Adelaide seeks to retain skilled workers who emigrate to Australia
Dylan Lautner
Australia, October 12, 2009 - A study recently has found that overseas workers who emigrate to Australia first arriving in Adelaide are later relocating to other larger Australian cities like Sydney and Melbourne. South Australia has a unique program for workers who emigrate to Australia, but has been losing these valuable migrants to the bigger cities of Melbourne and Sydney.
Business leaders warn that skilled workers who emigrate to Australia must be retained by South Australia, or the state will not grow to forecasted labour demands.
Business advisory firm PKF and Access Economics released their study yesterday, which shows of the 18,500 people who moved to South Australia in 2008, 16,000 were from overseas.
Immigration South Australia has a program called On Arrival Services to help migrants settle into the state including: an airport pickup and early settlement advice; on arrival accommodation available for a maximum rental period of 12 weeks; facilitation of visits to South Australia for groups of potential business migrants to explore business opportunities; networking and referral service; a skills recognition services; business relocation service; as well as a comprehensive program which assists new migrants to make the transition into employment.
