Australian Occupations in Demand

Australian residency links; just for my friends in the UK and Ireland here are the current in demand occupations for Skilled and Proffesional persons.
Migration Occupations Demand List
Australia is currently experiencing a significant demand for professional and tradepersons.
The Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, Senator Amanda Vanstone has recently revised the Migration Occupations Demand List (MODL) which now includes the occupations listed below.

These occupations all attract 60 points for skill and are in demand throughout Australia
Therefore, if you are able to evidence employment in your nominated occupation for 3 out of the 4 years before applying (Specific Work Experience) for a visa and you speak fluent English, you will automatically reach the passmark of 120 points under the Skilled Independent category.
This means that you can apply for permanent residence and reside anywhere in Australia.
Points are awarded for Skill (60), age (30-15), English (20), SWE (10) and MODL (15-20)
Both Trades Recognition Australia and the Adelaide Skilled Processing Centre afford priority processing to occupations featured on the MODL.
The Australian Newspapers carry a significant number of vacancies and to see what demand there is for your nominated occupation, please click on the link below or talk to Concept Australia.
