Explanatory notes:
Note 1
All numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10 and salaries to the nearest $100. Therefore the sum of individual items in a table may not exactly match the total. Where a number in a table is between 1 and 4, the number has been masked with < 5 for privacy reasons. This report is based on visa grant data recorded for visa subclass 457 in the current financial year and provides a comparison with the SAME PERIOD IN THE PREVIOUS YEAR. It excludes a small number of visa grants made to Independent Executives, who also used to enter on subclass 457 visa but are now included in the Business Skills categories. The principal data collected on 457 visa holders comes from the visa application and grant process. The applicant and their sponsor provide a range of information to enable DIAC to assess the eligibility of the sponsor and the applicant for the visa. This is the most accurate and verifiable data that DIAC collects on 457 visa holders. It includes such information as the location of the nominated position, the nominated occupation, the nominated base salary and the citizenship country. Unless otherwise stated, the tables in this report relate to primary applicants only.

Note 4
Note 5
Unless otherwise stated, the occupation shown in tables in this report is the nominated occupation. That is, the position that is being filled rather than the previous or usual occupation of the visa applicant. Sponsors self-identify with an industry classification when lodging a nomination or sponsorship. The industry classification shown is based on what the sponsor has recorded. If a sponsor has notified more than one industry over time, the most recently recorded industry classification has been used in this report. Up until 1 April 2005, medical practitioners applied for a visa in Visa Subclass 422 Medical Practitioner. From that date, medical practitioners have been encouraged to apply for a Subclass 457 visa. In tables showing the top 15 citizenship countries, the figure for 'Unknown' is included in the total only.

Note 9
In some tables, 'Not recorded' or 'Not specified' appears. This mainly relates to visa applications processed in the IRIS system. IRIS does not have the capacity to record comprehensive information about sponsors and nominations. Since 1 November 2003, the ICSE system has largely replaced IRIS for processing subclass 457 visas, but a small number of visas are still processed in IRIS. From 14 September 2009, subclass 457 visa holders changing sponsor or nominated occupation do not need to lodge a new visa application if they held a valid subclass 457 visa. DIAC estimates that the number of visa applications lodged since 14 September 2009 has been reduced by 8 to 9 per cent below the level that would have occurred without the change.

Definition of Terms:
ANZSCO Major Group: Major Group is the highest level in the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) 1st Edition produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Australian and New Zealand Standard Industry Classification 2006 Edition produced by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). Prior to November 2008, ANZSIC 1993 was used to record industry. Data recorded using ANZSIC 1993 has been converted to ANZSIC 2006 using concordance tables provided by the ABS. Under the Migration Regulations 1994 (the Regulations), there are two types of applicants. These are primary applicants and secondary applicants. These terms are defined below. If the table or graph heading includes the word 'primary', such as 'primary applications' or 'primary visa holders', dependants (secondary applicants) are not included. Independent Executive: Formerly, a group within subclass 457 who did not require a sponsor. They are now included in the Business Skills categories. A small number of visa applications for Independent Executives were finalised in the current year. This refers to the last substantive visa held by a visa holder (that is, the last visa other than a bridging visa) prior to a point in time. The last visa held may have expired or still be in effect. Represents the gross annual salary based on a 38 hour week that the employer has indicated they will pay to the primary visa holder.

The primary applicant is the person who must satisfy the primary criteria for the grant of a visa under the Migration Regulations. An application lodged by a primary applicant. Secondary applicants must satisfy the secondary criteria for the grant of a visa under the Regulations. In this case, a secondary applicant is generally a dependant of the primary applicant.
