Changes to Labour Market Testing for Work Visas

Legislation passed 8 December 2023 amends Labour Market Testing for work visas to reduce the compliance burden faced by employers regarding LMT advertising:

1. Removing the requirement for an employer to advertise a position on the Workforce Australia website;

2. Employers only required to post 2 adverts;

3. Clarifying how the duration of advertising is determined, especially concerning overlapping adverts.

Exemptions to LMT under international trade obligations remain.

We’re excited for our employer clients who sponsor employees in skilled positions.
