31 May 2022 Australia | Changes impacting employment related migration as of 1 July 2022 Australia’s borders have now been open to fully vaccinated travelers for three months. However, visa application processing has not resumed its pre-pandemic pace and skill shortages continue across the Australian economy. While the newly elected Government has a greater focus on protecting local employment opportunities and working conditions as well as protecting temporary workers, skilled migration to address Australia’s skills shortages remains a key feature of immigration policy.
