Migration Agents for Aged Care Workers

Why Aged Care?

Australia faces one of its biggest workforce shortages in aged care. The government has created the Aged Care Industry Labour Agreement to attract overseas care workers for roles that may not otherwise be on the standard skilled occupation list. This is one of the fastest pathways for care workers.

Pathways

Common roles include personal care assistants, enrolled nurses, registered nurses, and diversional therapists. Registered and enrolled nurses follow the standard ANMAC assessment pathway. Personal care workers may be sponsored under the labour agreement with lower qualification requirements.

Employer Sponsorship

Many aged care providers actively recruit from overseas and offer sponsorship. Some assist with relocation costs and accommodation, particularly in regional areas. The labour agreement pathway has different requirements from standard employer sponsorship — a migration agent can help navigate this.
