Roberta2 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 +Lobbying by universities, big business and medical research sectors has prompted Immigration Minister Peter Dutton to relax restrictions on this year's controversial 457 visa changes. In the first shake-up of the eligible occupation lists following April reforms, some occupations like real estate agents and psychotherapists have been excluded entirely, while others including petroleum engineers and horse trainers have been shifted into the scheme. In announcing the second set of major changes in less than three months, Mr Dutton described the occupation lists as "dynamic". "Revisions to the occupation lists are just one element of the Government's reforms strengthening the integrity of Australia's employer sponsored skilled migration programmes and raising the productivity of skilled migrants," he said. He also highlighted changes that mean even high-salaried applicants require English language testing and police checks are now mandatory. The overhaul to the scheme, announced in April, split the old 457 visa into two streams - short and medium-long term - based on skills shortages in the community. However a backlash followed the reforms when it became apparent that people in occupations on the short-term list, including chief executives and university lecturers, no longer had access to a pathway to permanent residency.+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
