Thread: Overseas Skills Registry – a new way to connect with Victorian employers

Skilled migrants and overseas qualified professionals have a new way to connect with Victorian employers. The Victorian Government’s Overseas Skills Registry is a new online initiative service that connects skilled migrants and overseas qualified professionals with Victorian employers who have vacancies in areas of demand.

Overseas qualified professionals and skilled migrants can profile their skills, qualifications and work experience on the registry. Victorian employers will be able to access the registry and make contact directly with individuals who have registered.

The registry is currently open to state nominated skilled migrants (primary visa holders only) and international student graduates with previous professional work experience. The registry will be open to other overseas qualified professionals and tradespeople by December 2013.

Will that lead to company sponsorship for overseas professionals in December ?

The December release will open the Overseas Skills Registry to other overseas qualified professionals. All skilled workers is this group must be living in Victoria, have skills or qualifications recognised in Australia and hold either a permanent visa or a subclass 309, 475, 495, 300 or 444.

As all skilled workers on the Overseas Skills Registry have an Australian work visa, there is not a requirement from an employer perspective to sponsor the skilled worker.
