The 8107 Work Condition covers employment conditions for approved 482 visa holders.

This rule says that as a 482 holder you:

can only work for your nominating employer in the occupation listed on your nomination
must commence work within 90 days of arriving in Australia to avoid breaching condition 8107.
NOTE: If you need registration or a license to work in your occupation in Australia, you must arrange this before you start work.

If you end your employment you have 90 days before you risk cancellation of your visa

Are there any exceptions to the rule?

The 8107 Work Condition is not applied if you are:

employed as a general manager or medical practitioner
need to serve out a notice period with a previous employer
are an “associated entity” of the sponsor – this status covers subsidiaries, parents and sibling companies
Is there a process for changing jobs without applying for a new 482 visa?

Yes – here’s how it works.

ABC Company employed you on a 482 visa. However you have found a new job with Company XYZ:

Company XYZ applies to nominate you
Once the nomination is approved, you can work for Company XYZ without needing to apply for a new 482
NOTE: Once your new nomination is approved you can give notice to Company ABC and work for the agreed notice period before moving to Company XYZ.

It’s important not to give notice too soon in case your new nomination takes some time to finalise. Be careful not to risk breaching the 90 day limitation for being out of work.
