The Government will provide capital funding of $388,000 in 2005-06 to develop a system to enable prospective skilled migrants to be matched with vacancies which have not been filled by the Australian labour market. Visa applicants who have completed a Migrant Vocational Profile will be able to be matched with vacancies in occupations identified as having long term labour shortages and which have not been filled four weeks after listing on the Government’s Australian Job Search employment database.
The Government will also provide related funding of $195,000 in 2005-06 for activities associated with the development of the system and to develop information material to support its implementation.
