The Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) allows Australian employers to sponsor overseas workers to fill genuine skills gaps in their business for up to four years.

LifeinAus assists both employers and employees through the full 482 process, from standard business sponsorship approval and occupation nomination, through to the individual visa application.

The TSS visa has three streams: Short-term, Medium-term, and Labour Agreement, each with different eligible occupation lists and pathway-to-permanency options.

Our MARA-registered agents handle every compliance requirement including market salary rate evidence, skills assessments, health and character checks, and Department of Home Affairs lodgement.
