MINIMUM SALARY LEVELS AND OCCUPATIONS FOR THE
TEMPORARY BUSINESS LONG STAY VISA
(REGULATION 1.20B, SUBREGULATION 1.20G(2) AND
SUBPARAGRAPH 1.20GA(1)(a)(i))
I, CHRIS EVANS, Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, acting under regulations
1.17 and 1.20B, subregulation 1.20G(2) and subparagraph 1.20GA(1)(a)(i) of the
Migration Regulations 1994 (‘the Regulations’):
1. REVOKE Instrument number IMMI 07/078, signed on 8 October 2007,
specifying minimum salary levels for the purposes of regulation 1.20B and
occupations for the purposes of subregulation 1.20G(2) and subparagraph
1.20GA(1)(a)(i) of the Regulations;
2. SPECIFY each occupation listed in Schedules A and B to this Instrument as an
occupation for the purposes of subregulation 1.20G(2) of the Regulations; AND
3. SPECIFY each occupation listed in Schedules C and D to this Instrument as an
occupation for the purposes of subparagraph 1.20GA(1)(a)(i) of the Regulations;
AND
4. SPECIFY for the purposes of regulation 1.20B that the minimum salary level at a
point in time is to be worked out in the following way and paid on a weekly,
fortnightly or monthly basis:
(A) where the Subclass 457 Business (Long Stay) visa holder works an average of
Umore thanU 38 hours per week in a given period:
minimum salary level = Uapplicable base salary x number of hours worked in the given period U
number of hours in an average year
(B) where the Subclass 457 Business (Long Stay) visa holder works an average of
38 hours per week in a given period or in any other case not covered by (A):
Federal Register of Legislative Instruments F2008L02274
IMMI 08/021
minimum salary level = Uapplicable base salary x number of weeks worked in the given period U
number of weeks in an average year
5. FOR THE PURPOSES of Item 4 of this Instrument:
(a) the number of weeks in an average year (taking into account leap years) is:
52.1775 weeks; and
(b) the number of hours in an average year (taking into account leap years and
based on a 38 hour week) is: 1982.745 hours; and
(c) the applicable base salary is:
− (i) AUD 41,850 for occupations listed in Schedule A;
− (ii) AUD 57,300 for occupations listed in Schedule B;
− (iii)AUD 37,665 for regionally certified occupations listed in Schedule C;
− (iv) AUD 51,570 for regionally certified occupations listed in Schedule D;

which case the applicable base salary is AUD 75,000; and
(d) the amount of salary paid to a person in a given period:
(i) includes the person’s base salary before tax and separate from any
allowances, bonuses, packaged items (other than those mentioned in
(ii)(B)) and the like; and
(ii) excludes any deductions from that amount except:
(A) Pay As You Go (PAYG) taxation; and
(B) Any amount that would be 100% tax deductible (for the person) or
otherwise exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT)P

