AREEA is collating the member input and evidence provided to support our ongoing consultations with both the Minister and Department of Immigration and Border Protection on priority occupations for skilled migration access.

The feedback is being incorporated into a detailed briefing to be provided to the government this week.

AREEA is ensuring the Minister and key advisers understand the full impacts of its recent restructuring of Australia’s skilled migration programs and prioritises those occupations which resource employers are in most need of continued access.

Thank you for the prompt response we received. We will provide ongoing updates as developments occur.
