This proposal would increase the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT) from $53,900 per year (unindexed) to $65,000 and would be indexed annually by wage price index (WPI) which would effectively increase the minimum wage for temporary skilled migrants. Only new visa holders would be eligible for the increased threshold.

This proposal would commence from 1 July 2022.
