      3 Ways to Stay Ahead of Skilled Worker Migration Changes in Australia

      Here’s how you can stay on top of the frequent changes in migration policies and maximise the wealth of opportunities available in Australia.  

      If you’re a medical professional looking to migrate to Australia, staying on top of the frequent changes in migration policies is key. With healthcare professionals always in demand, there are plenty of opportunities - if you know how to navigate the system. Here’s how you can stay ahead of the game and maximise the wealth of opportunities available in Australia:

      1. Keep an Eye on the Core Skills Occupation Lists

      Australia updates its Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) regularly. This list denotes which professions are in demand and eligible for skilled visas. Medical professionals like doctors, nurses and allied health workers often top the list, but they can move around depending on what the labour market needs. If your profession is on the list, you're good to go - so keep checking for updates!

      1. Get Help from a Registered Migration Agent

      The migration process can get a bit tricky, especially with the rules and paperwork involved. That’s where a registered migration agent comes in. These experts can guide you through the whole process, from making sure your qualifications are recognised by the Australian Medical Council (AMC) or AHPRA, to helping with your visa application. They’re also up to date with the latest changes, so you don’t miss anything important.

      1. See a Different Side of Australia

      If you’re open to living outside Australia’s major cities, regional areas are consistently in need of medical professionals. There are special visa pathways like the Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491) and the RSMS that offer extra benefits, like quicker processing times and easier eligibility. Plus, it could be a great way to get permanent residency down the line.

      In short, keep an eye on the occupation lists, get expert help from a registered migration agent (MARN: 1795080), and don’t overlook regional opportunities. These steps will make your Australian medical migration journey much smoother.
