What is TSMIT (Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold)?

The TSMIT is the minimum guaranteed annual earnings a worker sponsored by an employer for a Temporary Skilled Shortage (TSS) subclass 482 Visa or a Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (SESR) subclass 494 Visa, can be paid.

All nominations for these visas must evidence offered guaranteed annual earnings of $73,150 or above.

The TSMIT also applies to the Employer Nominated Scheme (ENS) subclass 186 visas.

There are exceptions /concessions that may apply under industry; company specific; or DAMA labour agreements depending on the agreement and specified occupation.

The TSMIT can include a base salary and what are deemed other guaranteed earnings, shift loading being one example.  It can also include certain non-monetary benefits, however any determination as to what strictly constitutes guaranteed annual earnings are ultimately guided by provisions in Australia’s Fair Work legislation.
