Needed Immigration Postitions

The recovery period after COVID-19 has seen some significant gaps in the Australian workforce. Some skilled and professional positions are presently short-staffed, and will remain so for a few years even as we encourage migration to fill these positions.

The skilled migration program lists occupations in Australia that are presently being offered to foreigners. This list was largely put on hold when COVID became serious, in early 2020. It has been revised to suit the situation in 2023.

The most needed areas that can be filled by foreign applicants include:

• Civil Engineering
• Early Childhood Teachers, Secondary School Teachers
• Registered Nurses
• Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
• Construction Managers
• Software and Applications Programmers
• Electricians
• Metal Fitters and Machinists
• Plumbers
• Child Carer Workers
• Age and Disability Carers
• Chefs

Some occupations previously on the list have now been removed, as they have been partially filled. However, there are still a fair number of these positions available, and applications for most of these positions are still being accepted and often approved.

• ICT Security Specialists
• Analyst Programmers
• Developer Programmers
• Software Engineers
• Software and Applications Programmers
• Chief Executives
• Accountants
• Engineers
• Veterinarians

Many occupations not listed are still taking some applications as there are vacancies in some areas of Australia.

There are several applicable Visa paths to immigration:

• 482 Visa (TSS) Temporary Skill Shortage
