The Department of Home Affairs disclosed changes to Condition 8107 for Temporary Activity (subclass 408) visas issued for Australian Government endorsed COVID-19 pandemic events. A temporary less restrictive employment policy was implemented allowing visa holders to change employment, work for multiple employers, and engage in self-employment without notifying the Department. The policy was first relaxed on 22 December 2024 and updated on 16 June 2022 (as shown in the chronological table), enabling unrestricted work to address labour shortages. Visa holders were required to maintain employment or arrange departure from Australia. The Department updated its webpage documenting these policy changes as the situation evolved during the pandemic, with guidance on Condition 8107 removed on 12 December 2024 before being reintroduced with relaxed restrictions.
