Labour Market Testing (LMT)
What is Labour Market Testing (LMT)?
Labour Market Testing (LMT) is a critical legal requirement for Australian employers seeking to sponsor overseas workers on employer-sponsored visas like the 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa and the 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa. LMT ensures that employers genuinely attempt to hire Australian citizens or permanent residents before nominating a foreign worker.
Why is LMT Report is Important?
A Labour Market Testing (LMT) report is crucial because it demonstrates to the Australian Department of Home Affairs that the employer has made genuine efforts to hire local Australian workers before sponsoring an overseas worker on employer-sponsored visas like the 482 Temporary Skill Shortage or 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visas.
Key reasons why the LMT report is important:
- Employers genuinely attempt to hire from Australia’s talent pool
- Fairness and transparency are maintained in recruitment.
- Applications align with Australian immigration policy
Benefits of a Strong LMT Report:
