Australia is seeking skilled professionals within the general skilled migration program. These visas are for people who have skills in particular occupations required in Australia and wish to migrate to Australia.
Applicants must be over 18 years and generally under 45 years of age. There are some exceptions to the age requirement and we can assist you with obtaining a suitable visa if you meet certain criteria. You must have good English language ability and recent skilled work experience or have completed an Australian qualification which makes you eligible for the visa.
There is a range of visa options including visas sponsored by Australian employers, relatives living in Australia, or where you are nominated by a State or Territory government in Australia.
If you are sponsored there are a number of obligations that the sponsor must comply with under Australian Migration law.