Illustrative examples
UExample 1U – In this example, the Department is monitoring a private hospital in
Brisbane to check to see whether the hospital paid at least the minimum salary level
last financial year to Susan, a nurse they sponsor on a Subclass 457 visa.
Susan worked 50 hours a week for 52 weeks (2600 total hours) and was paid a weekly
salary of $875 before tax. The total payments for the financial year were $45,500.00
before tax.
Schedule A applies to Susan, as she works in a non-Information and Communication
Technology occupation in a non-regional area. Therefore, the applicable base salary
is $41,850 per year.
As Susan worked an average of more than 38 hours a week, the applicable minimum
salary level for the financial year can be worked out by applying the formula set out
in paragraph 4(A) of this Instrument:
U$41,850 x 2600 hours U= $54,878.46
1982.745
The amount of salary paid to Susan in the given period was $45,500.00, which is less
than the applicable minimum salary level in the circumstances: $54,878.46. The
hospital has therefore breached their undertaking to pay Susan the minimum salary
level.
If Susan had only worked 38 hours a week, the hospital would have been paying
above minimum salary level and therefore would not be in breach of the minimum
salary level undertaking.
U
Federal Register of Legislative Instruments F2008L02274
IMMI 08/021
Example 2U – In this example, a Perth marketing firm wants to check whether they
have met the minimum salary level for the previous fortnight pay period for Rita, a
marketing specialist they sponsor on a Subclass 457 visa. This differs from Example 1
as it considers the impact 100% tax deductible items have in relation to the minimum
salary level.
Rita works 38 hours a week and was paid a fortnightly payment of $1,635 before tax.
Rita’s employer deducted $50 per fortnight because Rita elected to salary package a
mobile phone/PDA to keep track of her many work appointments and to make work
calls. In Rita’s circumstances the mobile phone/PDA is 100% tax deductible.
Rita’s fortnightly before tax salary of $1,635 has only one component using the
definition of amount of salary paid to a person in a given period (at paragraph 5(d)):
– base salary including FBT exempt items: + $1,635
Schedule A applies to Rita, as she works in a non-Information and Communication
Technology occupation in a non-regional area. Therefore, the applicable base salary
is $41,850 per year.
As Rita worked 38 hours per week in the given period, the minimum salary level for
the previous fortnight can be worked out by applying the formula set out in paragraph
4(B) of this Instrument:
U$41,850 x 2 weeks U= $1,604.14
52.1775
As the deduction is 100% tax deductible and does not impact on the amount of salary
paid to Rita in the given period ($1,635), Rita is being paid above the minimum
salary level of $1,604.14.
Had the $50 deduction UnotU been 100% tax deductible or otherwise exempt from
Fringe Benefits Tax, then the amount of salary paid to Rita in the given period would
have been $1,585 ($1,635 - $50 deduction), which is below the minimum salary level
of $1,604.14. If this were the case, Rita’s employer would have breached their
undertaking to pay the minimum salary level. U
The $50 mobile phone/ PDA is included in
this amount as it is FBT exempt.
Federal Register of Legislative Instruments F2008L02274
IMMI 08/021
Example 3U – In this example, a computer company in Melbourne wants to check
whether they have met the minimum salary level for the previous fortnight pay period
for John, a software engineer they sponsor on a Subclass 457 visa. This differs from
the Examples 1 and 2 as it considers the impact allowances and tax deductions in
combination have in relation to the minimum salary level.
John works 38 hours a week and was paid a fortnightly payment of $2,500 before tax
which included Living Away From Home Allowance (LAFHA) of $200. The
business also deducted $500 from John’s before tax salary because he has elected to
salary package a car. In John’s circumstances the car was not 100% tax deductible or
otherwise exempt from FBT.
John’s fortnightly before tax salary of $2,500 has three components using the
definition of amount of salary paid to a person in a given period (at paragraph 5(d)):
– base salary including FBT exempt items: +$2,300
– other allowances: +$200 LAFHA
– non FBT exempt deductions: - $500 salary packaged car
Schedule B applies to John, as he works in an Information and Communication
Technology occupation in a non regional area. Therefore, the applicable base salary
is $57,300 per year.
As John worked 38 hours per week in the given period, the minimum salary level for
the previous fortnight can be worked out by applying the formula set out in paragraph
4(B) of this Instrument:
U$57,300 x 2 weeks U= $2,196.35
52.1775
The business could use the LAFHA ($200) salary component to pay some of the $500
deduction for the car from John’s before tax pay. The $300 balance, would then be
subtracted from the base salary component $2,300 – $300 = $2,000.
This means that John’s actual amount of salary paid to John for the fortnight is
$2,000, which is less than the applicable minimum salary level of $2,196.35. The
business has therefore breached their undertaking to pay John at least the
minimum salary level.
LAHFA and the salary
packaged car cannot be
included in the base salary as
they are defined as allowances
or non-FBT exempt items.

