Episode Details

Australias skilled migrant system is failing, with highly trained individuals underemployed or unemployed, despite critical shortages. Former Treasury secretary Martin Parkinson and Violet Roumeliotis from Settlement Services International are advocating for the Activate Australias Skills campaign to address this issue. The campaign calls for national fixes, including an independent skills commissioner, a one-stop navigation service, financial aid, and better visa matching to licensing needs. The human cost is significant, with two out of three underutilized migrants coming through the skilled visa stream. The campaign aims to activate these skills and boost productivity.
