What is TSS Visa - Temporary Skill Shortage (Australia)?
The former name for Australia's employer-sponsored temporary work visa program (now Subclass 482), which allows Australian employers to hire overseas workers for occupations they can't fill domestically, with visa streams lasting two to four years depending on the occupation and skill level.
