Cuts to the Australian Skilled Migration Program – 23rd March 2009
The Minister for Immigration and Citizenship issued a press release on 16th March announcing a 14% decrease in the intake for permanent skilled migration for the 2008-2009 program year (which runs until 30 June 2009). The program intake for the permanent skilled migration program has been decreased from 133,500 to 115,000. In short, for those considering permanent skilled migration as individuals, this means that almost all building and manufacturing trades occupations, such as carpenters and plumbers, have been removed from the 'critical skills list'. The critical skills list provides a list of occupations whereby general skilled migration visa applicants will have the best chance of their visa applications being considered before 30 June 2009 (this date being the end of the Australian financial year and the 2008-2009 'migration program' year).
The remaining occupations in demand on the critical skills list are principally from the IT, engineering and health sectors. The health sector dominates the list of occupations, making up approximately half the list. There are some occupations listed which fall outside health, IT and engineering: namely secondary school teachers, urban and regional planners, surveyors, and a limited number of trades - gasfitters, radio and television repairers as well as wall and roof tilers.
It is important to remember that at the current time the general skilled migration program for individual applicants is still based on visa applicants requiring a skill that is listed on the 'skilled occupation list', which lists many more occupations than the critical skills list. Therefore it is still possible to apply for a general skilled migration visa if a person has a particular skilled occupation which is on the skilled occupation list, but not on the critical skills list. However if this is the case, long waits can be expected for processing of the visa application.
