This Financial Year Is Your Opportunity for Offshore Skilled Migration
Australia’s major programme allocations have recently been confirmed, with specific details now emerging. Since the start of the new financial year, some states — including Queensland and Victoria — have reopened their doors to applicants.In particular, for the offshore skilled migration category, the federal Department of Home Affairs has encouraged states to prioritise offshore applicants this financial year,to help ease severe labour shortages.Looking at actual invitation rounds across multiple states, the numbers and occupations on offer are genuinely higher than in previous years.
As Australia’s national unemployment rate reaches a record low, industry unions have also softened their stance,no longer firmly opposing more foreign workers coming to Australia for employment.For offshore applicants, this financial year is genuinely a strong window for offshore skilled migration.
In particular,business, commerce, and humanities fieldshave more application pathways available this financial year than in previous years, with lower entry thresholds than before.Today we share the state-by-state requirements for offshore skilled migration this financial year, along with the available pathways for popular business and humanities occupations.
