General information

"Australia land of kangaroos and hope"

(Lambasciata Australian ltaly to recently provided the following useful information for visitors to the largest country of Oceania)

The Australian Embassy in Italy, on the occasion of Australia Day celebrations. Cosideta declared as the "Down Under" is still a reference point and landing place for many young people in search of an existential outlet.

How to assess the fact that there are still many young people who look to Australia as a landing?

For job opportunities you can offer, and also in view of the longstanding relationship that unites Italy and Australia, the importance of the Italian-Australian community and the significant role that Italians have had and continue to have in forging Australia today, I am not surprised that many young Italians have Australia as a destination. Australians of Italian origin, in fact, are the second group in Australia, after that of Anglo-Celtic origin. In the last census of 2011, 299,833 persons (1.4 per cent of the Australian population) they said they speak Italian.

The "heritage" left by their predecessors?

generations of Italian immigrants have made a substantial contribution to the mining industry, fishery, construction and agriculture. Australians of Italian origin have been fully integrated into Australian society and occupy leading positions in all sectors having made a significant contribution to the food, wine and tourism. Only in the last twenty years (1991-30 June 2014) 9,545 people born in Italy have moved to Australia.

The programmatic platform of welcome and inclusion?

In July of 2012, Australia introduced the visa program for skilled and qualified workers "Skill Select / Technical Choice," which allows you to get a work visa, temporary or long term, for Australia, including the "Migrant Visa / Visa Migrants ", which, however, is limited and requires an excellent knowledge of English. Through the program "Skill Select / Technical Choice," qualified Italian youth seeking employment in Australia can express their interest "On Line" and free of charge. This allows employers and state agencies in Australia to select possible candidates to be nominated for a visa, for example through the Scheme "Employer Nomination / Appointment Employer". Expressions of interest are also a mechanism to be invited and to be able to apply for a visa "Skilled Migration / Migration specialist" for immigration of skilled personnel.

The site "Skill Select / Technical Selection" (www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect) is a useful resource for finding a job opportunity in Australia and check what are the jobs for which there is actually demand.

How are the working holiday visa?

The Visa "Working Holiday Visa / Working Holiday Visa" program is designed to promote cultural exchanges and closer relations between the two countries and allows young people under thirty years of stay in Australia for a holiday period, during which they can carry out short-term jobs. The maximum period of work allowed during the stay is six months. Read more about this type of visa are available "On Line" (www.immi.gov.au/visitors/working-holiday/417/working-in-australia).

What does Australia today?

If young Italians are able to finance themselves autonomously a holiday or a period of study in Australia, working holiday visas and visas for students can lead to future employment opportunities. According to the existing agreement between Australia and Italy, the Italian citizens residing in Australia may be eligible for health services, urgent care, and without direct burden of expenditure in the first six months of residence. Outside of cases of urgent performances and events that occur beyond the six-month stay in Australia, the Convention does not apply. In these cases it is advisable to take out private medical insurance.
