Welsh Teachers and Builders Invited to Relocate to Australia

South Australia’s Recruitment Drive in the UK

South Australia is currently looking for skilled workers through an exciting recruitment initiative aimed at professionals from various fields in the UK. This campaign focuses on attracting individuals in healthcare, education, construction, and public services, showcasing the opportunities that await in Australia.

What to Expect from the Roadshow

The Move to South Australia UK Roadshow will kick off next month, hosting events in major cities such as London, Birmingham, Newport, Manchester, and Glasgow. These fairs will provide a platform for potential migrants to meet employers who are eager to sponsor skilled workers.

Addressing Skills Shortages

This initiative is crucial in addressing the current skills gaps in South Australia. There is a growing demand for professionals in fields like healthcare and education, and the state is keen on promoting its high quality of life and job prospects. For example, Clarette Goodhead, who moved from Birmingham to South Australia, reported a significant salary increase as an educator, stating, “My earnings doubled, and I have a better work-life balance.” Veterinarian Joy Clarke also expressed relief at the reduced educational pressures on children compared to the UK.

A Welcoming Environment in South Australia

Many newcomers to South Australia comment on the friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Recent migrant Rebecca Barton mentioned how living costs, especially fuel, are much lower than in the UK, saying, “My life has improved enormously since making the move.”

Opportunities for Skilled Migrants

Attendees at the roadshow will have the opportunity to connect with employers looking to fill various positions, potentially leading to visa sponsorship. For instance, some roles might qualify for the 482 visa, which allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia for up to four years. The event will also provide valuable information on paths to permanent residency for those wishing to settle long-term.

Important Dates for the Roadshow

• London: Saturday, 11th October (10 am and 1 pm)
• Newport: Sunday, 12th October (1 pm)
• Birmingham: Tuesday, 14th October (1 pm and 5 pm)
