Skilled Migration to Australia's South West

The South West is developing rapidly.

More and more people choose Australia's South West as a place to live because of lifestyle and business opportunities.

Major investment is taking place in natural resources and infrastructure projects. As a result, many businesses in the construction, engineering, hospitality and health services industries are looking for skilled employees.

It is widely acknowledged that the South West faces a shortage of specific skilled labour. Many businesses are now hiring skilled labour from overseas.

The South West Development Commission has a team in place to facilitate skilled migration for the benefit of local business and industry.

People with relevant skills and qualifications are invited to speak to us to identify businesses that have vacancies that are hard to fill with local people.

For further information about how to sponsor a skilled migrant, please view Migration Info for Business.

Further information for prospective skilled migrants can be viewed on the page Info for Migrants.
