Australia needs skilled workers in hundreds of occupations in various fields ranging from education to health. Australia is facing staggering skills shortages, according to a recent Australian National Skills Commission report, which shows occupation shortages doubled in 2022 as the labour market tightened. Under the Australian Ministerial Direction 100, priority has been given to Certain Skilled Visas. The new Australian Ministerial Direction has been designed to allow the Australian Department of Home Affairs to process more skilled applications efficiently, faster and to respond quickly to labour market needs, speeding up processing for all occupations and making the process less complicated.

Your ability to immigrate to Australia depends not only on your occupation even though your occupation is on the desired Australian national occupation list. You will also have to meet Australia’s stringent immigration and visa requirements.
