From 1 July 2025, skilled visa income thresholds will rise by 4.6%, in line with annual wage growth (AWOTE).
Income thresholds are indexed annually so wages for skilled migrants increase at the same rate as Australian workers. This ensures that people cannot use skilled migration to undercut Australian workers.
From 1 July 2025, indexation changes will be as follows:
Income Threshold | Increased | Impacted Subclasses |
The Core Skills Income Threshold (CSIT) | From $73,150 to $76,515 | Core Skills stream of SC 482 and SC 186 |
Specialist Skills Income Threshold (SSIT) | From $135,000 to $141,210 | Specialist Skills stream of SC 482 |
Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT) | From $73,150 to 76,515 | SC 494 and SC 187 |
New nominations from 1 July 2025 must meet the new threshold or market salary rate, whichever is higher.
Existing visa holders and nominations lodged before 1 July 2025 are not affected.
