The Temporary Skill Shortage Visa

As an employer there may be times when you need overseas skilled workers to fill positions that are unable to be filled by local workers. The temporary skill shortage visa (TSS) is designed to assist employers who experience labour shortages from time to time within their business. Only certain occupations are nominated for the TSS visa and are based on current labour and demand trends.

The temporary skills shortage visa has four streams. These are:

  • The short-term stream
  • The medium-term stream
  • The labour agreement stream
  • The subsequent entrant stream


Each of these streams allows applicants to stay in Australia for varying amounts of time.

Thank you for being professional, very helpful and knowledgeable in your field of expertise. The world needs more agents like Lina, you deserve a million stars! Definitely using VSA in the future. Thank you.
