Australian Skill Shortage
A 2022 Australian government-commissioned report into the Australian workforce revealed a significant skills shortage affecting the country. The number of occupations suffering from the skills shortage has almost doubled since 2021, with some roles having thousands of unfilled vacancies. Although the current
figures create a new challenge for the Australian Government, this issue of skills shortages has been a feature of Australian life for several years. It looks set to continue in the future.
The Australian government is looking at how this latest skills gap can be addressed, including making possible changes to immigration policies. This blog explores what issues exist and how skills shortages mean more immigrants may have the opportunity to move to Australia.
Australia wants workers from various industries, especially health, education, infrastructure, ICT and technology, to make the intelligent move Down Under. With the Australian Government fast-tracking visa applications from people outside the country, now is the time to turn your Aussie dream into reality.
A skill shortage is sweeping the nation as Australian businesses need to be more staff. The “Australian Financial Review” has calculated that as much as 85% of all Australian companies report staffing shortages. In a similar article, “The Guardian” has announced a vacancy rate of 20.3% regardless of industry. Whilst this is bad for Australian businesses, this is an opportunity for you to be the missing puzzle piece in a business’s success!
This leaves our businesses vulnerable to failing and our economy suffering; no one wants that.
