Territory can attract twice as many skilled workers through 2024 Migration Program

19 Jul 2024 3:30 PM | Anonymous

The Lawler Labor Government is continuing to take a common sense approach to growing the Territory’s economy and ensuring Territory businesses have the skilled workers needed to expand.

Under the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program the Northern Territory’s allocation has doubled from the previous year – up to 1,600 overseas skilled workers.

Workers from a range of industries including health, science, finance, agriculture, construction, telecommunications, IT and hospitality can apply to MigrationNT for NT Government nominations under the GSM program, which offers permanent as well as provisional 5-year visas with a pathway to permanent residency in the NT.

Today’s news is additional to the Federal Government’s announcement in December 2023 that gave employer sponsored visa applications from regional areas the highest priority in processing with the entirety of the Northern Territory deemed regional for migration purposes.

Skilled migrants are projected to contribute approximately $1.4 billion to the Territory economy in the period from 2021 to 2027. Attracting and retaining workers in the Northern Territory is essential to growing the NT economy to $40 billion by 2030.

Territory employers and jobseekers can connect through the Territory Government’s online platform WorkerConnect - which already has a talent pool of over 10,000 job seekers wanting to work in the NT.
