Under the new TSS system, if you are changing occupation, you will need a nomination and a new visa application.

Thanks Raul! Much appreciate it.

Well the new change doesn't very good. Also, on further research I learned that you could only make changes to your TSS twice. Quite a bit of hassle now.

For sure its like applying again old one is of no use, was on a 457 for 3 years from 2011 to 2013 inclusive

Thanks, Can you please elaborate what do you mean by "old one is of no use"?

Also,  is changing employer on a different occupation (ICT Business Analyst to Management Consultant) straightforward?

Hi folks,

please accept my upfront apologies if this is a repeat request, I couldn't find anything similar to my situation from any of the recent posts. 

Situation:

I am currently employed as an ICT Business Analyst with a large firm on a 457 that was issued in August 2016. For number of reasons, I am looking to change jobs, and the new offer is for a Management Consultant role with a different firm. 

My question is, can my new employer simply transfer the sponsorship of my existing 457 on a different occupation? If yes, will this entail submitting a new nomination?

Many thanks in advance!
