Bridging skill gaps with Australia's Subclass 482 Visa
The Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa, also known as the Employer Sponsored Visa, allows Australian employers to address labour shortages by sponsoring skilled workers from overseas. This visa is part of Australia's skilled migration program and can offer a pathway to permanent residency for eligible applicants.
The Subclass 482 TSS Visa allows Australian employers to sponsor skilled foreign workers when local talent is not readily available. It's designed to help address labour shortages in key industries and can offer a temporary and in some cases, permanent opportunity to live and work in Australia.
Holders of the Core Skills Stream, Special Skills Stream and Labour Agreement Stream may be eligible for the Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186) visa.
Key considerations include working in the nominated occupation for up to four years, employer sponsorship for a permanent position, and continued compliance with visa and employment conditions.
You are typically required to start work within 90 days of arriving in Australia.

1.Core Skills Stream Visa
2.Specialist Skills Stream Visa

Q3: Can I apply for a 482 visa while I'm in Australia?

Traders Look Beyond Euro for Next Round of Short Dollar Bets
(Bloomberg) -- Traders are seeking alternatives to the euro when shorting the dollar as they look to capitalize on expectations for further weakness in the US currency. Long euro positions against the greenback remain in favor due to optimism over increased defense spending in the single-currency region. Traders though are looking to bet currencies such as the Chinese yuan, Australian dollar and South Korean won will strengthen versus their US peer on expectations the Federal Reserve will resume interest-rate cuts and as American exceptionalism fades. Dollar-yuan option trading volume on the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp. climbed to a one-month high last week with investors paying a premium to speculate on downside moves in the pair versus upside ones. Volumes in Australian dollar call options, which gain if the currency rises against the greenback, were nine times greater than puts, data from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Group's central limit order book showed July 1. 'The most recent demand in FX options has been a play in USD/CNH lower via dollar put digitals,' as well as other downside option structures, said Mukund Daga, head of foreign-exchange options for Asia at Barclays Bank in Singapore. 'This has been on the back of the most recent truce pact' that US President Donald Trump has signed with China, he said. A put digital option refers to a strategy that offers a fixed payout if the currency pair falls below a predetermined level when it expires. There's also an increased interest in bullish option structures for the Korean won, Daga said. Hedge funds are betting the won may replicate the Taiwan dollar's surge in early May, when the central bank allowed its currency to appreciate to help reach a trade deal with the US. The removal of political uncertainty in South Korea may also help support the won. What Bloomberg Strategists Said... 'A weaker dollar and a steady, gradually appreciating yuan have underpinned KRW gains in recent weeks despite tariff risks. From a valuations lens, the won remains competitive. Its real effective exchange rate is still cheap relative to historical averages, leaving room for further appreciation without threatening export dynamics.' — Mary Nicola, Macro Strategist, Singapore While long euro trades are still popular, interest in the Australian dollar is growing, according to Troy Fraser, head of foreign-exchange sales for Australia and New Zealand at Citigroup Inc.. 'We have seen interest mainly from hedge fund clients to put on AUD/USD topside in the short tenors over the past few weeks,' he said. One currency that traders appear less enthusiastic about is the yen. Appetite for long positions in the currency cooled after it tumbled versus the dollar in parts of May and June. 'USD/JPY short has certainly been a widow-maker,' said Antony Foster, head of Group-of-10 spot trading at Nomura International Plc in London. 'There are trade talks and politics involved which, once resolved, might help USD/JPY revert lower again, but whilst the risk is there, people are reluctant to really involve themselves.'

