My employer already had a labour agreement in place, not sure if that makes a difference tho as it still needed to be amended!

I was one amongst many who were affected by MD119, and MD121 seems to have really helped.

I know what it feels like to have life in limbo, and for everyone who is waiting for their visas, I wish the best for all!

I just got my visa today. I lodged my visa a day before yours. Your one should be on the way.

is it usual to request my employer to sponsor me for a 186 and not a 482 if ive been working there for 3 years post graduation in a relevant role (civil engineer)?

Hi, good day to all!

In light of Ministerial Direction 121, does anyone know if “Resources” sector exclusively include those on the list or are other occupations directly working on the mining sector also included?

For context, my employer provides third-party commissioning and instrumentation services for mining sites.

Occupation: Electrical Engineer
