Australia is one of the countries that are experiencing continued growth in their economy and standard of living.

Since this change was implemented, skilled migrants are required to have an EOI-Expression of Interest- before applying for a work visa. The point-based application allows one to earn points depending on age, level of English language, skills and work experience.
