Australia is launching ambitions new projects to lure skilled foreign workers to the country and help the economy.

The Australian Federal Government has used its current budget to pay for improved in infrastructure across the country. $4.3 billion has been invested in a cross-town rail link in Melbourne, the largest investment in Australian railway in 80 years.Numerous other investments include hospitals, roads, schools and public housing.

This new phase of development requires a steady flow of skilled foreign workers.

Australia immigration has used a points system for years where the points are assigned more heavily to professions that are deemed to help Australia.

The professions currently high in demand and that can be used to earn Australia visa bonus points include electricians, engineers, plumbers and gas fitters.

Australia is also at the top of the list by the International Monetary Fund of countries ability to bounce back from the global financial crisis. It is no surprise that so many skilled works are looking to live and work in Australia.

These Australia visa changes follow on from the change in July this year to the minimum salary level (MSL) for temporary skilled workers. The MSL was increased by 4.1% in an attempt to attract skilled workers to Australia in the hope they would move to Australia permanently.
