WAskillbank Â– a new initiative from AustraliaÂ’s oldest migration agency.

(I-TravelNewswire.Com, June 12, 2012 ) Perth, Western Australia -- The impetus for WAskillbank is Perth’s recent classification as a ‘regional area’. This means that now the whole of Western Australia has access to the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) visa options.

RSMS visas provide benefits for both the candidate and the WA employer. Features include:

- Immediate Permanent Residence status with the ability to live and work indefinitely in WA

- Full access to Medicare for all family members

- More flexibility with skills, English and age

- Enrolment in Primary, Secondary & Tertiary Education Institutions without paying overseas student fees

- No skills assessment required if they have a job secured

The new RSMS process not only offers skilled candidates very favourable visa conditions, it also simplifies the skilled migrant hiring process for WA employers either from within Australia (subclass 857) when transferring employees from a subclass 457 visa, or for offshore employees applying for a subclass 119 visa. The employer only needs to register their job role with the Department of Immigration and Citizenship to access the RSMS visa option.

Concept Australia is taking a leading role in promoting the new RSMS visa options throughout Europe and South Africa as a way of attracting skilled candidates to the Western Australian job market.

As migration agents their role is to assess eligibility and to advise and prepare candidates for RSMS Decision Ready visa status.

Their services include:

- An explanation of the sponsorship and visa application process

- Assistance with the structure of work statements

- Advice on documents needed to support each application

- Electronic completion of DIAC and state sponsorship application forms

- Management of each case with DIAC

- Certification of all documents by the Registered Migration Agent

- An invitation to an Information Day to meet associates

The WA Government has promised Priority 1 processing of Decision Ready RSMS visa applications.

WAskillbank candidates are published to their network of eager WA employers. One such employer is Gary Sears, Managing Director of MSS Contracting Pty Ltd. “We recruit engineering and trade personnel to the mining, civil and construction industries. With a high demand and a shortage of skilled employees such as Mining Engineers, Heavy Diesel Fitters / Mechanics and Operators, local recruitment strategies are not meeting the increasing demands of our industry. The RSMS visa offering is a key strategy to attracting skilled migrants, by promoting our requirements through WAskillbank which has enabled us to explore opportunities within the international market of qualified employees we cannot find locally”.
