Skilled Migrant Worker Visas for Australia

Australia Work Visas 

A strong economy and a high demand for professionals and skilled workers, record numbers of people are seeking Australia Work Visas.  So with all those jobs to fill why do the Australian Government make it so hard to secure a work Visa?

We maybe able to answer that by saying they want to ensure their locals are paid the highest rates of pay before they bring in more labor to compete for the jobs.  Great if you are there, not so good if you are still waiting to get in.
