• SBS approval number + validity dates
• Sponsor type: Standard Business Sponsor / Accredited Sponsor / Labour Agreement
• Business contact details
Section 2 — Position details:

§2 — ANZSCO DUTIES MATCHING (200-250 words)
The nominated position MUST substantially align with the ANZSCO [ANZSCO_CODE] lead statement + at least 4-5 of the main duties.
Mismatch is the #1 nomination refusal driver.
For ANZSCO [ANZSCO_CODE]:
Reference the official ANZSCO 2021 lead statement + main duties from www.abs.gov.au.
Draft a position description that:
• Restates the ANZSCO lead statement (paraphrased, not verbatim)
• Specifies 6-8 specific tasks the worker will perform
• At least 4-5 tasks should mirror ANZSCO main duties
• Includes industry-specific context for [EMPLOYER_NAME]
Common ANZSCO mismatches:
• Generic role titles ("Manager") with vague duties
• IT roles: 261313 Software Engineer vs 261111 ICT Business Analyst — clear distinction needed
• Engineering roles: 233211 Civil Engineer vs 233512 Mechanical Engineer
• Marketing roles: 225113 Marketing Specialist vs 131114 Public Relations Manager
• Healthcare: 254413 Registered Nurse (Aged Care) vs 254418 Registered Nurse (Medical Practice)
§3 — GENUINE POSITION EVIDENCE (150-180 words)
[EMPLOYER_NAME] must demonstrate the position is a real, ongoing role — not invented for sponsorship.
Evidence:
• Organisational chart showing position within structure
• Job description (formal, dated)
• Recent business growth justifying new position
• Project pipeline requiring the role
• Comparable existing positions filled by Australians or PRs
• For new positions: business case for creation
• For replacement positions: evidence of departing employee + handover plan
For startups + small businesses:
• Heightened scrutiny — DHA suspects positions invented for visa purposes
• Provide business plan, revenue projections, customer contracts, existing employee headcount
• Tax returns showing business activity
§4 — LABOUR MARKET TESTING (LMT) EVIDENCE (130-160 words)
For Core Skills Stream + most others (verify Specialist Skills exemption):
[LMT_PLATFORMS] expanded — each platform must show:
• Platform name (LinkedIn Jobs, Indeed, Workforce Australia, JobBank, JobActive, SEEK)
• Date posted
• Date closed (≥28 days advertising window required)
• Job posting URL or screenshot
• Salary + location matching nomination
• Role description matching ANZSCO
LMT timing:
• All advertising must close within 6 months of nomination submission
• Must include the National Workforce Strategy advert (Workforce Australia)
• Two additional platforms minimum (industry-specific OR general)
Documentation for nomination:
• Screenshot of each advertisement
• Date stamps
• Number of applicants received per platform
• Brief explanation: why no suitable Australian / PR applicant was found
§5 — SALARY + AMSR COMPLIANCE (130-160 words)
[PROPOSED_SALARY_AUD] must:
(a) Meet the applicable Income Threshold (SSIT AUD 135,000 / CSIT AUD 73,150)
(b) Match the Annual Market Salary Rate (AMSR) — what an Australian / PR would be paid for the same role at [EMPLOYER_NAME] OR comparable industry rate
AMSR evidence:
• Existing similar-position Australian employees' salaries (anonymised)
• Industry survey data (Hudson, Hays, Robert Half, McGrath Nicol)
• Awards / Modern Awards / Enterprise Agreement applicable
• Recruitment agency rate data
Equal Treatment principle: [WORKER_NAME] must NOT be paid less than an Australian PR doing the same role at the same employer.
§6 — DECISION TIMELINE + POST-APPROVAL (60-80 words)
Standard processing:
• Specialist Skills nomination: 7-14 days
• Core Skills nomination: 1-3 months
• Labour Agreement: varies
If approved: nomination valid 12 months for visa application
If refused: 21-day AAT review window OR re-nomination with corrections
End with: "DRAFT SUBCLASS 482 NOMINATION — for MARN-registered agent review. ANZSCO duty matching is the highest-leverage variable; mismatched job description vs ANZSCO duties drives most refusals.
