QLD 457 Visa - Is Developer Programmer Exempt from Labour Market Testing?

[jul2614]

Hi,

I am hoping someone can provide some help on two things. We are going through the 457 visa, Nomination and Visa Application for a UK person to work in Brisbane:

- Is the occupation 'Developer Programmer ANZSCO code 261312' exempt from labour market testing?
- For the same occupation, does a skills test need to be done? The UK person has 10 years experience but no qualifications.

Thanks!

Yes, It would appear that Developer Programmer 261312 is exempt from requirement to advertise, however there may be a requirement to do skills test, depending on circumstances.
