Australian Government Recruitment for Construction Workers
Exciting news from the Australian Government! They’re launching the Construction Visa Subsidy Program (CVSP) to recruit construction workers ready to move to Australia. This program aims to fill the manpower gap in the country’s construction industry.
Here’s the deal: The Australian Government is offering free visa support services and tempting financial incentives of up to $10,000 Australian dollars. This is all to entice and assist construction workers from around the world to make the move to Australia and join their construction industry workforce.
The Australian Government’s brand-new Construction Visa Subsidy Program (CVSP) is their star initiative to help Western Australian construction companies meet their skilled workforce needs. They’re offering grants of up to $10,000 to back skilled migration visas for workers. This covers expenses like migration agent fees, visa applications, and moving costs. Two paths are available: one for WA employers (CVSP Employer Sponsored Stream) and the other for independent skilled migrants (CVSP State Nominated Stream). It’s all about boosting the construction industry in Western Australia.
