21 DecA Migration System for Australia’s Future
ELAA made a submission to the Department of Home Affairs to make recommendations on how Australia’s migration system can be improved.
Our recommendations were:
- For there to be a priority skilled migration visa exclusively for the care sector. This must include Early
Childhood Teachers and Educators, aged care and disability workers and healthcare. - Use positive messaging about the future of the care sectors pay improvement as an opportunity to
increase migrant worker outreach. - Stabilise care sector jobs to improve security and well-being implications for migrant workers.
- Expand access to current migrant labour pool including by investing in subsidised training and
recognising prior learning for migrant workers to be skilled in Australian courses.
