Australia has one of the world's lowest unemployment rates at about 5.1 percent, said employment minister Simon Crean in a recent Finance Markets article.
Foreigners need work visas to move to Australia for their careers. Visa options include skilled sponsored work visas, skilled independent (migrant) work visas, and short-term working holiday visas.
The Australian government looks favorably on visa applicants with prearranged jobs in the country. Those with prearranged jobs should apply for sponsored work visas under the employer nomination scheme.
Those who want to find jobs after moving to Australia should apply for skilled independent migrant visas at the Department of Immigration and Citizenship's website.
The working holiday visa is for applicants between the ages of 18 and 30 who want to work in Australia for up to 12 months.
The Australian government has a Skill Matching Database for work visa applicants. Future migrants can upload their work information to the database. Australian employers search the database and may offer migrants jobs even before they arrive.
