From 18 March 2018 the Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457 visa) is abolished and replaced with the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa. Associated reforms to permanent skilled migration programs are also made from this time (sub classes 186, 187, 189, 190, and 489). These amendments are reflected in our Immigration Publication.