Visa's 24/7 war room takes on global cybercriminals
In the heart of Data Center Alley, a patch of suburban Washington where much of the world's internet traffic flows, Visa operates its global fraud command center. The numbers that the payments giant grapples with are enormous. Every year, $15 trillion flows through Visa's networks, representing roughly 15 percent of the world's economy. And bad actors constantly try to syphon off some of that money. Modern fraudsters vary dramatically in sophistication. To stay ahead, Visa has invested $12 billion over the past five years building AI-powered cyber fraud detection capabilities, knowing that criminals are also spending big. "You have everybody from a single individual threat actor looking to make a quick buck all the way to really corporatized criminal organisations that generate tens or hundreds of millions of dollars annually from fraud and scam activities," Michael Jabbara, Visa's global head of fraud solutions, told AFP during a tour of the company's security campus. "These organisations are very structured in how they operate." The best-resourced criminal syndicates now focus on scams that directly target consumers, enticing them into purchases or transactions by manipulating their emotions. "Consumers are continuously vulnerable. They can be exploited, and that's where we've seen a much higher incidence of attacks recently," Jabbara said. The warning signs are clear: anything that seems too good to be true online is suspicious, and romance opportunities with strangers from distant countries are especially dangerous. "What you don't realize is that the person you're chatting with is more likely than not in a place like Myanmar," Jabbara warned. He said human-trafficking victims are forced to work in multi-billion-dollar cyber scam centers built by Asian crime networks in Myanmar's lawless border regions. The most up-to-date fraud techniques are systematic and quietly devastating. Once criminals obtain your card information, they automatically distribute it across numerous merchant websites that generate small recurring charges, amounts low enough that victims may not notice for months. Some of these operations increasingly resemble legitimate tech companies, offering services and digital products to fraudsters much like Google or Microsoft cater to businesses. On the dark web, criminals can purchase comprehensive fraud toolkits. "You can buy the software. You can buy a tutorial on how to use the software. You can get access to a mule network on the ground or you can get access to a bot network" to carry out denial-of-service attacks that overwhelm servers with traffic, effectively shutting them down. Just as cloud computing lowered barriers for startups by eliminating the need to build servers, "the same type of trend has happened in the cyber crime and fraud space," Jabbara explained. These off-the-shelf services can also enable bad actors to launch brute force attacks on an industrial scale, using repeated payment attempts to crack a card's number, expiry date, and security code. The sophistication extends to corporate-style management, Jabbara said. Some criminal organisations now employ chief risk officers who determine operational risk appetite. They might decide that targeting government infrastructure and hospitals generates an excessive amount of attention from law enforcement and is too risky to pursue. To combat these unprecedented threats, Jabbara leads a payment scam disruption team focused on understanding criminal methodologies. From a small room called the Risk Operations Center in Virginia, employees analyse data streams on multiple screens, searching for patterns that distinguish fraudulent activity from legitimate credit card use. In the larger Cyber Fusion Center, staff monitor potential cyberattacks targeting Visa's own infrastructure around the clock. "We deal with millions of attacks across different parts of our network," Jabbara noted, emphasising that most are handled automatically without human intervention. Visa maintains identical facilities in London and Singapore, ensuring 24-hour global vigilance.

Australia, NZ dollars start big central bank week on back foot as tariff uncertainty mounts
SYDNEY, July 7 (Reuters) - The Australian and New Zealand dollars started a big central bank week on the back foot as investors braced for U.S. trade uncertainty that could linger for weeks now that there appears to be a delay in the tariff implementation date. The Aussie fell 0.5% on Monday to $0.6522, the lowest level in a week. It ended last week just 0.3% higher, with resistance heavy at an eight-month top of $0.6590. The kiwi dollar eased 0.4% at $0.6025, the lowest in almost two weeks. It finished last week just 0.1% higher, with stiff resistance at a nine-month peak of $0.6120. President Donald Trump said the U.S. will start delivering tariff letters to other countries starting at 12:00 p.m. ET (1600 GMT) on Monday. Earlier, he said the higher rates would now take effect on August 1 rather than July 9. "If we do get the letters this week, then August 1 is the deadline as opposed to the midnight on the day that (they) send them out. That ostensibly leaves some wiggle room for negotiations... but what it is going to do is wreck markets with uncertainty," said Ray Attrill, head of FX strategy at the National Australia Bank. Indeed, shares fell across Asia, with Wall Street futures down about 0.5%. The two Antipodeans are often sold as proxies for risk assets. Down Under, it is a big week for central banks, with both Australia and New Zealand set to announce their latest policy decisions. Markets have almost fully priced in a rate cut from the Reserve Bank of Australia on Tuesday with a 95% probability. Analysts at ING said as RBA turns more dovish, it could hinder gains in the Australian dollar versus other major currencies, although against the greenback, it remains a U.S. tariff story. "We expect AUD to lag behind NZD and potentially other high-beta currencies where there is less room for front-end rates to fall, such as SEK (the Swedish krona)," they said in a note to clients. Across the Tasman Sea, the RBNZ will meet on Wednesday and is most likely to keep the cash rate steady at 3.25%. Swaps imply a probability of 81% for no move.
