Western Australia Has The Best Budget Performance

The West Australian premier has championed his government’s COVID-era economic management after global credit rating agency S&P deemed the State’s economy the best in the world — maybe one of the considerations one can look at when thinking of which state to settle for his/her migration plans to Australia from Singapore.

But Mark McGowan also encouraged the federal government to give tailored support to pandemic-hit businesses when JobKeeper ends in late March.

How Australia Deals With The Pandemic?

How Australia Deals With The Pandemic?

We’re only left with 4 months until the end of the current financial year.

Moving forward to 1st July 2021, and with the current situation of borders still being closed, the target is still onshore applicants. With the fear that people from overseas may spread the virus again, they have announced the extension of strict border closure until June. Whatever happens after June is still uncertain — if the situation goes on like this, the State is left with no choice, and the Department of Home Affairs is also left with no choice.

Just on the 8^th March 2021, from an Interview with Scott Morrison, the State has already addressed the biggest economic challenge that it is facing when it comes to increasing the scale, capacity, and skills of its workforce. If the situation ends up like this for the long term, Australia will have a lot of skill shortage, and a lot of problems will come in, affecting major sectors and education.

Mr. Morrison then suggested that once the COVID situation gets a little bit better and migration resumes, the migration program will be adjusted to meet growing needs, such as care and nursing care where local workers are scarce.

“We need to reconsider the role that temporary visa holders play in meeting the labor needs of our economy when Australians do not occupy these jobs,” he said. He then abruptly added that the state may still experience this economic downturn after the pandemic.

Whether they approve visa or not, we don’t have any control over it.

With Immigration being halted and uncertainties still lingering, migrants-to-be are in limbo when it comes to making decisions to pursue their application. We, at NTRUST, always believe in the concept of “just in case”, where we all need to be resilient and understand to doing what we should do not when we badly need them the most, but because we wanted to be ready and to secure ourselves from further setbacks. To this extent, getting yourself a visa to Australia is probably the best insurance policy that you and your family can buy.

It pays to be proactive than to be reactive when we live in a very risky global situation that demands speed and flexibility.

Addressing Australia Skills Shortage: A Shed of Light

With the goal to help businesses employ staff and for the economy to recover, the Australian government will review its Skilled Migration Programme.

According to the report, the Parliament’s joint standing committee on migration will review the regulations to determine who are the best applicants to be given skilled visas to enter Australia.

Due to the border restrictions implemented, 2,720 people arrived in Australia on permanent skilled visas in December 2020, compared to 34,770 in the same period a year earlier. Also, there has been a noticeable 11% dropped in skilled visa stream applications lodged in 2019-20 compared to its previous year.

According to the report, with the goal to support migrants in making Australia their home, ACCI’s employment Director Jenny Lambert suggested that migrants who were already in Australia on other employer-sponsored skilled visas should be given a pathway to permanency.

What Migrants Say About Australia?

What Migrants Say About Australia?

Migrants still plays the bigger part in the population growth of Australia. Just in 2019, 7.5 million migrants are noted to be living in Australia where those born in England remains the largest migrant group, not to mention the growing number of migrants from Asia.

As we commemorate the Australia Day, here are some of the stories from some of the migrants:

Nibal ElBshara, Syria

Not so long ago when Nibal made her first moved to Australia; she sought humanitarian visa together with her two brothers and arrived in 2017.

Nibal had a tough time on her first few months, especially dealing with the Australian Accent. She grew up having English as her second language, but she struggled getting used to the Australian accent and slang.

However, there are so many things to be grateful for the moment she realized she is really in the land Down Under.

What Racism?

Nibal was so worried about getting back to her new career path in Australia after leaving Syria as an employee in a retail pharmacy. Luckily, she has gotten assistance from CareerSeekers organization for refugees. She can’t help but reminisce about the employment situation back in Syria where hierarchy and formality is such big issues. In Australia, according to Nibal, everyone treats each other on the same level despite the pay grades. What she truly love about moving across is the acceptance that she got. That certainly is testament that Australia is the is the world’s most successful multicultural society.

Jennifer Vandekreeke, United States

It was just supposed to be a reconnaissance mission for Jennifer when she first set foot in Australia. That tour changed her life forever. She loves how laidback the country is, with all the beautiful beaches out there.

She has lived in 5 countries across four continents, and never had imagined making the big move to Australia. Jennifer, together with the kids and husband, arrived on Australia Day in 2011; now celebrating their 10th year as Aussies.

During the initial period, Jennifer already had this perception about the Australians, which she thought is way better than the Americans. For her, Australians are friendly, fun-loving, and open-minded people. Example that she gave is how Australians start the day in a work meeting, where social chats are present to give the work environment a congenial atmosphere.

These are just only a few of the migrants’ stories showing how grateful they are about making the big decision of moving across to Australia. Australia Day celebrations aim to reflect the diverse society and landscape of the nation.
Who knows you might be able to spend and celebrate the next Australia day there?
