Ensuring Fibre Technologists 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 Fibre Technologists and if they need to bring in Fibre Technologists from overseas to fill any potential shortage skills gaps. This report states the number of overseas a Fibre Technologists 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, Fibre Technologists are on the STSOL list. Being on this list means a Fibre Technologist may qualify for one of the following visa streams:
- 186, 189 (PT), 190, 407, 485 (GW),491 (F), 491 (S/T), TSS (M), 494

Navigating the Australian Nursing & Midwifery Accreditation Council Limited Skills Assessment Process
For Fibre Technologists, 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.
