Skilled Professionals: Your Australian Opportunity Starts Here
Australia continues to experience skills shortages across multiple industries. If you are a qualified and experienced professional in one of the following occupations, this event is especially relevant for you:
- Motor mechanics
- Nurses
- Chefs
- Engineers (Civil engineers and other engineering professionals)
- Construction workers
- Social workers
- Quantity Surveyors

Australia’s migration program strongly supports skilled professionals through state nomination and employer-sponsored pathways such as the Subclass 491, Subclass 190, Subclass 482, Subclass 186, Subclass 494 and DAMA programs.
If you are serious about building your future in Australia, we encourage you to register and attend to learn how your occupation may fit within current visa programs. This is your opportunity to speak directly with Chris Johnston and understand your eligibility, migration strategy and next steps.

We will also present detailed information about the National Innovation Visa (NIV), a direct permanent residency pathway for individuals with exceptional talent and international recognition.
This visa is suitable for:
- High-level entrepreneurs and founders
- Investors

The National Innovation Visa does not require employer sponsorship and is not points-tested. It is designed for individuals who can demonstrate exceptional achievements and the ability to contribute significantly to Australia’s economy and innovation ecosystem.
If you believe you may qualify for this highly competitive visa, this seminar is an excellent opportunity to understand the eligibility framework and strategic approach.
