Skill Select | Australian Immigration
The new Skill Select program, scheduled to commence on 1 July 2012, will consist of an electronic skilled migrant selection register that will use the new Points Test system to streamline the selection of the best and brightest skilled migrants from a pool of prospective migrants who have registered on the database.
The Skill Select program will be based on a two-stage electronic process in which prospective migrants first submit an expression of their interest to work in Australia, and are then invited by DIAC to submit a skilled migration visa application if their skills and attributes match Australia’s needs.
Employers will also be able to access the Skill Select database. This will allow them to match with and contact prospective migrants who are suitable to fill vacant positions in their businesses. The Skill Select database will also make it clear which prospective migrants have expressed an interest in living and working in regional Australia.
