Labour Agreement (MoRLA) Updates The Department of Home Affairs is streamlining the MoRLA to provide faster pathways to permanent residence.

The launch of the Skills in Demand Visa, replacing the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa. The reduction from 2 years to 1 year of full-time experience to apply for a 482 visa. The introduction of the Core Skills Occupation List. 456 occupations, such as childcare worker, enrolled nurse, content creator and cook, now eligible for the 186 Direct Entry Visa. Updates on state nominations for the 190 and 491 visas and much more. In this blog, we’ll break down all these changes to help you understand what’s happening and explore your visa options. The New National Innovation Visa The new National Innovation Visa (NIV) replaced the Global Talent Visa on 6 December 2024, while retaining the same subclass 858. The National Innovation Visa is a direct path to permanent residency for top-of-field candidates, such as global researchers, entrepreneurs, innovative investors, athletes, and creatives. New Skills in Demand Visa The new Skills in Demand Visa (SID) was implemented on 7 December 2024, replacing the TSS 482 visa, but maintaining the same subclass 482. The new Skills in Demand Visa (subclass 482) is an employer-sponsored visa with three different streams: the Specialist Skills, Core Skills and Labour Agreement streams. Core Skills Occupation List The Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL), with its 456 occupations, will apply to the Core Skills stream of the new Skills in Demand Visa. Additionally, the CSOL will be used for the Direct Entry stream of the permanent Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) Visa. 186 Direct Entry for All Occupations on the Core Skills Occupation List The new Core Skills Occupation List will now give access to the Direct Entry 186 visa for all occupations on the list. What Changed with Employer-Sponsored Visas? Access to Direct Entry 186 for PR for all CSOL occupations. This will decrease applicants' interest in the Skills in Demand (SID) 482 visa. 482 visa holders can bring their experience to the next sponsor without resetting the clock. 482 visa work experience is now reduced to one year in the last five years for the SID 482 visa. Specialist Skills stream applies to applicants in any ANZSCO occupation with a specialist skills income threshold of $135,000 or more.

On November 1st, 2024, the Australian Government announced that the National Innovation Visa (NIV) will replace the Global Talent Visa but keep the Subclass 858 label. The new visa will be called the National Innovation Visa Subclass 858 and will open soon. What is the Global Talent Visa Australia? The Global Talent Visa (Subclass 858) is a streamlined visa program for highly skilled professionals to move to Australia. The Global Talent visa application process is simpler, faster and more affordable than many other Australian visas, so naturally this makes it very popular. There is no age limit or points testing and it grants immediate Permanent Residency. If you meet the criteria for this visa, please make an appointment to speak with us today - we would love to help you on your visa journey. There are 2 pathways under the Global Talent Visa Australia: The Global Talent visa pathway - an opportunity for highly skilled people in the target sectors The Distinguished Talent pathway - a pathway for exceptional and outstanding individuals who do not fit into any Global Talent sector. Some examples are as Olympic athletes and famous musicians. Generally speaking, the Global Talent Visa pathway is easier to attain than the Distinguished Talent. We will explore all angles of your personal situation and advise which visa and which pathway is right for you.

It provides: From 29 November 2024, the Expression of Interest (EOI) process for the Global Talent Visa has closed for new expressions. This closure is said to be in anticipation of the opening of the new National Innovation Visa (NIV). There is no date yet for when the National Innovation Visa will be opened. What happens to expressions of interest (EOIs) that are already in the system? EOIs will continue to be considered by the Department of Home Affairs. If you have submitted an EOI for the Global Talent Visa, you’re still in with a chance of getting an invitation. What about those who have an EOI for the Global Talent Visa but have not received an invitation yet? The Department of Home Affairs has stated: "If you have submitted an EOI for the Global Talent Visa and have not received a response from us, you can still apply for a Global Talent Visa before we introduce the NIV. You should ensure that you meet the exceptional thresholds and standard requirements for the visa program." When will the new National Innovation Visa be opened? Unfortunately, the Department of Home Affairs has not provided a date for the opening of the new National Innovation Visa. However, last month, the Queensland government announced plans to be involved in the process of nominations for the new National Innovation Visa. This indicates ongoing discussions at both the departmental level and with state governments regarding the launch of the new visa. The announcement says: "You can also lodge a new EOI for the NIV when it becomes available. We will share more information about the NIV before we launch the program." What are the main differences between the Global Talent Visa and the National Innovation Visa? The biggest difference seems to be that with the National Innovation Visa, all potential applicants will have to go through the Expression of Interest process. This is very similar to the EOI process for a General Skilled Migration application. With the current Global Talent Visa, you can apply directly without needing an invitation, and your application will be considered based on the visa requirements. However, you will still need a nomination if you’re applying directly. Is the Department of Home Affairs still processing Global Talent Visas? Yes. The Department of Home Affairs says: “We will continue to process applications in accordance with annual migration planning levels and processing priorities for Skilled Visas. This includes assessing applications for priority processing in line with Ministerial Direction No. 89.” What are the Criteria for the National Innovation Visa? The new National Innovation Visa will provide opportunities for exceptional talent from diverse backgrounds, including: Global researchers and thought leaders (e.g., those published in leading journals, with high levels of publications and citations, and recipients of top-of-field awards) Entrepreneurs, both established and emerging, with lessons taken from successful state and territory-led initiatives Innovative investors focusing on the quality of investment, not just meeting simple thresholds Athletes and creatives, particularly those who represent Australia internationally Copyright Work Visa Lawyers Pty Ltd 2024 </video> <video> Global Talent Visa closure and National Innovation Visa opening soon Description: ➡️ Full Article here: https://www.workvisalawyers.com.au/news/all/global-talent-visa-eoi-closed-with-national-innovation-visa-opening-soon.html ➡️ Book an appointment: https://www.workvisalawyers.com.au/arrange-an-appointment.html ➡️ Content: 00:00 Global Talent and National Innovation Visa Updates December 2024 00:48 What about those who have an EOI for the Global Talent Visa but have not received an invitation yet? 01:14 When will the new National Innovation Visa be opened? 02:08 What are the main differences between the Global Talent Visa and the National Innovation Visa? 02:48 Is the Department of Home Affairs still processing Global Talent Visas? 03:12 Can I still lodge a Global Talent Visa? 04:17 What are the Criteria for the National Innovation Visa? 05:04 Will I be eligible for the new National Innovation Visa? ➡️ RELEVANT ARTICLES New National Innovation Visa https://www.workvisalawyers.com.au/services/national-innovation-visa.html Global Talent Visa https://www.workvisalawyers.com.au/services/global-talent-distinguished-talent-visas/global-talent-independent-visa.html ➡️ INFO We hope you found the video helpful!

The announcement states: "If you have submitted an EOI for the Global Talent Visa and have not received a response from us, you can still apply for a Global Talent Visa before we introduce the NIV. You should ensure that you meet the exceptional thresholds and standard requirements for the visa program." Should you apply for both Global Talent Visa and National Innovation Visa? The recent announcement includes the following: “You can also lodge a new EOI for the NIV when it becomes available.” The main advantage of the current Global Talent Visa is that you can apply directly without having received an invitation to the Expression of Interest process. What are the Criteria for the National Innovation Visa? The new National Innovation Visa will provide opportunities for exceptional talent from diverse backgrounds, including: Global researchers and thought leaders (e.g., those published in leading journals, with high levels of publications and citations, and recipients of top-of-field awards) Entrepreneurs, both established and emerging, with lessons taken from successful state and territory-led initiatives Innovative investors focusing on the quality of investment, not just meeting simple thresholds Athletes and creatives, particularly those who represent Australia internationally Copyright Work Visa Lawyers Pty Ltd 2024 </video> <video> 🎉 Get PR Faster EN, Cook...!

The CSOL will apply to the Core Skills stream of the new Skills in Demand visa, which will replace the Temporary Skill Shortage (subclass 482) visa on December 7, 2024. Additionally, the CSOL will be used for the Direct Entry stream of the permanent Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) visa. The Skills in Demand Visa (SID Visa) will retain the same subclass as the 482 Visa, remaining as the Skills in Demand Visa Subclass 482. The Core Skills Visa also appears to have similar requirements to the TSS 482 visa, with more information to be announced soon by the Department of Home Affairs. Some occupations, such as Café or Restaurant Manager, Real Estate Representative, Graphic Designer, Chiropractor, and Gardener (General), were excluded from the official Core Skills Occupation List released on December 3rd. Meanwhile, Child Care Worker, Beauty Therapist, Retail Manager and Tour Guide are some of the occupations now included on the Core Skills Occupation List.

