Three new incentives for qualified migration
30 May 2022 By RC Migration
The Australian Department of Migration has announced three new measures to promote skilled migration, facilitating access to Skills Assessment and the Australian labor market.
These are the three measures announced:
Faster Migrant Skills Assessment
This incentive offers fast-tracked skills assessments for onshore migrants who have already submitted and paid for an application in a priority occupation and are awaiting an outcome.
Skills Assessment Opportunities for Migrants
This incentive offers onshore migrants who reside in Australia on a permanent family, partner, humanitarian or refugee visa with a free, fast-tracked skills assessment. This incentive is available to migrants who have never undergone a skills assessment and who have skills, qualifications and/or experience directly relevant to a priority occupation.
Employability Assessments
This incentive is aimed at improving employment outcomes for skilled migrants working below their skill level.
This incentive offers onshore migrants, who have previously received a suitable skills assessment in a priority occupation, with a free employability assessment and access to subsidised training to gain the specific skills required in the Australian job market. A full list of priority occupations will be published soon.
Timing is key to migrating to Australia. Prepare now for the next fiscal year, book a consultation with one of our migration agents here >
