Labour market testing is a process which employers must undergo to access the 457 visa sponsorship programme. It is not required for all occupations, however we recommend that labour market testing be a core component for all 457 visa applications nonetheless!

Just to recap what we already know, the purpose of Labour Market Testing is to test the local labour market, to ensure that there is no suitably qualified and experienced Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident from the local labour market readily available to fill the position.

In short, the process was introduced to meet genuine skills shortages.

Okay so we know that inventory lists are not the kind of thing that gets business owners excited, that is until something happens and the time comes to claim on your insurance.   When you’re filling out your claim form, you’ll probably remember the big things, computers, office equipment and the like, but what about the smaller items, which may be low cost but could also add up in value!

When something bad happens to your business, such as a fire, theft or malicious damage, the costs incurred could be significant. Consider how quickly you could claim if you didn’t have complete records?  Creating an inventory list will help consolidate records and manage your response to such an event, without relying on a foggy memory.

Waiting for a claim to be paid so that you can get your business running as per usual can be a stressful time, so you’ll want to speed up the process and eliminate the need of proving ownership, and a good way to get this done is by having an office inventory list.