Some of the Criteria has changed but it has maintained the same subclass of 858 and it still is a direct application straight to Australia Permanent Residency. The NIV places a greater emphasis on achievements and awards and for some candidates allows for the state to nominate, which is a new feature. There are also four levels of priorities and two tier of priority sectors. The NIV has maintained flexibility, such as not having a high salary as pre-requisite, but being a desirable characteristic. The flexibility will allow the Australian Government to invite the best candidates across a range of professions and sectors. What is the New National Innovation Visa? The National Innovation Visa (subclass 858) is a permanent visa designed for exceptionally talented individuals from around the world. The National Innovation Visa is aimed at both established and emerging leaders with exceptional skills and talents who can make meaningful contributions to Australia's future prosperity. This includes: • Global researchers • Entrepreneurs • Innovative investors • And Athletes and creatives National Innovation Visa Requirements To apply for the new National Innovation Visa the applicant must: • Have an internationally recognised record of exceptional and outstanding achievement • Receive a nomination • Have a nominator • Be any age, however, if the applicant is under 18 years old, or are 55 years or older when you apply, you must be of exceptional benefit to the Australian community • Have at least Functional English or be willing to pay a second instalment English fee • Meet the health and character requirement One important thing to mention is that it is not mandatory to have a salary equal to or above the income threshold, which is currently $175,000. Additionally, the Department of Home Affairs will assess the EOI application by analysing whether the applicant is at an international ‘top-of-field’ level. National Innovation Visa Priorities The Department of Home affairs announced there are four levels of priorities for the National innovation visa which are: Priority number 1: Exceptional candidates from any sector who are global experts and recipients of international ‘top of field’ level awards. Priority number 2: Candidates from any sector nominated on the approved Form 1000 by an expert Australian Commonwealth, State or Territory Government agency. Priority number 3: Candidates with exceptional and outstanding achievements in a Tier One sector: • Critical Technologies • Health Industries • Renewables and low emission technologies Priority number 4: Candidates with exceptional and outstanding achievements in a Tier Two sector: • Agri-food and AgTech • Defence Capabilities and Space • Education • Financial Services and FinTech • Infrastructure and Transport • Resources The National Innovation Visa offers a direct pathway to Australian Permanent Residency for exceptional individuals in their respective fields. With flexible criteria, it recognizes a range of achievements, sectors, high salaries, and even state sponsorship for innovative investment.

