Rupert Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I thought the more stringent requirements came in months ago. Yes, you should expect it applies to you, why wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your reply everything except labour market testing was introduced months ago......LMT starts later this month. Might not apply to me according to whether they do this on applications already lodged or only do it on brand new ones cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Senise Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 It looks like labour market testing will be introduced fromthe 23rd of November. Not much detail available yet and no ideal if it will be retrospectively applied to already lodged applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I gather it also applies only to some qualification/skill levels - and essentially does not apply to occupations which require qualifications at diploma or above (ie. if its a graduate level occupation, its not subject to LMT). So it depends what the OP is actually coming over to do. The flaw in all of this is that for many of the occupations filled by 457s, the labour markets are international - so skilled people from many countries work in other countries, and the flows are two-way (in my industry, I imagine there are many Aussies working in the UK, as well as poms working over here, for example). I imagine, rather bluntly, that its this issue that the 'diploma plus' exemption is trying to achieve. But even many skilled trades, which LMT will affect, also have these sorts of international labour markets, so its all a bit crude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, why would it be any different. There might be an Australian or a permanent resident who can do the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the LMT will apply. It's also important to note it's a time of application requirement for the nomination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how you came to that interpretation. There's a stated exemption there for a Citizen of a WTO country that has been working for the sponsoring business in Australia for at least 2 years. Does that apply to you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are frankly reading something that is not there. It does not mention any exemption for people living in Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in that case, according to that particular page on the DIBP the nomination would be exempt: "The worker you nominate is a citizen of a WTO member country and has worked for you on a full-time basis in Australia for the last 2 years" I can't confirm the accuracy of that page though or whether there is other stipulations within that particular exemption.
