Caveats on 457 and 186 Employer Nominated Visas
As of 1 July 2017 changes, caveats apply to 67 occupations for the purposes of the following visa programmes only:
Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457)
Employer Nominated Scheme visa (subclass 186) – Direct Entry Stream.
The DIBP advise that these caveats are designed to ensure that the above visa programmes are used to fill skilled positions that cannot be filled via the local labour market. If you are working in a highly skilled position, you are unlikely to be impacted by these arrangements.
The caveats apply to:
- subclass 186 visa and nomination applications lodged on or after 1 July 2017
and
- subclass 457 visa and nomination applications which:
- are lodged on or after 1 July 2017
- were lodged before 1 July 2017 and have not yet been decided by the DIBP.
