SkillSelect is a
major change to how Australia manages its skilled migration program.
SkillSelect helps to
ensure the skilled migration program is based on the economic needs of
Australia. It will support the Australian Government in managing who can apply
for skilled migration, when they can apply and in what numbers. As a result, we
expect to significantly reduce the time taken to process a visa application.
SkillSelect will also
help address regional skill shortages. SkillSelect allows intending migrants to
indicate if they are willing to live and work in regional Australia. This will
be of particular benefit to employers experiencing regional skill shortages and
state and territory governments attempting to settle migrants in regional
Australia.
SkillSelect is an
online service that enables skilled workers and business people interested in
migrating to Australia to record their details to be considered for a skilled
visa through an Expression of Interest (EOI). Intending migrants can then be
found and nominated for skilled visas by Australian employers or state and
territory governments, or they may be invited by the Australian Government to
lodge a visa application.
From 1 July 2012, all
intending migrants interested in the points based skilled migration or business
investment and innovation visa programs will be required to submit an EOI and
receive an invitation in order to lodge a visa application.
