Ensuring Network Programmers 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 Network Programmers and if they need to bring in Network Programmers from overseas to fill any potential shortage skills gaps. This report states the number of overseas a Network Programmers 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, Network Programmers are on the MLTSSL list. Being on this list means a Network Programmer may qualify for one of the following visa streams:
- 190, 407, 491 (S/T), TSS (S), 494

It is important to note that the primary purpose of the Vocational Education and Training Assessment Services is to make a profit and protect their current members from migrants entering Australia, taking their members’ jobs, and driving down standards or wages.
