Trained professionals across multiple fields are being sought to work in Australia.
Industry representatives from Australia will be visiting Ireland this month in search of workers to fill 31,000 vacancies across the country.
Trained professionals across multiple fields, including doctors, teachers, nurses, police, dentistry, and hospitality, are being scouted.
Multiple trade roles are also open, with vacancies for plumbers, builders, mechanics and even miners open for the right candidate. This seems like an incredible opportunity for willing people with the right skill set.
Why move to Australia – higher wages and a lower cost of living
Suppose the promise of sunshine isn’t enough to attract potential candidates to work in Australia.
In that case, the security of a lower cost of living with higher wages might be. Care and trade workers can double their salaries in their industries.
Nurses can earn a salary of AU$85,713 (€55,370), a considerable rise from the average Irish salary of €39,020 (AU$60,403).
Civil Engineers can earn a salary of $120,193 (€77,632), which is impressive compared to the standard €45,931 (AU$71,106) in Ireland.
Skill events will run later this month – the Irish event will take place in Dublin
Skill events will be held in London, Edinburgh, Bristol, and Dublin to encourage skilled workers to move to Australia for a better life.
The delegation will arrive in the UK on February 25th. Yet, it is still being determined when the exact Dublin date will be.
Minister Pepalia, one of the campaign’s spearheads, is quoted by Belfast Live: “We are here to steal your workers by offering them a better life in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Western Australia is a fantastic place to live and work.
“Our wages are higher, and our cost of living is lower. Our health system is world-class. You will be taken care of.”
The Australian dream – one of the best economies with only a 3.5% unemployment rate
Talking about Perth, Minister Pepalia promises no toll roads, no traffic jams, and no beachside parking fines; it all sounds too much to be true.
What’s more, public transport fees are capped. So, if you don’t want to drive, the most you will only have to pay to go anywhere on public transport is approximately €3.22 (AU$4.98).
Pepalia promises that Perth is a beautiful city with fantastic food and drink options and free shuttle buses to entertainment hubs. He adds, “If you’re into sports, you’ll love Perth. Our stadium was voted the best in the world.
“The culinary scene is world-class, the small bars plentiful, we have pubs and live music and theatre of all sorts”. This sounds like an incredible opportunity, and we’re tempted to explore this fantastic chance for ourselves.
