General Skilled Migration program boost
The Territory Government continues to grow the Territory’s economy by ensuring Territory businesses have the skilled workers they need to expand.
Under the General Skilled Migration 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 for Northern Territory Government nomination under the GSM. The GSM also offers permanent as well as provisional 5-year visa pathways to permanent residency in the Territory.
Skilled migrants are projected to contribute approximately $1.4 billion to the Territory economy between 2021-2027. Attracting and retaining workers in the Northern Territory is essential to growing a $40 billion economy by 2030.
Territory employers and jobseekers can connect through the Territory Government’s online Worker Connect – which already has a talent pool of over 10,000 job seekers wanting to work in the Territory.
