Short Term Work Sub Classes

The Australian government introduced new regulations for temporary work visas effective November 19, 2016, requiring that visa applications for subclasses 400, 407, and 408 be submitted online only. Paper applications for these subclasses as well as subclasses 401 and 402 submitted after this date will be considered invalid. The new temporary visa framework consolidated visa types into four subclasses - the 400 for short-term specialized work up to 3 months, the 403 for international relations work, the 407 for workplace training, and the 408 for temporary activities such as entertainment, sports, religious work, and approved special programs.
