Australia needs Skilled Tradesmen and Women Immigrants!

Do you want to migrate to Australia? Are you an experienced skilled tradesman or tradeswoman looking for a job in the Australian construction industry?

Experienced tradesmen and women are in demand in a number of key construction jobs in Queensland and New South Wales. Tradesmen from the UK are in particularly high demand. You can apply for entry on the basis of a skilled nominated 190 subclass visa or skilled independent subclass visa 189 which will give you Australian permanent residence. In some cases the Australian temporary work subclass 457 visa may also be worth considering. Processing times for skilled immigration visas can be as little as three to six months. It could be even less than that for 457 temporary work visas.

There are currently Australian employers looking for prospective immigrants in the following occupations:
