Working in Australia as a foreigner is about to get tougher.
Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Tuesday that the country is overhauling a visa program that allows skilled workers from abroad to hold jobs for up to four years.
"We are an immigration nation. But the fact remains, Australian workers must have priority for Australian jobs," Turnbull said in a video announcement posted on Facebook.
The current visa program, known as 457, was intended to allow employers to plug gaps in the Australian labor market. It will be replaced by two temporary visas, one for two-year stays and another for four-year stays.
