Aumento del umbral de ingresos para la migración temporal cualificada (TSMIT)

On the 01 July 2026, the Department of Home Affairs announced that they will be increasing the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold, known as TSMIT, to $79,423 from the previous amount of $76,515.

El TSMIT es el importe mínimo que debe pagarse a los trabajadores temporales mientras sean titulares de uno de los siguientes visados patrocinados por la empresa:

• Visado para 482 competencias demandadas
• El visado del 186 Employer Nomination Scheme
• Visado regional 494 (provisional) patrocinado por una empresa

Es importante señalar que, si bien el TSMIT establece el salario mínimo (excluida la jubilación) que debe pagarse a los trabajadores cualificados patrocinados por la empresa, el salario también debe calcularse de acuerdo con la Tasa Salarial Anual de Mercado (TMSR) de un trabajador australiano equivalente.

Cómo afectará el aumento a los patrocinadores

Sponsors who are already employing workers under these visas will not be affected by these changes. The nominations for those positions would have been lodged prior to the changes coming into effect on 01 July 2026.

These changes will mainly impact employers who are looking to sponsor workers and will be lodging their nominations past this date. Where the Annual Market Salary Rate (AMSR) for the nominated position would be lower than the new amount of $79,423, it may be necessary for employers to try and lodge their nominations prior to the date the changes will apply.

As most nominations will require a 28-day advertising period, known as Labour Market Testing (LMT), employers should seek to post the LMT ads on or before 01 June 2026 in order to be able to lodge nominations at the previous TSMIT. As the LMT advertisements will need to mirror the proposed salary for the position, any advertisements posted from 01 July 2026 should be in line with the new TSMIT of $79,423.

Cómo podemos ayudarle

Sponsors who are looking to employ workers in positions that would have an AMSR less than the new TSMIT will need to act quickly to get nominations prepared and lodged before 01 July 2026. This means that it is crucial to ensure that all of the criteria have been met and all required documentation and evidence is collected and prepared as soon as possible.

It is also worth noting that nominations for these visas can be valid for a period of up to 12 months, so it may be possible to lodge nominations in advance where the AMSR rate would be lower than $79,423, with the visa applications to be lodged closer to the applicant’s current visa expiry. As such, we can assist sponsors in managing these applications now to lock in the lower salary rate prior to the changes coming into effect.
