Indians second largest group of skilled migrants in Australia

Indians have become the second largest group of skilled migrants to Australia. This migration happened under the temporary skilled migration programme during 2007-2008. Under the scheme almost a quarter of the temporary workers came from the UK, and India came second with 14 percent followed by the Philippines at nine percent and South Africa at six percent.

Australia, to meet the severe national skills shortages, offered 110,570 visas under the temporary skilled migration programme last year, a 27 percent increase on the previous year’s 87,310.
