For a Liaison Officer Emigrating to Australia

Welcome to our guide on the Australian skills assessment process for a Liaison Officer. Before we examine the skills required to be recognised as a Liaison Officer it may be helpful to explain that the skills assessment is the first step of the emigration process. The skills Assessment of a Liaison Officer determines their eligibility to emigrate and the visa options available. Ultimately, it will affect their employment opportunities once they are in Australia.

While we appreciate that each case is unique, we always strive to secure the best possible outcome from the Skills Assessing Authorities in Australia. Experience has proven that efforts and expertise in this area are often the keys to a successful case.

Ensuring Liaison Officers Are In High Demand

Every skilled migrant wants to know they will be able to secure a job quickly and easily when they are in Australia. The Australian emigration system ensures that they can.

Each year, State Governments and the two territorial Governments report to the federal government on their local demand for Liaison Officers and if they need to bring in Liaison Officers from overseas to fill any potential shortage skills gaps. This report states the number of overseas a Liaison Officers required in the coming year to fill the skills gap within each region.

The Skills in demand are then broken down into priority lists. These lists range from those skills in high demand across the country to those skills with only limited demand within rural areas.

Curently, Liaison Officers are on the Regional list. Being on this list means a Liaison Officer may qualify for one of the following visa streams:

• 190, 407, 491 (S/T), TSS (S), 494

Navigating the Australian Pharmacy Council Limited Skills Assessment Process

For Liaison Officers, the skills assessing body is “Australian Pharmacy Council Limited” they are often referred to as the APharmC. To visit their site, follow the link: https://www.pharmacycouncil.org.au

It is important to note that the primary purpose of the Australian Pharmacy Council Limited is to make a profit and protect their current members from migrants entering Australia, taking their members’ jobs, and driving down standards or wages.

Therefore, the APharmC will often look to delay, frustrate and reject cases, preventing accreditations wherever possible, with those aims in mind.
