A temporary work visa (Subclass 482) doesn’t allow job changes like the Employer Nomination Scheme visa (Subclass 186). Since Subclass 482 is temporary, like 186, the DHA has strict rules and regulations over foreigners terminating their employment contract. Therefore, quitting the job may not be easy if you wish to maintain your visa validity.
The 482 visa applicants must demonstrate the required English language skills. IELTS is a famous English test worldwide, and an overall test score of 5.0 with a score of a minimum of 4.5 in each Writing, Reading, Listening, and Speaking can be enough to qualify. The standard score is 6 in each factor. DM Consultants offers FREE IELTS preparatory sessions to help you increase your band score.
