I am advised by the minister of the proposed settings, which I'll go through. The period of labour market testing is a minimum of 21 calendar days. The date of labour market testing is six months before lodgement, four months since redundancies. The number of advertisements is at least two. The method of advertising could take a number of formats, but should consist of at least two of the following: a national recruitment website, such as jobactive.gov.au; recruitment agencies; internal advertising, for intracompany transfers; business website or social media, of accredited sponsors; and national print media or radio. The required information in the advertisement is position title and description; salary, which is waived if the salary is higher than the high-income threshold; and company and recruitment agency—company name need not be disclosed if using a recruitment agency. Advertising language requirements are English; any other language is optional. The evidence requirements are copy of advertisements or equivalent evidence. The exemptions are: where a new nomination is required for an existing visa holder because of a change in business structure or pay; where labour market testing is not appropriate due to the nature of the position, such as sporting athletes, top talent chefs, eminent academics; and where an international trade obligation applies. That's the advice I have to hand.
