SKILLS SHORTAGE AND AUSTRALIA’S MIGRATION PLANS.

Australia is at, or near, technical full employment. However, Australian businesses currently need 500,000 people to fill vacant positions. The Australian government is actively promoting skilled professionals and tradespersons to address these shortages.

 

Approximately 200,000 – 300,000 of these vacant positions alone are available now in the ‘Construction Sector’ so….

 

Check this link to see if your skill is one of the Priority Migration Skilled Occupations These occupations are given processing priority because they fill critical skills needed to support Australia’s economic recovery from COVID-19.

 

There are many other skilled occupation visas, such as the ‘Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS)’ visa. This is a visa that enables employers to address labour shortages Australia-wide.

 

OR

 

The ‘Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (SESR) Visa’ This provisional visa enables regional employers to address identified labour shortages within their region by sponsoring skilled workers, and it leads to permanent residency.

 

OR

 

The Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa’. This visa lets skilled workers, who are nominated by their employer, live and work in Australia permanently. You can apply for this visa directly or transition from a provisional visa.
