This team is bigger, with 132,200 spots! It’s for people who have special talents or jobs that Australia needs. Think of doctors, nurses, builders, or computer experts. These workers help make Australia better by doing important jobs.
Here’s how the Skill Stream splits up:
– Employer Sponsored (44,000 spots): These are people who already have a job waiting for them.
– Skilled Independent (16,900 spots): These are super smart people who don’t need a job offer. They’re so good at what they do that Australia invites them anyway!
– State/Territory Nominated (33,000 spots): Each part of Australia, like Victoria or Queensland, gets to pick people they need for their area.
– Regional (33,000 spots): These are workers who will live in smaller towns or countryside areas, not big cities like Sydney or Melbourne.
– Business Innovation & Investment (1,000 spots): This is for people who want to start big businesses or invest money in Australia.
– Global Talent (4,000 spots): These are extra-special people like scientists or inventors who are the best in the world at what they do.
The Skill Stream is the biggest part because Australia wants more workers to help build houses, fix people when they’re sick, and keep the country running smoothly.
