Coming to Australia as a 'Skilled Migrant'

The targeted recruitment of skilled workers has always been a central part of Australian immigration policy and post-war Germany was an important source of so-called 'skilled migrants. ' Karin Schmaedeke and her husband belong to this group of immigrants. The couple with a child came in 1980. Karin Schmaedeke says that she has never regretted the decision to move to Australia.
