Victoria State Sponsorship Program is influenced by 2 state specific required trade tabulations i.e. required trade tabulation for tradesmen and professionals and required trade Tabulation for graduates. Both the tabulations indicate the trends of labor requirements in provincial labor pool. There is more of an inclination towards attracting highly qualified and well trained professionals in technical trades and fields as there is an acute deficit situation in state labor pool as well as the national labor pool.
Provincial authorities consistently conduct research and evaluation of prevalent situation of industries and sectors to ascertain situation of labor availability and deduce labor requirements required in each profession. This exercise helps the authorities to pinpoint and indicate precisely the trades and fields that require an infusion of overseas talent to fulfill the trade qualification deficit and boost the productivity of provincial economy.
This also helps several industries and sectors to selectively choose and induct migrants who are best qualified for employment in the specified fields.
Currently the Victoria State Sponsorship Program focuses primarily on
- Construction sector that needs a constant supply of advanced professionals and basic tradesmen
- Tradesmen specializing in electrical, electronics and communications
- Biotechnology and scientific specialists in capacity of R&D professionals, geologists, physicists, scientists, statisticians and technologists
- People at managerial levels and ranks in financial and Human resource departments
- ICT professionals ranging from programmers to administrators and engineers
- Hospitality and tourism needs managerial staff and chefs
- Medicine and health professionals and specialists
- Health and social support practitioners and support staff
- Educationists
- Aviation professionals and technical tradesmen etc
Graduates who have accomplished their academics in some Australian institution or a globally recognized international establishment are being offered nominations in fields of biotechnology and medicine and health support services.
The nomination is extended to people under 2 streams i.e. recommendation for permanent residential permission and recommendation for temporary residential permit. If you are selected for endorsement under permanent class then you will have an unrestricted freedom to reside anywhere within the boundaries of the province and that include Melbourne also while people getting nomination recommendation for temporary residential permit must reside and work within the non urban territory of the province (excluding Melbourne).
Besides granting nomination to the trained manpower under Victoria State Sponsorship Scheme, authorities also encourage people with an intention of shifting their finances and business establishment to province. To bring in fresh business expertise and funds, nomination is granted to investing individuals and business owners who have expressed their interest in parking their funds in state designated investment venues or establish new enterprise of takeover an existing business within the state. The nomination for such individuals is granted under the business and innovation and business talent schemes of Department of Immigration and Citizenship – DIAC.
The business and investment entry arrangements have been defined in 2 streams i.e. permanent and temporary. General investors are allowed to enter the state on basis of temporary nomination statutes. Temporary nominations contain certain conditional provisions which are removed once pre conditions specified and indicated in the permits are met. On this event, the status of emigrating business owners and investing individuals is advanced to the permanent.
Foreign emigrating investing individuals and business owners with substantial financial credentials are granted nomination recommendations on permanent provisions.
The assessment parameters for Victoria State Nomination have been clearly outlined and each emigration aspirant must fulfill these in order to obtain endorsement from provincial authorities.
