Usually, employers must advertise jobs locally to prove no Australian can do the work before hiring someone from overseas. This document says that requirement **does not apply** to four specific categories of Japanese nationals coming to Australia under the Japan-Australia Economic Partnership Agreement (JAEPA).\n\n**Who it covers**\n\nThe exemption applies to:\n* **Executives and Senior Managers** transferring within a company to work in Australia\n* **Specialists** transferring within a company to work in Australia\n* **Investors** from Japan\n* **Contractual Service Suppliers** (people providing services under contract between Japanese and Australian companies)\n\n**Why it matters**\n\nThis implements Australia's obligations under the JAEPA trade treaty. The agreement treats labour market testing for these categories as inconsistent with Australia's treaty commitments, so this determination formally creates the exemption under the *Migration Act 1958*."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-determination-of-japan-australia-economic-partnership-agreement-immi-14-113","history":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-determination-of-japan-australia-economic-partnership-agreement-immi-14-113/history","analysis":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-determination-of-japan-australia-economic-partnership-agreement-immi-14-113/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-determination-of-japan-australia-economic-partnership-agreement-immi-14-113/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-determination-of-japan-australia-economic-partnership-agreement-immi-14-113/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/migration-act-1958-determination-of-japan-australia-economic-partnership-agreement-immi-14-113/documents"}}
