Australian government announces migration opportunities for skilled carers from the UK

The Australian Government has announced plans to increase its migrant intake quota by 30,000 next year, and is encouraging skilled health profesisonals in the UK to find out about the migration opportunities available to them.

The rise in demand for highly skilled workers comes despite massive investment by the Australian Government in education and training, with more migrants needed to fill roles due to an expanding economy and ageing population.

Later this month Australian registered migration agents, Thames Migration will launch a series of informative seminars across the country in cities such as Manchester, Leeds and London to provide information to skilled carers who might be interested in pursuing a career in Australia.

Hannibal Khoury, director of Thames Migration, said: "Although the continued upskilling of Australia’s current workforce is important, a robust skilled migration program is also necessary to manage the current situation and to assist in smoothing the path to future growth – striking the right balance is key.

"Skilled migration is also imperative to ensure new major health care facilities and hospital projects are staffed with qualified health professionals.

"For example, to name a few, The Lady Cilento Children's Hospital (LCCH) will be Queensland's major specialist children's hospital providing clinical, educational and support services. The Western Australian Midland Health Campus is a new hospital, (which has the vision for future expansion to a 464-bed hospital) – completion July 2015, and the Royal Adelaide Hospital a $1.85 billion investment to build Australia's most advanced hospital will all require a variety of skilled health professionals to meet the demands of Australia’s growing population."
