Migration Newsflash: Reduced timeframe for 457 visa holders after cessation

The Department of Immigration and Border Protection has announced a reduction in the timeframe primary 457 visa holders can remain in Australia following cessation of employment.

ae0177ba21fa3f526fadec3b5f08e384
This change is scheduled to come into effect from 19 November 2016 subject to final approval by the Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia.

Amendment to visa condition 8107

The change will be effected through the amendment of visa condition 8107 attached to newly granted primary Subclass 457 visas.

Under the revised visa condition 8107, all primary 457 visa holders who are granted their visas on or after 19 November 2016 will have 60 days to depart Australia or apply to remain upon the cessation of employment with their sponsoring employer. This has been reduced from the 90 days afforded to existing primary 457 visa holders.

What does this mean for business?

The change clearly effects your visa holders granted a 457 visa on or after 19 November 2016, so businesses may need to review current internal policies or communications if a reference is made to the 90-day timeframe.

All sponsorship obligations of approved Standard Business Sponsors under the 457 visa program, such as the requirement to notify the immigration department of a cessation of employment within 28 days of their last day of employment, will remain unchanged.

Visa subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) and OSHC 13/06/2022 | 3693 Views

Visa subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) and OSHC

If you hold a valid Student visa at the time you apply for the Subclass 485 visa, you will already be covered under an Overseas Student Health Cover policy as a condition of your Student visa requirement. Your existing OSHC is considered acceptable health insurance at the time you lodge your 485 visa application and you should submit evidence of this with your visa application.

I trust Allianz Care since it is one of the largest insurance companies in Australia, with the medical centres where I only have to pay for what is left from insurance support. (no need to claim later). Besides, those centres are located at the centre of the city, close to schools. Very convenient, right? Credits to Allianz Care for providing reliable medical centres for health check and treatments.

I’ve been living with homestay family for 2 years. I’m now 19, I can move out but I don’t want to leave my host, who has become my family. It feels like I’ve met my second family. Thanks OSHCstudents for sending me to this homestay!

I realised how important insurance was when I started living in Australia. There I switched to using Allianz Care instead of the previous service. Allianz Care is extraordinarily good in its consulting service and customer care. I’ve learned a lot about Australian health care, also I was consulted with mental issues and how to live a healthy lifestyle. I am very happy now.

Having lived in Australia for 2 years, I’ve been reliant on AHM OSHC to pay for my health care, which supports me for other expenses. Last year, I sent my claim requests for several times and always received the claims within two days. Everything is easy, fast and simple.

Thanks to Allianz Care, every time I claimed my medical receipts it processed much more quickly and easily than I expected. I was initially a bit concerned since Allianz Care is more expensive than other insurance companies, but now I can ensure that it is totally worth the money.

My homestay was very comfortable and convenient. My host was really kind. He showed me where to shop, which buses to catch, where the nearest train station is, to get off at which station so that I wouldn’t be taken to another suburb. Travelling was easy since the place was close to public transports. It only took 30 minutes to get to my college, actually I could go anywhere easily!

When told that I was going to live with an Italian family, I was pretty nervous and doubted whether or not they could speak English well as the local people? Yet it was no longer a problem when I saw them. They knew the problems of people who first came to Australia and always tried to help me. I learned so many things about both Australian and Italian culture and enjoyed tasty Italian meals every time. Awesome!
