Australia's Department of Immigration and Citizenship has announced they will be hosting two informational sessions in London for skilled workers in the UK to enable them to find new opportunities to emigrate and work in Australia.
"Skills Australia Needs events help address current skill shortages in areas of occupational demand in Australia, particularly health care, engineering and select trade occupations," a departmental spokesman said. "Interested skilled workers can apply to attend the events, however, only those with recognised qualifications and experience in one of the occupations targeted will be selected."
Australian employers and immigration officials will have the opportunity to meet with skilled UK workers and explain the options and benefits of emigrating to Australia. Australian employers and state or territory governments who have employment and sponsorship opportunities in the targeted occupations may participate in Skills Australia Needs events to meet potential skilled workers in the UK.

Registration begins 1 December 2011. Australian immigration officials will invite only those skilled workers who register their interest and who are assessed as having the requisite skills and qualifications in the targeted occupations to attend the information sessions. Entry will be free of charge.
