AVERAGE SALARY IN AUSTRALIA

There is a huge shortage for qualified engineers, IT professionals, Trade persons, Teachers, Accountant, Health professionals and nurses in Australia. Since population is less the current graduates of Australian universities and colleges are insufficient to meet the demands of employers. So the above professionals are highly demanded in Australia and these professionals are continuously listed in Skilled Occupation List (PR Demand List) for permanent residency (PR). Australian government through its migration program gives opportunity for qualified professionals to migrate to Australia each year for filling their vacancies.

The Australian Migration program applications are processed based on Skilled Occupation Demand List of the Government of Australia and State or Territory Skilled Occupation Demand List. Candidates who make applications based on skilled occupation demand list can apply for visa under Skilled Independent visa and are able to settle in any state or territory in Australia. Applicants who apply based on State or territory skilled occupation demand list can apply for visa under Skilled Nominated Visa and are only able to settle in the particular state nominated. Once the nomination period is over applicants are able to settle in any other state of their choice. Skilled Nominated visa is an important option for Australian Permanent Residency and has lower requirement compared to Skilled Independent Visa. Australian states like New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia and territories like Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory have their own skilled occupation demand list and are able to support skilled nominated visa. Skilled Nominated Visa allows Australian States/Territories to nominate individuals who wish to immigrate to Australia to settle in their area.
