π’ Migration Update: Training Visa Program
According to the Department of Home Affairs:
βAustralian Border Force officers from the Department of Home Affairs have launched a national operation targeting the Training Visa program.β
βThe operation is focused on employers using fraudulent training programs and other arrangements to undermine the visa system and exploit migrant workers.β
βThe Subclass 407 Training visa is for structured workplace-based training and professional development, not for ongoing employment.β
βAll workers in Australia are entitled to fair treatment, regardless of visa status.β

π’ Migration Update: Subclass 482 Salary Threshold Increase
From 1 July 2026, the minimum income thresholds for new Subclass 482 Skills in Demand visa nominations are increasing.
For the Core Skills stream, the relevant threshold is called the Core Skills Income Threshold (CSIT):
β
Current CSIT: AUD $76,515
β‘οΈ Increasing to AUD $79,499 from 1 July 2026
For the Specialist Skills stream, the relevant threshold is called the Specialist Skills Income Threshold (SSIT):
β
Current SSIT: AUD $141,210
β‘οΈ Increasing to AUD $146,717 from 1 July 2026
This change applies to new nomination applications lodged on or after 1 July 2026. Existing visa holders and nominations lodged before this date are not expected to be affected by this increase.
Employers must also continue to meet the Annual Market Salary Rate requirement, meaning the offered salary must generally meet the higher of the relevant income threshold or the market salary for the nominated role.
If you are planning a 482 visa nomination or considering an employer-sponsored visa pathway, this is an important time to review your options.
