Australia is exploring the recognition of migrants’ skills offshore before they arrive, aiming to reduce cost and delays as well as help them secure jobs aligned with their qualifications. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says the initiative could bring benefits to both migrants and the broader economy. At least 620,000 permanent migrants are working below their skill level in Australia, according to government figures.
