You’ve just completed your studies in Australia, and are turning your attention to the next stage of your career. You may have plenty of opportunities available across the globe, but something is drawing you back to a life in the land Down Under. Becoming a permanent resident of Australia is a complex process, but that doesn’t stop it from being a hot topic among students who are keen to develop their career in the Australian workforce after completing a course of study.
So, how can you go about becoming a permanent Australian resident? Gaining PR tends to revolve around occupations that are important to the Australian economy, yet are experiencing significant shortages. The Australian Government’s Department of Border Protection has established a list of skilled occupations that aren’t being filled by the current labour force, opening the door for potential migrants to gain permanent residency in Australia.
Let’s get down to the important part – which occupations feature on this list? It’s good news if you’re qualified in the construction, education, healthcare, professional services and engineering industries. Occupations across these areas are in the most demand, and it is no coincidence that these industries are projected to experience significant employment growth over the next five years. There is also a strong focus on the areas of management, finance, architecture and science.
If you’re considering a migration to Australia, read through the top 30 occupations on the Government’s current list (updated March 2018) to get an indication of what jobs are available to prospective permanent residents.
