Pathway overview
A temporary visa letting an employer sponsor a suitably skilled worker for a position they can't fill locally.
Verified directly from Home Affairs: you must be nominated for a skilled position by an approved sponsor, have the right skills for the job, and meet the relevant English language requirement (no specific score is published on this summary page, so it isn't checked by this tool). Formerly the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa — same subclass number, renamed. Core Skills stream cost: from AUD 4,015, stay up to 4 years (5 for Hong Kong passport holders), as published at time of research.
