What labour market testing has to prove

Labour market testing is a statutory requirement under section 140GBA of the Migration Act for most Subclass 482 nominations, and it is not satisfied by having advertised. The delegate has to be able to see that the advertising was compliant in its content, its placement and its timing, that it ran for the required period within the twelve months before lodgement, and that every person who applied was considered against the requirements of the occupation rather than against the nominee.

The second half is where most nominations come unstuck. A list of applicant names proves nothing. What the delegate needs is a reasoned assessment of each applicant - what they claimed, what the position requires, and the specific respect in which they fell short - written so that the conclusion follows from the evidence rather than being asserted at the end of it.

What the report contains

  • Position and occupation analysis, with the duties mapped to the ANZSCO or OSCA unit group the nomination relies on

  • The advertisement text as published, with dated screenshots of each platform

  • Advertising compliance table - platform, dates, duration, content requirements and the salary range as advertised

  • An assessment of every applicant, with their application evidenced by screenshot and their suitability reasoned against the occupation

  • A shortlist table where any applicant warranted further consideration, and why the process ended where it did

  • Redundancy and retrenchment position for the four months before lodgement

  • Any exemption claimed, and the basis for it

  • Conclusion and a findings table against each testing requirement

How we run it

You give us the position, the salary and the platforms. We prepare the advertisement copy so the content requirements are met on the face of the advertisement, and we capture the evidence as the advertising runs rather than reconstructing it afterwards - screenshots are dated at the time they are taken, which is what makes them worth having.

As applications arrive we assess each one and record it. When the advertising period closes the report is already most of the way written, which is why the report is ready as soon as the testing period closes.

Timing

We run the advertising, so the clock is the advertising period the visa requires rather than our drafting time: 28 days of advertising, plus up to five working days for interviews where a candidate meets the criteria.

The report is written as the advertising runs, so it is finished when the testing is. If you have a lodgement date in mind, tell us on the form and we will confirm before you pay whether it can be met. For urgent matters, contact the team before you order.

Labour market testing compliance

These answers decide whether the testing is compliant, and the delegate will ask about each of them.

Has the business made any Australian citizen or permanent resident redundant, or retrenched them, in the same or a similar occupation in the four months before lodgement? *
Are you claiming an exemption from labour market testing (for example an international trade obligation)? *

Common questions

Which platforms do you advertise on?

Workforce Australia and CareerOne as standard, with Seek available as an upgrade. The platform combination is chosen on the order form and sets the price.

How long does advertising have to run?

At least 28 consecutive calendar days on each platform, within the four months before the nomination is lodged, with the position advertised nationally. The report records the dates against that requirement.

What if nobody applies?

That is a result, and a good one for the nomination. The report evidences the advertising, records the nil response and reaches the conclusion the evidence supports.

Do you assess applicants against the nominee?

No. The test is whether a suitably qualified and experienced Australian citizen or permanent resident is available for the position. Each applicant is assessed against the requirements of the occupation.

What about redundancies in the last four months?

If the business has made anyone redundant or retrenched them in the same or a similar occupation in the four months before lodgement, the nomination cannot be approved unless the position is offered to them first. The form asks, and the report addresses it.
