Press Release Summary = Brits in the meat industry hoping to migrate to Australia
could find the answer in Western Australia, as the government is committing more
funds to attracting skilled migrants.

Australia as a whole has an unemployment rate of 4.4 per cent, but booming Western
Australia has just 2.7 per cent, which has resulted in the temporary shortages of
some skilled workers in the meat industry.

Press Release Body = Brits in the meat industry hoping to migrate to Australia could
find the answer in Western Australia, as the government is committing more funds to
attracting skilled migrants.

Skilled meatworkers are to be granted temporary entry into Western Australia,
following a new three-year labour agreement finalised by Kevin Andrews, Minister for
Australia Immigration and Citizenship, and Margaret Quirk, West Australian Minister
for Small Business.

Australia as a whole has an unemployment rate of 4.4 per cent, but booming Western
Australia has just 2.7 per cent, which has resulted in the temporary shortages of
some skilled workers in the meat industry.

The agreement means that employers must commit to training Australian workers too,
which will help guarantee a future for the industry; and provides for strict skills
assessment requirements and a minimum salary of A$41,850 (£17,500) - the standard
minimum salary level - or the relevant industrial instrument, whichever is higher.

Authorities are hoping that Western Australian meat companies will be provided with
a temporary solution to address the shortage of skilled workers, while keeping the
jobs of Australian workers safe.

The government has committed an extra A$85.3 million over four years to the
temporary skilled migration programme, to help eradicate misuse and breaches of the
system.
