• an industry association has negotiated a wide agreement for the supply of needed skills in the Temporary Business (Long Stay) Subclass 457 visa and permanent entry Labour Agreement visa (Subclass 120 and 855) programs.
• occupations are not on the list of approved occupations for the Temporary Business (Long Stay) Subclass 457 visa, permanent Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) or Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme yet a genuine skills shortage exists or occupations are not covered under the Australian Standard Classification of Occupations (ASCO)