Subclass 457-Business (Long Stay) visa
Information for standard business sponsors
Minimum Salary Levels
The Minimum Salary Level (MSL) is a requirement of immigration law and is separate from requirements under industrial
law. This is an important issue for you, as both requirements must be complied with. The Department of Immigration
and Citizenship will assess the MSL requirement under immigration law and industrial relations authorities will assess
requirements under industrial law.
What this means is that you must pay your sponsored worker the higher of either the MSL or the industrial instrument
(such as an award or collective agreement) that applies to the position in which they are working. The Minister for
Immigration and Citizenship sets the MSL for sponsored workers.
The MSL does not override requirements that you pay workers in accordance with Australian industrial instruments and
conditions of employment. If a relevant industrial instrument requires a higher salary or overtime rate, then you must
pay it. The rate of the MSL varies, depending on the occupational level of your sponsored worker and whether the visa
was approved under a regional concession.
You should also consider the market when negotiating salary rates with your sponsored workers. If you do not pay
in accordance with market rates, your sponsored workers are more likely to apply for employment with, and to be
sponsored by, another employer.
The requirement to pay your sponsored workers at least the MSL relates to Paragraph 1.20CB (1)(i) of the Migration
Regulations 1994, which states that a standard business sponsor must make the following undertaking: “to ensure
that, if there is a gazetted minimum salary in force in relation to the nominated position occupied by a sponsored
person, the person will be paid at least that salary”.
In setting out the MSL that applies under the Subclass 457 program, paragraph 1.20B of the Migration Regulations
1994 states: “[MSL] means a level of salary worked out in the way specified in a Gazette Notice for the purposes of
this definition.”
An important change is occurring on 1 August 2008 in relation to the way the MSL is calculated and applied to
sponsored workers in the Subclass 457 program. This change will affect all existing and future sponsored workers
to whom the MSL applies.
Changes from 1 August 2008
On 1 August 2008, a new Legislative Instrument (Gazette Notice) will be issued, which will increase the MSL by
3.8 per cent. This new instrument will, for the first time, apply not only to new sponsored worker visa applicants, but
to all existing sponsored workers. This will mean that the formula for calculating the MSL will apply to every sponsored
worker who is paid in accordance with an MSL.
The MSL that will apply for new sponsored workers (those granted visas from 1 August) is:
$77 850 where the English language exemption is claimed •
$59 480 for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) workers •
$43 440 for non-ICT workers •
$53 530 for ICT workers under a regional concession •
$39 100 for non-ICT workers under a regional concession •
1
The MSL level for existing sponsored workers already in your employment in Australia, who are paid in accordance
with an MSL, will increase by 3.8 per cent. The following table sets out the impact this will have.

Note:
People granted a Subclass 457 visa as a primary applicant under regional concessions (certified by a Regional •
Certifying Body) prior to July 2006 do not fall within the MSL framework.
If you have an active labour agreement, any MSL increases are subject to the terms of that agreement. •
From 1 August 2008, the MSL in all cases is based on a 38-hour week. This change introduces the 38-hour week •
arrangement to all visa holders who were approved prior to 1 July 2006.
No allowances (such as Living Away From Home Allowance) or bonuses can be included in the MSL. •
No salary-packaged items or deductions are allowed from the MSL, other than: •
Pay As You Go (PAYG) tax withholding amounts; and •
Amounts that are 100 per cent tax deductible for the sponsored worker or otherwise exempt from •
Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT).
Key elements of the formula
The formula for calculating the MSL for every sponsored worker to whom the MSL applies is based on a 38-hour week
and must be paid on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis. In any given week, a sponsored worker cannot be paid for
less than 38 hours. For any hours in excess of 38 that are worked, the sponsored worker must be paid at least the
equivalent hourly rate for every hour. If a relevant industrial instrument requires a higher salary or overtime rate, then
you must pay it.
When determining whether a sponsor is meeting their requirement to pay MSL, the Department looks at the amount
of salary paid to a person separate from any allowances or bonuses. While some salary-packaged items are allowed,
these are limited to items that would be either 100 per cent tax deductible to the sponsored worker, or exempt
from FBT.
Note: Businesses should seek their own professional advice on whether an item is 100 per cent tax deductible or
otherwise exempt from FBT. Further information is available from the Australian Taxation Office
website: Australian Taxation Office Homepage

