AUSTRALIA NEEDS YOU

Whether you are a Skilled Tradesperson – a Professional – or a potential Business Visa applicant (a manufacturer, a current or potential business owner, or an entrepreneur) Australia is open for business.

As we start the new year, figures from last year alone show state Australia-wide 485,000 new jobs were created last year (in the middle of a pandemic) and as the economy continues its recovery, Australia is expected to outperform this.

However, 1,000’s of skilled migrants and professionals are needed to achieve this. Australia has one of the best performing economies in the world, with one of the highest vaccine rates in the world and, with very low hospitalisations the future is bright.

REGIONAL MIGRATION

Describing Australia is easy to do because if you enjoy white sunny beaches, pastoral green fields and mountains, vast open spaces inviting you to go on never-ending adventures, alongside developed and advanced cities, impressive skyscrapers, bubbly nightlife, and exceptionally friendly people – you’re going to love it.

Fun Facts:
Australia is approximate in size to the USA but has a population of only 24 million compared to the USA’s population of nearly 340 million. It’s also approximate in size to China that has a population of 1.4 billion (yes…………. billion or 58 times Australia’s population). It is bigger than India (population of nearly 1.4 billion again) and bigger than the whole of Western Europe (population 300 million).

Regional Migration:
The Australian Government is committed to supporting regional areas with 2 skilled regional provisional visas that provide a pathway to permanent residence with
• a skilled regional permanent resident visa
• additional points under the Skilled Migration Points Test for skilled migrants nominated to live and work in regional Australia
• more options for international students who graduate from regional universities

Skilled migrants settling in regional Australia have a diverse range of available occupations to match their experience, skills, and qualifications.

Remember:
Currently there are over 55,000 vacant jobs in Western Australia alone, and with an economy that is booming, vacancies are expected to rise across all industries And

Western Australia’s economy was also recently voted “The Best In The World” so the process of migrating Down Under should begin now.

DOCTORS, NURSES AND OTHER MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS

The Australian government prioritises certain medical professions.

One major hospital group alone Down Under has 500 vacancies.

The average wage for a Nurse in Australia is $79,094. Compared to the United Kingdom average of $62,050 (converted from £33,384), not only is the average Nurse salary over $17,000 more, there are other reasons to migrate Down Under such as;

1. Multiple Australian cities have been voted every year (independently by the Economist) as the top ‘Liveable Cities’ in the world. Melbourne was voted the winner in 2017, which was its 7th year in a row to do so.

2. The Australian economy is solid, and the Australian dollar has the reputation of being one of the strongest and safest currencies in the world.

3. All permanent residents can eventually qualify to become an Australian citizen, and Australia recognises dual citizenship.

4. Australia is also an attractive migration destination because of its temperate weather. Due to the huge size of the country, Australia has several different climate zones. There is a more tropical-influenced climate in the north, but cool mild summers in the south. CLICK HERE for specific city details.

5. The Australian education system provides free or subsidised primary, secondary and tertiary education.

6. The health system in Australia (Medicare) provides access to a wide range of health care services, free medical care in public hospitals and lower costs for prescription medicines, subsidised or free treatment by health professionals such as specialists, doctors, optometrists, and in specific circumstances other allied health practitioners such as dentists.

WA’s COVID-FREE STATUS ATTRACTS INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Students will be allowed into WA when the state reopens early next year. To do so they will only need to comply with the same requirements as all other international travellers such as;

• Return a negative PCR test 72 hours prior to their departure
• Undertake a COVID-19 test within 48 hours of entry into WA

IMPORTANT
• Double vaccinated international students will NOT be required to quarantine.

The WA Education Minister Ms Ellery is confident many international students will come to WA in time for semester 1 of 2022. The minister has stated, “I don’t see any reason why they wouldn’t return, as semester 2 is looking great, and semester 1 is a bonus.”

She also stated, “If you were a mum or dad sitting in Singapore or anywhere else, thinking about where you might want to send your 18 or 19-year-old to get the best education, “Western Australia is one of the safest places in the world to do that.”

WESTERN AUSTRALIA UNEMPLOYMENT RATE FALLS AGAIN TO AN UNBELIEVABLE 3.9%

WA’s economy has recovered from the initial impact of COVID-19 with strong support from the mining industry.

The ABS Labour Force report for October showed WA’s unemployment rate fell from 4.1 per cent to 3.9 per cent , as full-time employment grew. This is the lowest unemployment rate in the nation and lowest in WA since July 2012.

WA was the only State in Australia to experience a fall in the unemployment rate, which is now at least 1.2 percentage points lower than any other State.

For example, one online employment agency over 26,000 vacancies currently advertised in WA alone.

Comments attributed to WA Premier Mark McGowan

“Western Australia’s world-leading response to the COVID-19 pandemic has laid the foundation for strong economic growth.

“Today’s data not only highlights WA success but also the economic impacts that COVID-19 has had in NSW and Victoria – with both States’ unemployment rates much higher.

“With investment in WA growing and more and more projects coming online, our unemployment rate has dipped to its lowest level since 2012.

WA is now regarded as the safest and strongest State in the nation
