Why do we have to wait another 7 months just to apply for these new visas? and it will take another 7 months for these visas to be processed. We have already been waiting for 21 months. This is so unfair @NickMcKim@AlexHawkeMP@tomwconnell@tomwconnell@JulianHillMP@abcnews
Staff shortages were entirely predictable given the spread of COVID, yet solution is easy.
Rather than making them wait until July 2022, expedite the return of expired student & professional Visa holders who were unable to enter Australia due to COVID.

@ScottMorrisonMP@AlexHawkeMP we have experience to work in Australia and we have worked in different sectors so why are you not forward the date of replacement 485 visa. It will be helpful for Australia, Australian and our future as well. So please forward #replacement visa date
Australia is facing staff shortage problem & students are given extra hours to work. Which is fair enoug! One thing which I can't understand @AlexHawkeMP why 485visa holders not allowed to enter into country by issuing replacement visa earlier than July to overcome staff problem
@RizviAbul My thoughts were exactly the same, from Dec till Feb students are on break & can work full-time, on the contrary 485 visa holders stuck offshore wanting to come back and work aren't provided any concession, have to wait until July & months for processing of the visas.
Workforce shortages caused by Omicron Variant can be filled easily by letting 15k stranded 485visa holders into Aus as the visa allows them to work fulltime.@AlexHawkeMP pls bring forward the application date for replacement 485visa. Help us to Help Australia.

15k stranded 485visa holders can help fill the staff shortages.instead we have been asked to wait untl July to apply for renewals.We are happy to help but can Hon’ble Minister @AlexHawkeMP allow us to apply for renewals before July?#auspol#Australia#AustraliaHasFallen#auspoll
We can help in this critical situation to fill up some workers shortage and give good support to economy, because we are the once we have fully working right with 485 visa holders. All are 30k 485 visa holders available to work many ways..
Injustice!! Injustice!! Injustice!! Allow us now we have careers to build. Loans to pay. Please end this mental torture its been almost 2 years we are asking govt to let us back. #auspol#auspol2022

We can help Australia in so many industries but we can’t because we have been told to wait till july 2022 just to apply for new visas and no one knows how long it would take for our visas to be processed

@let_aus@aussie_alee@AlexHawkeMP@ljayes @KKeneally @JulianHillMP@NickMcKim Given the current staff shortage across Australia, i think you guys can show cause to why you should be let in earlier. 485 visa holders have lived ,studied n workedin Australia. You are better suited than a first time backpacker being allowed in.Happy to help with the campaign.
