Subclass 482
Skills In Demand Visa
The Skills in Demand (SID) visa (Subclass 482) is a temporary employer-sponsored visa designed to help Australian businesses fill skilled positions where no suitable local worker is available. It took over from the former Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa in December 2024, keeping the 482 subclass number but introducing updated eligibility rules and occupation lists. The visa is granted for up to four years.
Three Streams

The Core Skills Stream
The Specialist Skills Stream
The Labour Agreement Stream
Key Requirements
To be eligible, applicants need an approved employer sponsor, an occupation that qualifies under the relevant stream, and at least one year of relevant work experience gained within the past five years.
