Ensuring Faculty Heads 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 Faculty Heads and if they need to bring in Faculty Heads from overseas to fill any potential shortage skills gaps. This report states the number of overseas a Faculty Heads 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, Faculty Heads are on the MLTSSL list. Being on this list means a Faculty Head may qualify for one of the following visa streams:

• 190, 407, 491 (S/T), TSS (S), 494

Navigating the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Accreditation Council Limited Skills Assessment Process

For Faculty Heads, the skills assessing body is “Australian Nursing & Midwifery Accreditation Council Limited” they are often referred to as the ANMAC. To visit their site, follow the link: >https://www.anmac.org.au

It is important to note that the primary purpose of the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Accreditation 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.
