“Hi everyone, welcome to Aussizz Conclave 4.0. We hope that you’re excited to know all about marketing and HR occupation courses and PR pathways.

Key Insights from the Session:

1. Pathways for Social Workers with Non-Australian Qualifications

• Skill Assessment: Social workers with non-Australian qualifications need relevant work experience and a positive skill assessment to apply for state nomination.
• State Requirements: For example, in South Australia, social workers need to work for six months, 30 hours per week in their nominated occupation.

2. Residency Requirements for EOI Applications

• Masters in Marketing: Individuals who have completed a Masters in Marketing and wish to apply for EOI in Adelaide under the 491 visa need 12 months of residence and six months of work experience (30 hours per week) in their nominated or closely related occupation.

3. Steps for MBA Graduates with No Work Experience

• Gaining Experience: MBA graduates in Marketing and HR without work experience need to gain at least one year of relevant work experience (minimum 20 hours per week) in Australia.
• Skill Assessment: After gaining the necessary experience, they can apply for a skill assessment through Vetassess and then start the PR process.

4. Future Changes in the Point System

• Comprehensive Review: The Australian government is reviewing the points system, but changes are not expected to be implemented from 1st July. The final review is likely to come by the end of the financial year, with possible implementation in the next financial year.

5. PR Pathway Options for Science Graduates

• Masters in Laboratory Medicine: Graduates with a background in science (e.g., zoology, chemistry, bioinformatics) are ideal candidates for a Masters in Laboratory Medicine, which offers a straightforward PR pathway without requiring work experience.
• Managing Gaps: Applicants with significant gaps in their education or work history need to address these gaps to qualify for a student visa.

6. Mutual Recognition Agreements

• Australia and New Zealand: There are mutual recognition agreements between Australia and New Zealand for certain registered professions, potentially easing the process of gaining PR in New Zealand for those with Australian qualifications.
