2013年2月23日，移民部长公布了新的457签证政策变动。<br />
<br />
On Saturday, Immigration Minister Brendan O'Connor announced the visa program would be tightened to protect the interests of Australian workers.Advertisement <br />
<br />
He said that the growth in visa numbers had outstripped skills shortages and natural employment growth, leading to discrimination against local workers and lower wages.<br />
''Australians deserve the chance to get local jobs on local projects and the Government is determined to make that happen,'' Mr O'Connor said.<br />
<br />
The changes, to be announced today by Mr O'Connor, include:<br />
EXTRA investigation powers for inspectors to get information from bosses they suspect of being dodgy.<br />
A NEW test to prove jobs were for "genuine" skills shortages because some employers were creating positions that were really "unskilled and possibly not even a real job".<br />
CLOSING loopholes that allow foreign workers to be paid less than an Australian citizen by increasing from $180,000 to $250,000 the threshold at which they must pay "market rates".<br />
STOPPING employers creating their own market to manipulate pay rates.<br />
RAISING requirements for foreign workers to speak English.<br />
RESTRICTING foreign workers being on-hired to a different employer in regions where there are not skill shortages.<br />
CHECKING that employers offer training for locals to fill skills shortages before they seek foreigners.<br />

非常感谢楼主开贴帮大家解决签证方面的问题。我跟我老公正在做186的准备，对于时间上有些疑问。我们现在所持的457签证今年10月31日到期，请问在递交了186申请后还能拿457在10月31日前出境么？然后我老公的工作合同是到10月底续签两年，我们不太清楚是不是需要在续签之前就必须拿到签证。请问如果10月底拿不到，是不是就不再满足签证的雇佣两年条件？最后一个关于过桥签证的问题，如果有计划在申请期间出境，是不是要在递交186申请的同时申请Bridging visa B 呢，拿到这个B类过桥签大概要多长时间? 谢谢解答！
6C111
The spouse or de facto partner of the applicant (the primary applicant):
(a) is an applicant for the same subclass of visa as the primary applicant; and
(b) is not an Australian permanent resident or an Australian citizen; and
(c) is under 50 at the time of application; and
5
(d) has nominated a skilled occupation in his or her application, being an occupation that was specified in the same version of the instrument made by the Minister under paragraph 1.15I(1)(a) as was used when the primary applicant made his or her application; and
(e) has been assessed by the relevant assessing authority for the nominated skilled occupation as having suitable skills for the occupation; and
(f) has competent English; and
(g) either:
(i) has met the Australian study requirement:
(A) in the period of 6 months ending immediately before the day the application was made; and
(B) in circumstances in which each degree, diploma or trade qualification used to satisfy the requirement is closely related to the applicant’s nominated skilled occupation; or
(ii) at the time of application, has been employed in a skilled occupation for a period totalling at least 12 months in the 24 months immediately before that day
Under the Part 6C.11 Partner skill factor, points are awarded if the main applicant’s partner (that is, spouse (s5F) or de facto partner (s5CB)) meets the threshold requirements for a GSM visa.
Importantly these points are available only if the partner is also a visa applicant and is not an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
Under item 6C111, at the time of application the main applicant’s partner must:
• have been under 50 years old
• have nominated a skilled occupation, on the same version of the SOL as the main applicant and
• either:
• have been employed in a skilled occupation for at least 12 of the last 24 months or
• have met the Australian study requirement in the last 6 months on the basis of qualifications closely related to their nominated skilled occupation.
At time of points assessment, the partner must also:
• have a suitable skills assessment in their nominated occupation from a relevant assessing authority and
• demonstrate that they have at least competent English proficiency.
希望以上信息可以帮助你理解配偶加分的要求.

(B) in circumstances in which each degree, diploma or trade qualification used to satisfy the requirement is closely related to the applicant’s nominated skilled occupation; or
perth地区RCB申请的checklist已经正式公布，但online application facility is still to be upgraded.
从申请要求方面来讲，最大的变化有两个。
1. 雇主在申请RCB之前必须有在当地报纸或者网站刊登招聘广告的记录。Perth对招聘广告这方面的要求经历了需要，不需要到重新需要的一个轮回，RCB对这项要求的执行是否严格还有待观察。
2.经营时间不满6个月的新生意将不能通过RCB审核。之前，成立不满六个月的生意可以通过其他一些办法来满足申请条件，但新政策明确disqualify了经营不满6个月的生意。然而，什么样的生意才算经营超过低于6个月，移民局对这个问题的定义比较模糊，也就留下了相应的一些操作空间。但毫无疑问，新成立的生意申请偏远地区雇主担保的难度变大了。
今天和大家谈一下RCB审批的内容。2012年7月1日之前，Both RCB and DIAC have to be satisfied that all the criteria of the Reg 5.19 are met .Essential,DIAC are asessing the same criteria a second time after RCB asessment.
7月1日后，RCB would only asesse the following three criteria.
1. There is a genuine need for a paid employee in the employer’s business for the nominated position.
2. The position cannot be filled by an Australian citizen or permanent resident who is living in the same local area as the nominated position.
3. The terms and conditions of employment are the same as those that would be offered to an Australian citizen or permanent resident who is performing the same tasks in the same location.
DIAC would consider the abovementioned three criteria met if the application has been certified by RCB.DIAC would only asesse the nomination criteria that are not yet asessed by RCB.
