Australia has recently announced an increase in the minimum salary that employers are required to pay temporary foreign workers under the nation's 457 visa scheme. The increase is part of a number of reforms to the system designed to "improve the integrity of the program", according to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship.
According to Immigration Minister Chris Evans, minimum salary levels for 457 visa holders have been frozen for two years, and previous salary increases have only applied to new entrants. This latest increase will apply to all 457 visa holders, including those already in Australia.
