Jobs In Australia

Despite the economic downturn Australia is still facing labour shortages in the highly skilled job segment meaning there are still plenty of jobs in Australia open to British candidates.

The large number of jobs in Australia waiting to be filled is due to more people retiring each year in Australia than joining the workforce, and so for the foreseeable future Australia must continue to encourage more skilled workers to relocate to Australia.

There are two ways employers are able to take on overseas candidates to fill jobs in Australia. The first way is to employ overseas candidates who have already secured their own independent Australian visa – such as a skilled migration visa. The second way would be to issue a 457 temporary business visas, the candidate will then be sponsored by the employer to fill this job in Australia so long as the employer cannot find a skills fit locally. Such visas are currently being fast-tracked by the Australian government to ensure that critical skills are brought into Australia quickly to remedy the current shortage of highly skilled candidates to perform such jobs in Australia.