For advice on your personal circumstances, please make an appointment at Work Visa Lawyers: https://www.workvisalawyers.com.au/arrange-an-appointment.html 189 Invitation Round November 2024 The Department of Home Affairs has released the list of occupations invited in the November 189 Invitation Round. This was a significant round, with 15,000 EOIs invited across many occupations, ranging from 65 to 115 points. In this blog post, we will discuss the key occupations invited, the points required for eligibility, and how this round compares to the two previous rounds in 2024. What is the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189)? The 189 Visa is a Permanent Residency visa in Australia. This visa is a points-based system, where applicants must meet specific criteria, including work experience, English proficiency, and educational qualifications. The 189 Invitation Round is a key component of this process, where the Australian government invites applicants who have lodged their Expression of Interest (EOI) to apply for the visa. Invitations are based on the applicant’s points score, with higher scores leading to a better chance of receiving an invitation. The November 2024 189 Invitation Round In the November 2024 189 Invitation Round, a total of 15,000 EOIs were invited. The round invited a range of occupations with varying points thresholds, with skilled workers from several industries benefiting from the opportunity to apply for the 189 Visa. Occupations Invited in the November 2024 Round Bricklayer, Cabinetmaker, Carpenter, Electrician, Painter, and Plumber: Invited with a minimum of 65 points. Architect, Construction Project Manager, Early Childhood Teacher, Midwife, Social Worker, and Registered Nurses: Invited with a minimum of 70 points. Educational Psychologist, Pathologist, Metal Fabricator and General Practitioner: Invited with a minimum of 75 points. Civil Engineers, External Auditors, and Motor Mechanics: Invited with a minimum of 85 points. Accountants, ICT Business Analysts, and Diesel Motor Mechanics: Invited with a minimum of 95 points. Comparison to the 2024 Invitation Rounds This November 2024 invitation round follows two earlier rounds that took place in June 189 Invitation Round and September 189 Invitation Round 2024. The first round in June invited approximately 5,292 EOIs, while the September round saw 7,973 invitations. Interestingly, the migration planning level for 2024-2025 indicates that the government planned to grant 16,900 visas for the Skilled Independent visa. However, more invitations have already been issued, with 7,973 invitations in September and 15,000 in November, totalling 22,973 invitations this financial year. One key trend in 2024 has been the higher number of invitations for skilled trades in the building sector with many occupations being invited with minimum of 65 points. Will there be more 189 invitation rounds this financial year? There is a possibility of additional 189 invitation rounds in the coming months, as the Australian government continues to prioritize skilled migration to address critical workforce shortages. However, given the high number of invitations already issued, there may not be further rounds. Despite this, we remain hopeful that additional invitations will be extended during this financial year. If you are not receiving an 189 visa invitation, you should also consider other visa options, such as employer-sponsored visas (186 visa, 482 visa, 494 visa), DAMA, or a Partner Visa if you have an Australian partner.

For advice on your personal circumstances, please make an appointment at Work Visa Lawyers: https://www.workvisalawyers.com.au/arrange-an-appointment.html Worst Courses to study in Australia for Permanent Residency When considering pathways to permanent residency in Australia, it's essential to be aware that certain courses of study may provide very low to no chance of PR. If you are still considering studying in Australia, here are some courses that are generally viewed as less favorable for obtaining permanent residency: 5. Arts Degree or Performing Arts The arts degrees generally by themselves do not lead to an occupation on the list. If they do lead to an occupation, it may be after extra study, such as doing a Masters to become a psychologist. But I must say, if you have a passion to be a writer or history lecturer, then just follow your passion. But it probably won’t get you an Australian Skilled Visa. 4. Diploma in Travel and Tourism Management Similar to the other courses mentioned, this diploma may not offer viable pathways to permanent residency since the course is not included on the occupation lists. 3. Child Care Studying child care can be quite challenging, as it generally only leads to permanent residency through the 494 Employer Sponsored Visa or the DAMA. This means you cannot apply for the skilled visas 190 or 491 since the occupation is not on the occupations list. However, if you are a Child Care Manager, your chances increase since this occupation is on the list and provides more options for permanent residency. 2. Commerce (Accounting) Commerce is most usually studied with a view to the occupation of Accountant. Accountants generally need at least Bachelor degree level qualification and very high points to be able to be invited for a GSM visa. There has been an oversupply of accounting graduates, which has led to the points requirements getting higher and higher for GSM visas. To be invited for the 189 on 5 September 2024 the points requirement for accountant was 95. To get such high points will need things like superior English scores and doing a professional year and or a NATTI accredited language. So it is very difficult to get the points to get a points based visa for Accountant. 1. Business Management Diplomas and MBA Diploma level courses as Business Management, Diploma of Business, Diploma in Leadership and Management, or Graduate Diploma in Management Learning do not typically contribute to gaining permanent residency. This is because they do not provide a path to a positive skills assessment, due to most business related occupations on the skilled occupation lists requiring a degree. These business courses are often more affordable, leading many to enroll simply to extend their time in Australia. However, this can be problematic, as you may be investing time in a course that won’t assist you in your migration efforts. What about if you are already in one of these courses? If you are in a course with low prospects for migration, you need to be careful and get some advice before doing anything dramatic. If you simply stop studying, you may get your visa cancelled. Changing course may be an option, but you need to have a strong alternative course with a better path. You need to understand how long the alternative will take. You can only change after completing six months of your original course. Copyright Work Visa Lawyers Pty Ltd 2024 </video> <video> Is your occupation on the Core Skills Occupation List?
