【留学资讯 7月11日电】据澳州新闻网报道，对乡镇和某些行业的关注为希望来到澳大利亚海外工作者开辟了一条新的道路。 移民协议或因地制宜 SBS新闻透露，政府提供的“精品”签证协议将指定存在小众技能人才缺口的澳大利亚乡镇地区。 目前全澳已经有部分企业和行业实行322项特殊劳动协议，但公民部长杜吉(Alan Tudge)表示，他希望进一步根据地理位置促成移民协议。 r北昆州和西澳东南部的Goldfields是两个月内最有可能受益的地区。“在昆州北部，旅游业蓬勃发展，需要像会说中文的水肺潜水教练这样的人才。”杜吉告诉SBS新闻。“在Goldfields，他们缺少钻井工人。他们缺少能够在附近的一些农场工作的人，我们希望能够满足这些人才缺口，以便这些企业能够继续发展。”

These regions' visa agreements are expected to be implemented by the end of the year, but it is unclear which other fields may benefit and how many visas will be provided. rWhat is a "premium visa"? If there are unfilled vacancies in local specialties that do not belong to over 600 job categories on the technical skills shortage list, the government can arrange premium visas independently.

Companies must first prove through nationwide job advertisements that they cannot find workers locally. In most cases, visa holders can obtain permanent residency rights.

"We can enter these premium arrangements that allow us to make very personalized arrangements for specific companies, but essentially it's still the same: A, we prioritize Australians; companies must prove there are no Australians available. B, they still need to meet the standards set out in the agreement." said Mr Tudge.

"Each agreement is unique - a premium one tailored specifically for each company or region, taking into account their special skill shortages and their requirements."

The elderly care worker shortage has been alleviated

Melbourne-based elderly care center Fronditha Care is one of dozens of businesses that have already secured a premium visa agreement to increase staff numbers.

So far, this center has employed 22 Greek-speaking elderly caregivers and obtained an additional 60 special visas known as Temporary Skilled Shortage (TSS) visas to hire more bilingual workers.

"They can communicate with our residents," said George Lekakis CEO of Fronditha Care told SBS News. "They also help pass information on to other colleagues who don't speak Greek."
