Questions:
Does Australia have a people shortage?
What effect does that have across certain industries?
What's a possible solution? (Working holiday makers Students Skilled labour etc)
In this ‘New world of work’, how do you think employers should look at employing people?
Is there a need for that person to be in the country?
Can they do the work from anywhere in the world? If so, how?
What are the most suitable visas to get skilled migrants into Australia?
Is there anything a company needs to be aware of when hiring migrants - such as how they advertise the position?
