A Labour Agreement stream also continues for employers with an agreement negotiated directly with the Department of Home Affairs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Specialist Skills stream is the one worth knowing about even if it looks out of reach, because of what it removes. Clear that salary and <strong>the occupation list stops mattering<\/strong>. For senior engineers, IT specialists and finance professionals that is frequently a shorter path than arguing about whether a job title maps to an ANZSCO code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most readers will be in <strong>Core Skills<\/strong>, and that means the Core Skills Occupation List decides eligibility. It holds 456 occupations and it is the first thing to check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_salary_rule_that_catches_people\"><\/span><strong>The salary rule that catches people<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The threshold in the table is not the number you have to be paid. It is the <strong>floor<\/strong>. Your salary must meet the Core Skills Income Threshold <strong>and<\/strong> the <strong>Annual Market Salary Rate<\/strong> for that role in that location, <strong>whichever is higher<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Annual Market Salary Rate is what an Australian doing the same job in the same place would be paid. So an offer of AUD 80,000 clears the national threshold and fails the nomination if the market rate for that role in Sydney is AUD 95,000. The threshold is a national minimum; the market rate is local and specific, and it is the one that usually binds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you accept anything, ask the employer for the occupation code and the market rate they are nominating against. It is the same check that decides UK applications, where the going rate for the occupation overrides the headline figure in exactly the same way: <a href=\"https:\/\/shortagejobs.com\/blog\/the-uk-skilled-worker-visa-how-to-apply\/\">the UK Skilled Worker route<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_costs\"><\/span><strong>What it costs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Australia has the highest visa charges in the developed world for this kind of route, and the structure surprises people:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>AUD 4,015<\/strong> for the primary applicant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AUD 4,015 again for each secondary applicant aged 18 or over.<\/strong> Not a reduced rate, the same rate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>AUD 1,005<\/strong> for each applicant under 18.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The employer separately carries nomination costs and the skills levy, which is the item that makes some employers decline to sponsor at all.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A couple therefore pays over <strong>AUD 8,000<\/strong> in application charges before anything else, and that figure rose from AUD 3,210 per applicant.
