Finding a Job in Melbourne

Skilled and business migrants are warmly welcomed to Victoria. If your occupation is on the Victorian Skills in Demand List they may be able to help you move to this State via the Regional Skilled Migration scheme. You can check out the latest list of occupations in demand and further information at: www.liveinvictoria.vic.gov.au

Readers should note that within the metropolitan Melbourne area there is not a huge shortage of skilled workers, so it is unlikely that you would be able to migrate to the city under the Regional Skilled Migration visa. This scheme is in place to tempt workers into areas of the country where they are needed and these are usually outside of the major cities. However, you may be able to migrate under the Skilled Working Visa option.

Cost of living in Melbourne

Melbourne is less expensive to live in than its rival Sydney but more costly than the other capital States. However, salaries should reflect this.
