Hi Tracy,

The change is only to the 457 visa scheme, not RSMS.

Cheers,

Many thanks for your reply George. Thats what I thought too George, but was worried because the new regulations seem a bit anti truck drivers. We meet all the requirements for the RSMS and have included a submission for exceptional circumstances on the skill level, so see no reason why it will be refused. Have you any idea how long the wait is for onshore RSMS lodges in Melbourne? (we are going to front load meds and police checks).
