Labour Market Testing (LMT) requirement for 457 Company Sponsorship

Effective from 23 November 2013, labour market testing has become mandatory requirement for most sponsoring businesses in a manner consistent to Australia's international trade obligations.

Similar to RSMS visa schemes, sponsoring businesses are now required to provide explanatory evidence of their attempts to recruit suitably qualified and experienced local employees (citizens or residents) to the nominated position. The evidence should include details of role advertising (paid or unpaid), such as copy of the ad, media and date of advertising, job advertisement fees and any explanatory responses received. In addition, the sponsoring business is also obliged to provide full details of any past retrenchments in all occupations, which have occurred during the past four months leading to the nomination.
