Effective from 1 July 2024, the Fair Work High Income Threshold (FWHIT) will increase from $167,500 to $175,000 base salary, excluding superannuation.
Relevance to Australian Immigration and Visas
This will affect current Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS)(subclass 482) visa holders who are over the age limit of 45 interested in applying for Australian permanent residency through the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS)(subclass 186) visa Temporary Residence Transition stream. They may still be eligible to apply by utilising the exemption if they have been earning over the FWHIT and working for their sponsor in Australia for a minimum of two years.
