Immigration Assistance

457 Assistance

In Australia a person may only lawfully give immigration assistance if he or she is a registered migration agent or is exempt from being registered. Only registered migration agents may receive a fee or reward for providing immigration assistance.

If an unregistered person in Australia, who is not exempt from registration, gives you immigration assistance they are committing a criminal offence and may be prosecuted.

The surprising jobs Australia is so keen for migrants to fill that they’re offering permanent residency

  • 79,600 spaces are available for the Skilled Migration scheme in 2020-2021
  • 17 occupations have been prioritised in the health, construction and IT sectors 
  • This includes nurses, doctors, midwives, software engineers and programmers

Skilled workers are in such short supply the federal government is offering qualified migrants permanent residency. 

A total of 17 occupations have been identified on the federal government’s priority migration skilled occupation list to help Australia recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Immigration authorities will prioritise workers in the healthcare, construction and information technology industries. 
The list includes nurses, doctors, midwives, psychiatrists, software engineers,  computer programmers and mechanical engineers. 

Acting Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs Alan Tudge said the changes would strike the right balance for Australia’s economic recovery.

‘Our priority is getting Australians back into work but we also need key health workers to help fight the virus and skilled migrants who are going to be job multipliers, to help the economy recover,’ Mr Tudge said. 

The occupations were selected out of more than 200 on the Department of Home Affairs Skills List granting residency under the Skilled Migration Scheme.

The skilled migration program is offering 79,600 places for 2020-2021. 

The scheme falls under the 189 Skilled Independent Visa and allows workers to apply for permanent residency after three years. 

Applicants must be under the age of 45 and pass a skill and language test to lodge an expression of interest for the visa.   

Alternative pathways to migration involve gaining sponsorship from an employer or government authorities. 

The nominated visa, or the subclass 190 visa, offers permanent residency for skilled workers who have been nominated by state government authorities to live in Australia. 

The Department of Home Affairs Skilled Migration scheme for 2020-2021 is offering 79,600 visas across 200 different jobs. 

But due to COVID-19 it’s likely many less visas will be granted to prioritise getting unemployed Australians into work.

The following 17 occupations were identified as priorities to help bolster the nation’s economy in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic:

Chief Executive or Managing Director 

Construction Project Manager  

Mechanical Engineer 

General Practitioner 

Resident Medical Officer

Psychiatrist 

Medical Practitioner nec
