Have you heard about the Temporary Skill Shortage visa changes? As of 7 December 2024, the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa has officially been replaced by the new Skills in Demand Visa. This change brings updates to occupation lists and visa streams, which could significantly impact workforce planning – especially for our clients in horticulture. With some key horticultural roles removed from the new occupation list, it’s essential to understand the new visa, and explore alternative recruitment strategies to keep your business thriving. From visa stream options to effectively navigating the changes, we’ve broken it all down in our latest blog – head over now to read all about it, then drop us a message if we can support your business with the changes. https://lnkd.in/gxU9EuZv #agritalent #agricareer #agribusiness #australianag #agriculturerecruitment #agjobs #agrecruitment #aghires #agriculture
