Annual Market Salary Rate Updated for 2026

Home Affairs has amended the Migration Regulations to update the Annual Market Salary Rate for 2026. This rate is used to determine income thresholds for various skilled migration visa programs. The amendment was in effect from 24 March 2026 to 11 August 2026. If you are applying for a skilled migration visa that requires you to meet a minimum salary requirement, you should check the updated rates on the Home Affairs website to confirm your application meets current thresholds. The specific salary rates and how they apply to your visa subclass can be found in Home Affairs' official guidance. Contact Home Affairs or a registered migration agent if you're unsure whether the new rates affect your application.
