TRUCK DRIVERS' JOBS * Australia - Changes to temporary business subclass 457 visa program for
Australia -Visa Bureau (London,England,UK), by Jessica Bird -3 July 2008: -- ... The 457 visa allows employers to hire overseas workers on a temporary basis to fill skills shortages. The commercial driving industry in Australia is currently suffering from a labour shortage, and has been hiring temporary foreign workers under the 457 visa to boost employment numbers... The review concluded, however, that hiring temporary drivers on a visa for Australia is not a safe or sustainable option... They also said the 457 visa only solves regional gaps in the driving industry. At the moment, each state and territory have different licensing requirements, meaning foreign workers can drive in some states without an Australian licence, and not in others... The group also asked for international commercial drivers to be approved permanent entry visas for Australia instead of the temporary 457 visa... It also recommended new legislation to ensure all overseas immigrants obtain an appropriate Australian driver’s licence before commencing employment as a commercial driver...
