Are you looking for better employment opportunities in any of the top most overseas nations of the world? If you are, then Australia would be the right choice for you. Popularly known as the land of Kangaroos, this beautiful country is famous for its great culture and well established social structure.

Officially, this popular country is known as Commonwealth of Australia, situated in the Southern Hemisphere. Australia is the sixth-largest country of the world by total area. This highly developed nation is the 13th largest economy and 7th highest per capital income across the world.

According to the Chamber of Minerals and Energy of Western Australia, there is an urgent need for more skilled migrants to manage the skilled labour required in the resources industry.

It also mentioned that the increased investment is a motivating factor for overseas workers to immigrate to a nation. It is predicted that only in Western Australia, investments about AUD $300 billion can be seen.

Reg Howard-Smith, the CME CEO, expressed that according to a recent study, Western Australia will be in need of between 30,000 and 34,000 new skilled personnels in the coming years.

He also said that to provide a framework, there are at present over 85,000 direct employees in the whole resources industry, while before 5 years, it was only 44,000. Apart from this, if anyone thinks that for each direct employee, there will be four indirect employees, the individual gets a sense of the confronting the sector and the state.

Mr. Howard-Smith suggested three effective ways that will be helpful in dealing with the shortages of skilled migrants in that region of Australia. Such as:

• Ensuring if a workforce is trained, maintained and developed
• Enhancing the number of participating under-represented groups (for instance: women and native people) and
• Ensuring skilled migrants access

If you wish to migrate to Australia as a skilled migrant, then there are various routes that you can choose for you. It includes employer-sponsored temporary migration and independent skilled migration. However, if you apply for Australia Immigration under Independent Skilled Migration category, then a specific job offer from an Australian employer won’t be required for you. The best thing is that most of these programs issue permanent residence. Once you obtain the Permanent Residence status in Australia, you will be able to work and live in the country permanently.
