Market Salary Rate (AMSR) Report
A benchmarking report that evidences the nominated salary against the market, showing an overseas worker is paid no less than an equivalent Australian worker would be for the same role in the same location.
The requirement
What is a Market Salary Rate report?
For employer-sponsored nominations, the salary offered generally must meet the Annual Market Salary Rate — what an equivalent Australian worker would be paid for the same role in the same location — as well as any applicable income threshold. A Market Salary Rate report brings together market evidence to demonstrate the nominated salary meets that standard.
Evidence we draw on
The report benchmarks the role using a range of independent, current market sources, presented clearly so the comparison is easy to follow:
- Comparable job ads
- Modern awards
- Enterprise agreements
- Salary surveys
- Published data
- Role & location match
Common subclasses
A Market Salary Rate report is typically prepared to support nominations under the employer-sponsored and regional skilled streams:
- Subclass 482
- Subclass 186
- Subclass 494
- Labour Agreement
- DAMA
