Australia is currently subjecting itself to some of the strictest lockdown measures in the world in order to isolate itself from external Covid-19 outbreaks, but travel restrictions may soon change due to Australia's dire need for skilled migrants.

To stimulate the economy, the Australian government invites skilled migrants with experience in areas where there are labour shortages. The primary goal of this programme is to boost Australia's economic productivity.

The skilled stream of the migration programme is intended to attract migrants who make significant contributions to the Australian economy and fill positions where Australian workers are in short supply.

Skilled migrants have very high labour-force participation rates, which contributes to economic growth and job creation.

How would one qualify for skilled migration?

A specific set of criteria would have to be met in order to qualify for Australia’s skilled migration programme. It is strongly advised that individuals who wish to benefit from this programme consult with a professional Immigration Consultancy in order to determine their qualification status. This is done not only to ensure that the individual meets the Australian government's criteria, but also to ensure that all technical aspects of the application are completely clear.

Why apply now?

Although Australia's borders are currently closed to skilled migrants, the country has a significantly lower backlog of applicants than it will have when the border reopens. This downtime is critical for moving your application to the front of the queue and ensuring that you make the transition to a better future as soon as possible.
