Hi everyone today in this video let's talk about all those huge changes that were announced before
and will be implemented from 1st of July 2023 in this video I would request you to watch this video
till the end because there's plenty of important information in this video so with that any further
Ado let's get started number one post study work visa from 1st of July 2023 International higher
education graduates with eligible qualification will be granted an extra two years of post-study
work visa let's now talk about this in little more detail the government has identified that
there are few areas of skill shortage here in this country to address this issue they are introducing
an extension or an additional to your post-study work visa for those graduates who are from the
selected degrees this extension will give those eligible International higher education graduates
an extension of two years on their sub class 485 Visa this is also in addition to the existing one
or two years of post study work visa for eligible students who are studying living and working in
Regional areas I've gone ahead and checked for the eligible occupations there is there is a potential
list but there's not a complete list that I could find I'm going to leave all the sources
down in the description box that way you can go ahead and identify if there's any list that has
come up number two visa fee increase during the federal budget announcement on 9th of May
2023 they have announced that the visa fee will be increased now this includes student visa fee
visitor visa fee and also working holiday visa fee so from 1st of July 2023 the student visa
fee will be increased to 715 dollars as of now it is about 650 dollars and if you are someone who's
residing here in Australia and are planning to bring in your parents or relatives and you
are looking to drop a visitor Visa now from 1st of July the rates will go up to 190 dollars but
um all of this time that is before first of July it was about 150 number three national minimum
wage according to fair works commission they have announced that the national minimum wage will be
increased from 1st of July 2023 so the increase is 23.23 dollar per hour or it is 882 dollars per
week this is said to be about 5.75 increase in wages and I believe one of the reasons why the
national minimum wage is being increased is because of the inflation that's currently in
Australia the basic amenities are costing so much I think and this is one of the best ways in how
they can ensure that everyone's receiving eligible pay so that they can maintain a right balance so
if you are an international student and if your employer is is not paying in alignment with the
national minimum wage please ensure that they are making such payments and do not take any
cash payments because that's at the end of the day it's a loss number four superannuation increase
the federal budget in May 2023 has maintained the super guarantees legislation increase up until 12
from 1st of July 2023 the super guarantee will increase to 11 and from there it would increase
0.5 percent every year until it reaches 12 percent up until 2025. now all of those who are working
full-time part-time and Casual are eligible to get these super contributions with few exceptions and
if you are someone who is looking to understand what exactly are these super contributions uh
which one which provider should you opt for and um how do you even work this out let me know in
the comments section and I'll probably plan a video for you guys the next one is work are
restrictions from 1st of July 2023 students work hours restrictions will be again reintroduced but
now the fortnite hours will be capped at 48 hours so previously which is let's talk about
before pandemic um it was 40 hours per fortnight and then once the pandemic hit the restrictions
the work restrictions were lifted off and then there were few other changes that they introduced
but from now that is from 1st of July 2023 it will now be capped at 48 hours per fortnight for
student visa holders however there's a catch here the catch here is those who are working in aged
care sector can work for unrestricted read hours until 31st of December 2023 I believe there is
um Workforce shortage in this sector which is why they decided that they would not
um reintroduce the work our restrictions here so if you are someone who is working
in the Aged care sector the restrictions for work hours would not apply to you until 31st
of December 2023. the next change that will be introduced from 1st of July 2023 is in medical
examination sector now if you are someone who who has applied visas for Australia you know
that medical examinations are important and it is mandatory for some of the Visas so from
1st of July urine tests will no longer be part of the medical examination but there would be
blood tests introduced instead of urine tests another update is those children who are aged
in between 5 to 14 years they no longer have to give any urine test or blood test unless they
have been clinically indicated these are some of the changes that will be introduced from 1st of
July 2023 please put down all your questions in the comment section and if you like this
