Improvement in processing times for TSS (482) visa
One welcome improvement to the new Temporary Skill Shortage
(TSS) (subclass 482) visa program is the processing time, which has improved
significantly.
Applications for the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS)
(subclass 482) visa program are being processed much quicker than the previous
Temporary Work (Skilled) (subclass 457) visa applications were. As of August
2018, 75% of the applications lodged were processed within:
• 57 days
for the short-term stream,
• 55 days
for the medium term stream and
• 28 days
for the labor market agreements.
Applications are processed based on priority, with
applications from accredited sponsors given the highest priority, followed by
regional applications and then labor market agreement applications. However,
the Department of Home Affairs does intend on reviewing the priority processing
arrangements in the coming months.
