Finding a job in Adelaide
South Australia is a very tolerant society that welcomes migrants from all cultures. The State government actively seeks migrants, particularly those with skills which are needed to help ensure the ongoing development of the State, and business migrants.
Adelaide offers many and varied job opportunities in the private and public sectors across a range of thriving key industries which currently include healthcare, engineering, wine, automotive, manufacturing, defence, services, medical research and hospitality.
Skilled Vacancies
The South Australian Immigration site has very useful information for potential migrants and has useful fact sheets which may help aid your decision process. You can also download a very helpful brochure on skilled migration: www.immigration.sa.gov.au
Adelaide is also one of the few capital cities in Australia that allows migrants to apply under the Skilled Independent Regional Visa scheme. This visa is generally only applicable to rural areas to encourage skilled workers out of the city and into the regions. However, as Adelaide is experiencing shortages in their workforce you may be able to apply via this route which allows those who do not meet the points required for Skilled Regional Migration the chance to secure a three-year work visa. For further information refer to the DIMIA website: www.immi.gov.au/facts/26state.htm
