Skills in Demand Visa
The Migration Strategy, released in December 2023, introduced the Skills in Demand Visa. There are three new types of temporary work visas focusing on clear pathways to Australian permanent residency and aiming to alleviate labor shortages. 
The three new pathways are called Specialist Skills, Core Skills, and Essential Skills. The Skills in Demand Visa will replace the Temporary Skills Shortage 482 Visa and provide more flexibility to workers and employers.
Key features for all three visas include:
 
The new Skills in Demand Visa will provide a four-year work visa.
Visa holders will have the ability to move between sponsors with 180 days to find a new sponsor.
The time spent with any approved employer will count toward permanent residence requirements. This will avoid the clock resetting with each employer.
All streams (Specialist Skills, Core Skills, and Essential Skills) will have a clear path to permanent residency in Australia.
There will be a public register of sponsors to assist individuals in finding a new sponsor.
Specialist Skills Pathway
This pathway recognises highly skilled migrants are hugely beneficial to Australia's national productivity, including through their support of critical sovereign capabilities and potential to grow the skills and expertise of the Australian workforce. 
The Specialist Skills Visa will be available to applicants who meet the eligibility criteria, such as being nominated by an approved employer and meeting health and character requirements. In addition to this, it will be available to any occupation except trades workers, machinery operators and drivers, and laborers. 
The applicant will need to have earnings of at least AU$ 135,000 a year.
The Specialist Skills Visa processing time for the Specialist Skills pathway is expected to be very quick, only 7 days.
Core Skills Pathway
Most temporary skilled migrants will come through the Core Skills pathway. The Core Skills visa is designed to bring skilled employees to Australia and to fill the needs that are available now and, in the future, to ensure we can provide ourselves with the goods and services that are needed for the Australian economy.
The Core Skills pathway would be available for a wider range of occupations, including registered nurses, trades, and some machinery operators. 
The general eligibility criteria include individuals with occupations on the new Core Skills Occupation List, and individuals with a salary at or above the TSMIT, which is currently AU$ 70,000 a year. As soon as the Core Skills Occupation List is available, we will update it here. The Core Skills Visa is likely to have requirements very similar to the current 482 visa. You can check the 482 Occupation List here.
The Core Skills Visa processing time is expected to be approximately 21 days.
Essential Skills Pathway
It's a pathway for lower-paid workers with essential skills and might include those earning a salary under AU$ 70,000 a year. 
The Essential Skills pathway is likely to have similarities with the current Labour Agreement visas.
When will the Skills in Demand visas be implemented? 
The Migration Strategy Action Plan provides the indicative timeframe of late 2024 for implementation.
