Join us for an insightful event featuring Mark Wright (National Lead Partner for Immigration, KPMG), who will be speaking on the recent immigration changes in Australia. 

In December 2024, the Australian Government introduced the new temporary Skills in Demand (SID) visa, which replaced the existing Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa. The SID visa has three streams: Specialist Skills, Core Skills, and Labour Agreement. 

The Specialist Skills stream is intended for applicants in most ANZSCO occupations with a Specialist Skills Income Threshold (SSIT) of AUD135,000 or more. The Core Skills stream caters to applicants with a base annual salary of at least AUD73,150, replacing the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT). The SID visa aims to streamline the visa process and make it easier for skilled workers to migrate to Australia1.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about these pivotal changes and how they may impact prospective migrants, businesses, and Australian residents.
