Given the relatively strong economy and shortage of skilled workers in many industry sectors the entry of skilled persons to Australia, both temporary and permanent, is important for the Australian Government. The Australian Government is focused on employer sponsored skilled migration in particular. There are state/territory government sponsored options for certain visa categories. There is also an emphasis on individual skilled migration for occupations in the health, engineering and IT fields.

Whether you are an employer or an individual, feel free to contact us for an initial consultation to discuss your requirements and to assess which categories may best meet your needs and whether all the relevant criteria can be met. The best route forward can often be established during this initial consultation although, in some cases, a more detailed consultation may be necessary.

The information on the following pages summarises some of the main visa categories but it isn't an exhaustive list - other options may be available. Please also note that this information should not be treated as a substitute for advice on specific matters (see conditions of use for more details). Sometimes it may be necessary to work with a registered migration agent based in Australia. However, where this assistance is required, we continue to work through one of our network partners but still handle everything on behalf of the client so that there is just one point of contact.

For an initial discussion of your requirements, please contact Dominic Higgins or click here for full contact information.
