👵🏼🙏Here at TMA, we deeply understand the growing concerns about staffing in the Australian Aged Care sector due to:  ⚫ The workforce decline despite an increase in demand for Aged Care services. ⚫ The 24/7 Registered Nurse and 200 Care Minute Requirements under the new Aged Care Standards. ⚫ A projected shortage of 110,000 workers by 2030 according to the Economic Development of Australia. ⚫ Over 49% of existing aged care workers plan on leaving the industry in the next 5 years. 💙But, there are solutions!💙  ✅👩🏻⚕️ The skilled migration pathway for nurses under the Standard Employer Sponsored Visa program. It is possible to sponsor overseas qualified RNs (Registered Nurses) and ENs (Enrolled Nurses), their skills are transferable if they are recognised by AHPRA (Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency) for registration in Australia. We can help you map the talent available internationally to meet your needs, and to help meet the new 200 care minutes requirement.  ✅🧑In addition, the recent Aged Care Industry Labour Agreement speaks to helping Australian Aged Care providers and employers bring in skilled migrant workers to meet our critical workforce shortages. Positions include Personal Care Assistant, Aged and Disabled Carer etc. While recruiting international talent is part of the solution, it is crucial to implement this strategy efficiently to reduce timelines and costs.

Anzac Day is commemorated annually on the 25th of April, serving as a day of national remembrance in Australia and New Zealand to honor the sacrifices of war victims and acknowledge the contributions of our armed forces and heroes. As a mark of respect, our office is closed today as we honor those who have gone before us. Whether by joining the Dawn Service at 4.30am or taking part in the Anzac Day march, we stand together to remember and pay our respects with  🌺Lest We Forget 🌺 to commemorate those who gave their lives for our freedom. #AnzacDay 

As part of the 2023-24 permanent migration program, the Australian Department of Home Affairs has set the migration program level at 190,000 places. This aims to address Australia’s continuing and emerging skills shortage as we continue to build a pipeline of highly skilled workers in Australia. Ultimately, it aims to help: ✅Build resilience ✅Boost workforce productivity ✅Support our economy as it transitions to net zero emissions In the long run, this approach will help address Australia's aging population issue since most migrants are typically younger than the current Australian population. 🔽 Here are the three visa streams that Australia will focus on as part of its permanent visa program.  #MigrationUpdate #PermanentMigrationProgram #TheMigrationAgency 

🌙 Wishing you a joyful Ramadan, from our team to yours. 🌙 During Ramadan, billions of Muslims worldwide fast from dawn till sunset, enhancing their spiritual growth as they empathise with those who are less fortunate. The conclusion of this period is marked by the festival breaking of the fast, known as Eid al-Fitr, which signifies the end of Ramadan each year. 💙Here at TMA, we value and celebrate cultural diversity, one of our core values as we collaborate with a wide array of diverse teammates and talents globally. #Ramadan #CulturalDiversity #TheMigrationAgency

🇦🇺🇳🇿Have you heard about Australia’s newest permanent visa stream for our friends and neighbours from the Pacific Island countries and Timor Leste? ❤️The Australian Department of Home Affairs has been working with the Pacific leaders for a deeper connection and easier movement around the region, as Australia improves access, mobility and migration opportunities.

👀It is no surprise that Australia needs more nursing and care workers to meet the increasing demand for Aged Care as part of our aging population. While there are various ways to manage aged care staffing in the future, such as promoting independent living for the elderly and enhancing technology to allow carers to focus on caregiving rather than administrative duties, introducing international talent as aged care workers emerges as a promising solution. Skilled workers from overseas can quickly adapt with minimal training, and support and train more recent graduates entering the Australian workforce. As part of Australia’s migration strategy to aid the Aged Care sector, recent changes to the skilled visa program encourage aged care employers to sponsor overseas workers in key direct care occupations such as: 👩🏾⚕️Nursing support worker 🧑🏽Personal Care Assistant 🧑🏻⚕️Aged or Disabled Carer If your aged care organisation needs support in any way, we’re here to help. Feel free to reach out. 💙 #AgedCare #Migration #TheMigrationAgency

📈With global unemployment forecast to rise this year (2024), it provides an opportunity for Australia to bring in workers from overseas. Lucky for Australian businesses and future migrations, Australia is introducing a new Skills in Demand visa, which includes streams for specialist, core and essential skills. Workers who qualify for a Skills in Demand visa will benefit from:  ✅A 4-year validity period and clear pathways to permanent residence. ✅Increased mobility, with a 180-day period to find another sponsor while still being able to work. ✅Streamlined visa processing, with a service standard of 7 days on average for the Specialist Skills pathway and 21 days for the other streams. These are improvements from the existing visa streams, a win-win solution for: 👔Workers: greater protection when it comes to wages and conditions 💊Businesses: greater access to skilled workers, particularly in critical areas such as healthcare, net zero transition and digital economy.   #WorkforceTrends #MigrationUpdate #SkillsInDemand