Further assistance
The following information provides some answers to commonly-asked questions and two illustrative case studies
around MSL. For further information on any aspect of MSL, phone DIAC on 131 881 for connection to your nearest
Subclass 457 monitoring area.
General questions
Can sponsored workers take action if a sponsor is not meeting their undertakings?
Yes. Compliance with the undertakings is a mandatory requirement of the program and visa holders do approach the
Department if they have concerns. Generally, these concerns relate to sponsors not meetings monetary requirements.
Options available to sponsored workers (or their dependants) if sponsors are not meeting their undertakings include:
Approaching the Department of Immigration and Citizenship directly with information about the reason they believe •
the undertakings are not being met. The Department will use this information to assist monitoring of the sponsor
concerned. Experience has shown that these actions often result in monies owed being paid in full.
In cases where the sponsor has not been meeting their undertakings in full, sponsored workers (or their •
dependants) can also take legal action under section 140S of the Migration Act 1958 to recover debts due from
a sponsorship undertaking in a court of competent jurisdiction.
What records do sponsors need to keep?
Employers in Australia are required to keep a range of employment-related records to comply with existing
Commonwealth, State and Territory laws. The Department of Immigration and Citizenship expects that any sponsor
will be able to demonstrate that they are meeting their undertakings through the records they keep.
Where information is available to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship that suggests a sponsor is not
meeting their undertakings, and the sponsor cannot substantiate their claim that they have met the costs, action may
be taken against the sponsor and a sanction imposed. Additionally, by not keeping appropriate records, employers
increase the risk of successful legal action being taken against them by a third party (for example, a visa holder in
relation to salary or State Health department in relation to public health costs) under Section 140S of the
Migration Act 1958.
Does a sponsor need to meet the MSL weekly or on an annual basis?
The legislative instrument specifies that the MSL must be “paid on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis”, based on a
minimum payment equivalent to 38 hours’ work. The hourly rate of MSL must be met for every hour worked in excess
of 38 hours.
The sponsor needs to meet the MSL for every pay period. If the sponsor pays its workforce on a fortnightly basis, then
the MSL must be met for every fortnightly payment.
The Department of Immigration and Citizenship will assess compliance with the MSL at the point in the financial year
that the monitoring is conducted. Generally, the period monitored will be from the start of the current financial year
until the most recent pay period. If monitoring is conducted in the first three months of a financial year, records from
previous financial years may also be audited.

Case study 1:
This case provides an example where there is a temporary disruption to business activity.
An electronics company, Commswhiz Pty Ltd, operates as an authorised service centre for repairing mobile phones.
They are located in a Melbourne suburb.
Due to a sudden flood, the business premises, including workshop, received major water damage. The company
was forced to temporarily close down for major repairs.
The company employs nine administration staff and 14 electronics technicians. One of the senior technicians is a
Subclass 457 visa holder, Mr Torres, of Spain. His visa was granted 11 months ago and is valid for a total of
three years.
What must the sponsor do?
As an approved Subclass 457 sponsor, Commswhiz Pty Ltd must continue to meet the sponsorship undertakings,
including payment of the Minimum Salary Level for the period of the business closure.
What other options are available, particularly if the closure is for longer?
There are other options available to the company, particularly in situations where there is likely to be a lengthy
stand-down of staff. These include:
the company withdrawing sponsorship and informing DIAC. The visa holder would need to find another business •
to sponsor them or leave Australia.
the company temporarily standing down the visa holder and making arrangements for them to depart Australia until •
the business reopens.
Why is the situation different than for Australian workers?
Subclass 457 visa holders are temporary residents in Australia and there are notable differences in their rights:
they cannot access welfare services; and •
they have limited work rights. In order to move to a new employer, they have to apply, and be approved, for a new •
visa before they commence work.
Case study 2:
This case provides an example where a visa holder was approved prior to the introduction of the 38-hour MSL
in July 2006.
Mr Tan had his Subclass 457 visa approved on 22 June 2006, commenced work with his sponsor on 3 July 2006
and is paid on a weekly basis. He was nominated to work 40 hours per week as a welder in May 2006, for which the
MSL of $41 850 applies. For each of the four weeks from 21 July 2008 Mr Tan worked his normal eight hours per day,
Monday to Friday, and for an additional three hours each Saturday.

it's good that migration agents refund you if you fail. But still the lodgement fee is not refundable. So it's the same thing as lodging the application yourself. Who knows the migration agent will run away and disappear with your money . Now, that would be a double disaster.

Let me give you more info why using agents isn't gonna help you at all. Every year IMMI updates their Priority List of the Professions that Australia needs. Each profession has corresponding points in it. Let say if OZ needs more Nurses next year than Electrical Engineers, then the Nursing profession has bigger points than EE profession. If you are an EE and say you lodge your application, spending money for a migration agent is not gonna help you get more points compared to the Nurses. Remember, this is just an example. All the detailed info is at IMMI website. That's why you must READ and UNDERSTAND what is printed at the IMMI website.

