Australia to Increase Skilled Visa Salary Thresholds from July 2025: What Employers and Migrants Need to Know

21 June 2025 · Europe Permit

  • 💰 Australia indexes skilled‑visa salaries by 4.6% annually to match local earnings

  • 📅 The raise takes effect on 1 July 2025 for new nomination applications

  • ⬆️ The Core Skills Income Threshold (CSIT) increases from AUD 73,150 to AUD 76,515

  • 🌏 The Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT) also rises to AUD 76,515, affecting regional visa streams

  • 🧾 Employers must offer these minimums or the relevant Annual Market Salary Rate—whichever is higher—for new nominations
