- The name of the sponsor/employer
- The title and description of the position available
- The salary (or salary range) of the position if the salary will be below $96,400

Employers must undertake LMT within the four months prior to lodging their TSS (subclass 482) nomination if they could not fulfill the position due to a lack of skills, qualifications, or relevant work experience in the local labour market.
When advertising the nominated occupation, employers must:
