Migration Skills
Are you aware that potential migrants with particular skills have preference?

If you are aware of any friends who are here on temporary visas or others wishing to migrate to Australia, the Migration’s Occupations in Demand List (MODL), which is easily located with a Google search at Australian Government website, provides a list of occupations that will receive preference in migrating to Australia.

 

In recent times, trade occupations to be added to the list include binder and finisher, landscape gardener and tree surgeon.  A number of computing specialisations are included as new inclusions as well as electronics engineers, optometrists and dental technicians.

 

Our experience is that a number of these occupations are in very short supply.

 

The role of computing professional specialising in Sybase SQL server is one of the few occupations removed recently.
