For many years now, skilled migration has relied on occupation lists to determine where skills shortages lie.
While these lists seem pretty straightforward, they’re not really reflective of current labour issues. These lists are based on occupations rather than jobs which is a very black and white view of an issue that has many shades of grey.
It’s no secret that Australian businesses are struggling to find workers. The halt on migration due to the pandemic caused extreme labour shortages throughout the country. Now, as life has seemed to evolve past the pandemic, businesses everywhere are looking for staff.
The recently released National Skills Commission report shows nurses, software engineers and care workers were the most in demand professions with construction managers, childcare workers and motor mechanics not too far behind.
All of Australia and much of the world is focused on the devastating bushfires that are currently ripping through our country. While the immediate goal is getting these fires under control and ultimately extinguishing them, thoughts at some point will turn to what happens after the fires.
Effective 18th March 2018, the former Subclass 457 visa was abolished, and replaced with a new Subclass 482 visa, which is known as the Temporary Skill Shortage visa.
The recent visa changes have had a huge impact on those who’ve already started the process to migrate to Australia, including one of our recent clients Paul Nevin who’s a financial planner.
Paul wanted to start a new life in Australia with his wife Alison and their four children. She had lots of relatives in Australia and narrowly missed out being born here.
There’s nothing worse than spending lots of time, money and effort submitting a visa application for Australia, only to learn it’s been refused. In recent times, the Australian Government has adopted a tougher approach to granting visas and the Department of Immigration and Border Control scrutinises every individual application. Checks are made to ensure that evidence supplied is correct for the respective visa. If it falls short in any way, the likelihood is that the visa application will be refused.
