'Cooks lead the way in Australia's skilled migration program. AUSTRALIA'S SKILLED MIGRATION program has been called into question with the revelation that cooks received more visas than any other group last year.
Hairdressers also made the top five in a system that is supposed to target the most needed skills for the nation.
More than 8000 cooks got permanent visas in 2012-13, followed by 5700 accountants, 2160 software engineers, 1550 IT business analysts and 1500 hairdressers.
Skilled migration is dominated by Indians and Chinese, who comprised about half of the 129,000 places approved last year.
According to the department's 2012-13 Migration Program Report, the skilled migration system focused on migrants to help fill critical skill needs, particularly in regional areas.
This included almost 50,000 places nominated by employers and state or territory governments, and 44,000 in the skilled independent category.
There were more than 114,000 applicants waiting to be processed for skilled migration as of June 30 last year.'
How to frame the question or the issue? It’s all very well to present a snapshot now, without providing any context which could include existing and future trends such as ageing population demographics, historically high turnover in hospitality and increasing demand over time.
Putting this into perspective, the ‘Cookery’ and related industry occupations employ 300,000 with up to 200,000 job openings over next three years due to high turnover in the industry, 8,000 permanent skilled immigrants equates to less than 3% of occupation.
