What Is Labour Market Testing (LMT)?

Labour Market Testing is a mandatory step for sponsoring overseas workers under various skilled visa subclasses in Australia. It proves that the employer has made genuine efforts to hire local talent before nominating a foreign worker.

LMT is governed by the Migration Regulation LIN 18/036 and LIN 22/064, which outline how and where jobs must be advertised, and what evidence must be provided.

Employers must complete LMT before lodging a nomination for:

• Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa – Subclass 482

• Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) – Subclass 187

• Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) – Subclass 494

• Labour Agreement streams

• Global Talent Employer Sponsored (GTES) program
