A review of the 457 Temporary work visa program means that skilled overseas workers will now be entitled to the same pay as their Australian counterparts. This change comes into effect on January 2010, and according to the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Chris Evans, it serves two purposes.
"It ensures overseas workers are not brought in more cheaply to undercut Australian workers and their conditions" said Senator Evans.
"Secondly it ensures that Australian workers aren't disadvantaged because overseas workers will now be more expensive and preference will go to Australian workers.
Other changes to the 457 work visa program will enable businesses to gain faster access to overseas skilled workers by speeding up the application process for the 457 sponsored work visa.

WORK VISAS:
457 WORK VISA TO AUSTRALIA
The Subclass 457 visa allows Australian employers to sponsor overseas workers on a temporary basis for a period between 6 months up to 4 years. This temporary visa allows the overseas candidate to potentially seek permanent residence after completing a minimum period of Australian work experience either with the sponsorship of the Australian employer or possibly even via skilled migration.
To qualify to apply for the visa, the Australian company must first obtain sponsorship and nomination approval
