Because of this government announcement, those holding Temporary Skill Shortage Visa Subclass 482 will have easier access to permanent residency.
Registered Migration Agent Em Tanag
"In 2017, when the government changed from 457 to 482, many working visa holders lost their pathway to PR, especially those whose occupations were not on the Medium and Long Term Strategic Skills List."

"What happened then was that only those with occupations on the Medium and Long Term Strategic Skills List had a pathway to PR, and not everyone on the short-term list and regional areas had a pathway to PR."

"With these changes in the law, it seems like the government is reverting to the situation prior to the 2017 changes. So now, it's irrelevant whether your occupation is in the Medium and Long-term, Short-term, or regional – all of them have a pathway to Permanent Residency through the 186 Transitional Stream, as long as their occupation is on the ANZSCO list."
