Immigration Alert : 457 visas - MSL increase and employer sponsorship tightening

IMMIGRATION ALERT: 457 visas – MSL INCREASE AND EMPLOYER SPONSORSHIP TIGHTENING

 

For information we attach today's Media Release on 457 temporary work visas.

 

The MSL increase is to take effect on 1 August 2008, with stronger sponsorship obligation and compliance legislation due later in the year.

 

Also foreshadowed is a DIAC and DEEWR joint agency to consider labour agreement proposals.

 

These developments have been foreseen in recent InterStaff client briefings, and we have established a specialist sponsorship monitoring service for employers in anticipation.

 

For enquiries about that service: email enquiry@interstaff.com – Attention Legal
