Along with these position are available for dental professionals, including dentists and dental assistants, especially in rural and remote areas.

According to Government Health and Welfare Institutions, the demand for health services is outpacing the growth of the workforce, driven by factors such as an ageing population and increasing chronic conditions.

Nursing & Midwifery

There are a lot of different factors that come into play and mean that Australasia is a suitable destination for any registered nurse or other medical staff looking for somewhere to move to and work.

Due to it being a growing industry coupled with the fact that there are quite a number of nurses and medical employees who will be reaching retirement age soon, there is an increased demand for nurses, giving high occupational ceilings for roles in this sector.

Age and Disability Carers

Jobs in this sector are some of the most sought-after occupations for skilled migration, due to both countries aging population.

Age and disability care offers not just job security to migrants looking for stable, purposeful careers, but also supports national policy objectives that centre on increasing access to quality care.

Mental Health & Counselling Workers

The need for psychologists, counsellors, and social workers has increased due to post-pandemic mental health issues and more public awareness surrounding the matter. The need for trained professionals has increased as a result of both governments investment into mental health reforms, which includes initiatives like Headspace and Better Access.

This industry gives qualified migrants the opportunity to contribute to a national goal that is altering communities across the country, in addition to long-term job stability.
