Proposed 457 Occupation List Changes

The recent scrunity on the Subclass 457 visa  does not seem to showing any signs of slowing with recent comments by Minister for Immigration, Peter Dutton, suggesting that the list of jobs eligible to be sponsored under the visa may soon be reduced. Currently, employers looking to sponsor skilled foreign workers are limited to those occupations on the Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List with certain occupations also requiring that the employers demonstrate 'labour market testing' (i.e advertising locally) before being eligible to nominate a foreign worker for the 457 visa. 

When or what these changes will be to the list remains to be seen, however once again, the Subclass 457 visa seems to be at the forefront of political debate accross the country.
