Priority Migration for Critical Sectors - Australia's Pandemic Response

Demand for Health, Allied Health and other critical sectors professionals in beautiful rural Australia is on the rise, following the COVID-19 pandemic. One of Australia's enduring response to the pandemic, will be to look to migrants to fill jobs in critical sectors. There are many occupations in the Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List, with many more occupations still to be added, as Australia navigates a post COVID recovery future.

The Parliamentary Joint Standing Committee on Migration recently recommended that the Australian Government reserve places on flights and in quarantine for skilled migrants and the establishment by the Government of a global marketing campaign to attract global talent and investment. The Committee also recommends that the Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List be expanded urgently to include Chefs, Veterinarians, Café and Restaurant Managers and Seafarers.
