Top Courses in Australia for PR & Best Paid Jobs

Nursing is and will always be a booming career field in Australia. Australia is a country with an aging population and the demand for registered nurses is always high. Having said that, being a registered nurse in Australia is one of the highest paid jobs in the country. 

As a registered nurse, you can make around 75,000 to 90,000 Australian Dollars per year. Nursing is also one of the easiest pathways to PR in Australia. Australia needs a large bandwagon of nurses to keep up with mounting healthcare demands. 

Engineering

Engineering innovations will ensure the world progresses at an unprecedented rate. Speaking of progress, we are in a race against time to drive innovation, sustainability and find new ways of doing traditional things. Hence, engineering innovation is in high demand globally and not just in Australia. 

However, the demand relevant to branches of engineering may have changed over the years. The most sought-after branches of engineering in Australia include civil, software development, mining and petroleum engineering. The demand for engineers in the construction, infrastructure and energy sectors is particularly high in Australia. 

Proportionate to the demand, the PR prospects are also high. 

Information and Technology

Artificial intelligence, prompt engineering, machine learning, deep learning and large language models are transforming the world. In a nutshell, the contemporary world finds information and technology at the epicenter of its existence.

There is a massive demand in data science, cyber security, and software development sectors in Australia. In fact, there is a massive demand for IT professionals across all Australian industries as they embark on a tech revolution.

From a PR perspective, the chances are the highest for system analysts and software developers. Further, speaking of salaries, you can even make $100K to $120K a year in an IT career in Australia.

Teaching

Are you a passionate teacher aiming to build a career overseas? If yes, Australia is the best country for you. Australia has a huge demand for teachers in the domains of Early Childhood, Special Education and STEM subjects.

New teachers in regional and suburban areas in Australia are in high demand. For the specializations in teaching mentioned above the prospects of permanent residency are also high. 

Working as a specialist teacher in Australia, you can earn 60K to 100K dollars per year. This is certainly a lot more than what you can earn as a teacher in India. 

Aviation

The aviation industry is witnessing a global boom with more flyers than ever before. Almost every country needs new aircraft, new pilots, members of the ground staff and sales representatives. 

The truth is that Australia’s aviation industry, otherwise growing substantially, is battling a skill shortage problem. More skilled workers are needed to support the country’s swiftly expanding aviation operations. Having said that, careers in aviation have a high return on investment in Australia. 

As a matter of fact, commercial pilots are on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) in Australia. Going for a course that leads you to a career on the MLTSSL list enhances your chances of getting a PR significantly. 

So, here’s a small tip! While choosing a course to study in Australia, do check out the MLTSSL list.

Environment Science

The environmental technology market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.3 percent over the next five years. Careers in sustainability, environmental engineering, climate change and environmental conservation are surging. The bottom line is that the world does not have an option but to resort to environmental conservation and sustainability.

This explains why environmental consultant careers are on the MLTSSL list. Careers along similar lines are particularly in high demand in the rural areas of Australia.

Construction and Project Management

Lastly, another booming industry in Australia is construction management. The construction management industry in Australia is anticipated to grow at a stable rate. Similarly, there are growing opportunities in project management. 

The construction project manager careers are listed on the skilled occupation list and MLTSS list. This does validate the idea of pursuing a construction and project management course in Australia.