There are many more factors that affects your application namely; your age, your work experience, English language, where you want to live in OZ, etc. These things has corresponding points. By just following the IMMI steps/procedure, then you are halfway there.

Hello Sir! I liked your inputs and I am contemplating on moving to Australia myself. May I know if its possible nga muadto ko didto using a tourist visa then look for a job there? Is there a possibility that I would get accepted if Im qualified? If I do get accepted, will the employer shoulder the expenses so i can be given a working visa? Please let me know. Interested man gud ko mu migrate. Im still confused if Australia ko muadto or New Zealand but whichever I choose I was planning on going to those countries through tourist visa first then apply for a job while Im there. Is this feasible?

Your documents will not be rejected for as long as you follow the IMMI procedures and that your documents are not fake. Again READ and UNDERSTAND what is on the IMMI website.

just be careful sis if ur going to either of those countries u mentioned with the working documents with u otherwise the immigration will question u and unfortunately might send u back to philippines.watch BOARDER SECURITY...theres been heaps of filipinos on tourist visas but their main intention is to work here and when theyre caught...theyre flown back to r.p. so u have to be careful for that.the main reason for this is that those tourist visa holders are not paying taxes... (working tax).i dunno.thats what my hubby told me.u cant find a job here if ur not a working visa holder sis..unless if u go into illegal working system which is working without visa but thats too risky.once ur caught...the tendency is u might not be able to work or even visit australia ever anymore.ull be banned. i reckon theres no employer here whose gonna hire u coz they are gonna ask u to show ur working visa too.

[lady_blackrose]

those on tourist visas are not permitted to work here...

Q20: Can I apply for permission to work while in Australia?

If you held a substantive visa at the time of application for another substantive visa, the bridging visa granted to you will normally continue the permission to work conditions of the visa you held. If the visa you held did not permit work (for example, a Tourist/Visitor visa) you will not be entitled under the bridging visa to engage in work.

If you do not have permission to work, or if you only have a restricted permission to work, you may be able to apply for another bridging visa with permission to work.

Q21: Can I have a Working Holiday in Australia?

The Working Holiday Maker Visa (Subclass 417) is targeted for persons between the ages of 18 to 30.

As of 1 May 2002, Australia has reciprocal working holiday agreements with Canada, the Republic of Ireland, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Malta, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Korea, Norway, Finland and Hong Kong (Special Administrative region of the People's Republic of China or British National Overseas passport holders).

There is no provision for nationals of any other country to apply for the Working Holiday Visa, although more countries are likely to be added to the eligible list.

Citizens of Canada, The Republic of Ireland, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland can lodge a Working Holiday Visa application in any country outside Australia. Citizens of Japan, Republic of Korea, Malta, Germany, Hong Kong (Special Administrative region of the People's Republic of China or British National Overseas passport holders) must apply in their home country.

Applicants are expected to have funds of approximately A$5,000 in the form of a current bank statement, traveler's cheques or a letter from the bank confirming available funds. Please note that cash and/or credit cards are not acceptable evidence of funds. In some circumstances, evidence of support from family may be accepted by the Department of Immigration.

The Working Holiday Visa allows a stay of one year from the date of first arrival, but holders of this visa are only able to work for any one employer for up to three months.

When a Working Holiday Visa holder enters Australia (provided it is within 12-months of the grant of the visa), the visa will allow the holder to stay in, leave and re-enter Australia on multiple occasions, during the twelve month period from their first entry to Australia. However, a Working Holiday Visa holder who leaves Australia during the 12-months stay cannot "top up" their visa or recover in any way the time spent outside Australia.

Bai, ang answer sa imong question is in posting #218 above.
I think if you read the Department of Immigration & Citizenship website carefully, tourist visa cannot work in AU.
N.B. there are many types of visa.

What you're planning to do is basically tago2x. All legit employers will ask for Tax File Numbers.
And you cannot get a TFN if you got a tourist visa only.

You can try your luck with tago2x, pero you will be blacklisted.
Thus, your dream of living in AU/NZ is close to nil.
You cannot jump in a queue here is AU. You must follow the right procedure/steps.
Although no one can stop you from jumping the queue. Eventually you will be caught.
