Important Update: Salary Threshold (CSIT & SSIT) to Increase by 1 July 2025

As part of the ongoing adjustment to Australia’s skilled migration framework, significant changes to salary threshold, Core Skills Income Threshold (CSIT) and Specialist Skills Income Threshold (SSIT) have been announced and set to take effect on 1 July 2025. This is important for employers who are planning to sponsor their employees under the Skills in Demand Visa (SID) (Subclass 482) and Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) (Subclass 186) visa.

What are the Changes for Salary Threshold?

This adjustment ensures that skilled workers are paid competitive salaries that align with market standards. You can read the article here on employee workplace rights and entitlement.

The Core Skills Income Threshold (CSIT) previously known as the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT), will increase to AUD 76,515 from AUD 73,150.
The Specialist Skills Income Threshold (SSIT), similarly, will increase to AUD 141,210 from AUD 135,000 in the next financial year by 1 July 2025.

Applications lodged before 30 June 2025 will be assessed under the current CSIT and SSIT. This gives employers a window of opportunity to secure nominations under the current salary threshold before the increases take effect.
