Australa's New Skilled Migration Selection Model for 2012

Posted by Feerojkumar On 04:51 No comments


Australia will introduce a new Skilled Migrant Selection Model in July 2012 in one of the biggest changes to the Australian immigration system in years.

The new SkillSelect model will see Australia move to a system similar to that used by New Zealand, and based upon an Expression of Interest (EOI). People applying for a Skilled Migrant visa will first have to register their claims for skilled migration through an online Expression of Interest (EOI), and may then be invited to make an immigration application – a process that could take up to six months.

Under the current system, applicants for independent or state/territory sponsored migration can submit an immigration application immediately as long as they meet all requirements. Once the new model comes into effect on 1 July 2012, they will first require an invitation from Australian immigration to lodge a visa application.

Australian Immigration Minister Chris Bowen said: "It is critical that Australia's skilled migration program is driven by Australia's skills needs, rather than the desires of prospective migrants."

"That's why the government will introduce a new model for selecting skilled migrants to better target Australia's future skill needs."

Mr Bowen said the new system would be more equitable for migrants, and would deliver stronger outcomes for employers who weren’t able to fill their skilled positions locally.

The following Australian immigration visa categories will be affected by the new Skilled Migrant Selection Model:

Applicants living outside Australia:
  • Subclass 475 Skilled Regional Sponsored
  • Subclass 175 Skilled Independent
  • Subclass 176 Skilled Sponsored
Applicants already living in Australia:
  • Subclass 487 Skilled Regional Sponsored
  • Subclass 885 Skilled Independent
  • Subclass 886 Skilled Sponsored
The new system is expected to come into effect 1 July 2012.

Visa eligibility and approval depends on the applicant's individual circumstances.To find out if you're eligible for a General Skilled Migration visa, take Working In's free online eligibility assessment.
