The purpose of LIN 20/156 is to amend LIN 18/036 to include an additional requirement for the manner in which labour market testing is required to be undertaken. Specifically, LIN 20/156 requires for nominated positions to be advertised on the Government’s Jobactive website. This measure would be in addition to advertising in at least two advertisements in one or more of the mediums already outlined in subsection 8(3) of LIN 18/036.
The amendment is in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has severely disrupted Australia’s labour market. Many Australian workers have been stood down or have had their employment terminated. In response to this, the Australian Government has decided to enhance the current labour market testing conditions to ensure that Australian workers are prioritised for job opportunities in Australia.
