Australia to make big changes in its immigration system; skilled workers to benefit
Australia has decided to change its immigration system on Thursday (April 27, 2023) to give permanent place to more and more skilled workers in the country. The country has proposed to make the process related to it easier for the skilled workers. According to a report by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, about 4,39,700 people from India are working in the country as permanent migrants. India has also left China behind in this matter. At the same time, millions of Indians are expected to benefit from this decision of Australia.
Australia’s federal government has said the current system used to select skilled workers will simplify numbers tests. This will be revised to identify people with the right skills. This is considered necessary to advance the Australian economy.
Many flaws in our immigration system – Australia
Australia’s Home Minister Claire O’Neill said in a speech at the National Club that ‘there are many flaws in our immigration system. They are working to make our businesses unsuccessful. Creating difficulties for the people of other countries living here. Most importantly, it is not a good thing for Australians either.’
Australia has taken necessary steps in the month of September last year to help businesses facing a widespread shortage of staff. The Australian government increased the number of permanent residents to 195,000 in this financial year which is an increase 35,000 as against the earlier number. Earlier this number was 160,000.
Increase in the amount of migrant laborers
The Australian government has promised to increase more staff and money to speed up the visa process as well. The Australian government said that from July 1 this year, the amount of migrant wage limit for temporary skilled workers stuck at the same level since 2013 will be increased from $53,900 to $70,000.
There is a lot of demand in any country especially for Indian workers. America also gives priority to Indians for H 1B visa in America.
