MIGRATION PROGRAM TARGETING SKILLS
Posted October 27, 2010



Australia’s migration program continues to target the skills Australia needs for a healthy economy, Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Chris Bowen MP, announced today.

Launching the Report on Migration Program 2009-10, Mr Bowen said the Government’s targeted approach to overseas workers was helping to fill critical skills gaps in the healthcare, engineering, financial services and IT sectors.

More than 60 per cent of the skill stream outcome comprised applicants under the targeted categories, including those who were sponsored by either an employer or state/territory government – a 12 per cent increase on the previous program year.

The total outcome for the 2009-10 migration program was 168,623 places (0.05 per cent below the planning level). The 2009-10 skill stream outcome of 107,868 places accounted for 64 per cent of the total migration program.

The skilled program planning level was reduced in the 2009-10 Budget to 108,100 in response to the continued economic slowdown through most of 2009.

Despite this, the proportion of overseas workers who were sponsored by employers continued to rise, comprising 38 per cent of the 2009-10 skill stream, compared to 33 per cent in 2008-09 and 22 per cent in the 2007-08 program year.  

“This outcome is consistent with the Government’s focus on high-demand, employer-sponsored professionals in areas where Australia has critical skill shortages,” Mr Bowen said.  

“The program met the Government's objective of sharpening the focus on skilled migration and targeting the needs of Australian industries and employers.”

The migration program showed that across all permanent skilled visa categories, the top three occupations were accountants (6,734), computing professionals (5,370) and registered nurses (3,960) while the top three countries of citizenship for these categories were the United Kingdom (18,487), India (18,042) and China (14,505).

The Government announced in the 2010-11 Budget that the overall level of skilled migration would increase by 5,750 places to further address Australia’s needs as the economic climate improves. This will increase the proportion of skilled migrants to 67.5 per cent of the migration program.

The top three countries of citizenship under the family stream were China (10,218), the United Kingdom (7,229) and India (5,103).

Overall, the United Kingdom remains Australia’s largest source of migrants with a total outcome of 25,738 or 15 per cent of the total migration program in 2009-10, with China  (24,768) and India (23,164) following closely behind.

The Report on Migration Program 2009-10 is available on the Department of Immigration and Citizenship Website at www.immi.gov.au/media/statistics/statistical-info/visa-grants/

The Minister also revealed that refugees from Burma, Iraq and Bhutan are among the 13,770 vulnerable people starting a new life in Australia through the 2009­–10 humanitarian program. The planning level was 13,750 places.

The figures reveal that of these 13,770 people, Burma has 1,959 humanitarian visa grants, Iraq 1,688 and Bhutan 1,144.  

“These refugees had fled violence and persecution in their home countries,” Mr Bowen said.  

“Many had been living in volatile and insecure situations, both in camps and urban environments.  

“As a responsible member of the international community, Australia contributes to the system of international refugee protection. This is something of which we in Australia can all be proud as we have provided refuge and hope for 13,770 people.”

不知道选民会不会生气？
