The Australian government has updated the occupations lists for a range of temporary and permanent skilled visas, with the new lists effective from 1 July 2017.
The revised 457 visa occupations list has over 200 occupations ranging from health to ICT occupations and engineering to management occupations.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton in a press release stated, this ‘update will ensure the lists continue to reflect genuine skill needs in the labour market.
As part of its reforms to skilled migration announced in April, the Government will update the lists on a six monthly basis to ensure the best outcomes for Australian workers and employers alike.
MANDATORY CRIMINAL CHECKS INTRODUCED
All visa applicants are now required to undergo mandatory criminal checks as part of their application.
EXEMPTION TO ENGLISH TEST REMOVED
The exemption to English language testing for subclass 457 visa applicants whose salary is over $96,400 has been removed, with the exception of employees transferring between a foreign parent company to an Australian arm of the company.
NEW ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT
The table below indicates the English language requirements needed for 457 visa.
| English test | Minimum band score | Minimum scores for English test components | |||
| Listening | Reading | Speaking | Writing | ||
| IELTS test | Overall band score 5.0 | 4.5 | 4.5 | 4.5 | 4.5 |
| OET | - | B | B | B | B |
| TOEFL iBT | Total band score 36 | 3 | 3 | 12 | 12 |
| PTE | Overall band score 36 | 30 | 30 | 30 | 30 |
| CAE | Overall band score 154 | 147 | 147 | 147 | 147 |
MAXIMUM AGE REQUIREMENT LOWERED & ENGLISH TEST TIGHTENED
From 1 July 2017, all permanent skilled visas will have tightened English language and lower maximum age requirements.
Additional measures will also be introduced to improve the integrity of permanent employer sponsored visas, including removal of some exemptions to mandatory skills and English language testing.
Full implementation of the Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) visa will be complete by March 2018. The TSS visa will include increased English language requirements, stricter labour market testing and a test to ensure employers are not discriminating against Australian workers.
From March next year, employers nominating a worker for a TSS visa will be required to pay a contribution to the Skilling Australians Fund to support additional education and training for Australian workers. Employers must continue to show they are making every effort to employ and train Australians in their businesses.
457 REVISED LIST
This revised list will be effective from 1st July 2017.
The revised list is in two parts. The Medium and Long‑term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and the Short‑term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL).
As of 1 July 2017, the main changes to these lists are summarised below:
- 12 occupations have been completely removed from the lists;
- a number of occupations have been added to the lists for certain visa programmes;
- some additional occupations have moved between the STSOL to the MLTSSL;
- the caveats on some occupations have been revised;
- caveats on occupations now apply to both the Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457) and the Employer Nominated Scheme (subclass 186) – Direct Entry Stream.

NEW VISA PRICES
All the Australian visas will be more expensive from 1 July this year.
Treasurer Scott Morrison, in his budget speech, announced that visa fees will be indexed in line with inflation to generate $410 million over the next four years.
This means, from 1 July 2017, the fee for all the visas will rise in line with the forecast Consumer Price Index and become more expensive.
Visa fees will be indexed annually and rounded off to the nearest $5.
The indexation only applies to the 1st instalment of the visa application fee for both primary and secondary applicants. Indexation does not apply to the second instalment of the visa fee.
The student visa fee for the primary applicant will rise $10 and cost $560 instead of $550. An adult dependent applicant will have to fork out $420 after 1 July 2017, up from $410.
Visas under the Employer Nomination and the Regional Sponsored Migration Schemes will cost $70 more at $3670, instead of $3,600.
Partner visa fee is also rising from $6,865 to $7,000.
