An Overview on Labour Market Testing Requirements for Australia

Australia is a well developed nation. It needs manpower in its various sectors. When the manpower supply is inadequate from the nation, companies of the country get the freedom to sponsor foreign workers to work and stay in Australia for a certain period. Employers wishing to sponsor workers for a temporary skill shortage or TSS visa needs to comply with the Labour Market Testing conditions before they nominate employees for a position.

LMT needs employers to first search for suitable qualified persons in the country for the position for which they want to nominate persons. It comprises three separate but related applications including nomination, sponsorship, and visa applications.

For most nominations, advertising is necessary. While advertising in Australia, it is necessary to follow a special format-

• It should include the title and description of the position.
•  It should mention the required skills and experience
•  The name of the approved sponsor or the recruitment agency
•  Salary of the following position is necessary to include in the advertisement

·    

Sponsors have to provide LMT proof while requesting for a labour agreement. There is no need of LMT when a Minister of Religion Labour Agreement is filed. LMT is not essential where there is conflict with Australian ITO’s.

If you have any confusion or doubt related to the LMT, contact an agreement writing company like MCKKR's, a leading migration agency in Australia. Such an agency has a team of experienced workers who can guide the necessary steps to follow.
