- More migrants find work in Australia: Report from ABS.
The majority of recent migrants are finding work in Australia, according to
figures released today by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).
Over two-thirds (68%) of recent migrants (those who have arrived in the last
ten years) were employed in November 2007, compared to 66% for people born in
Australia.
Migrants from main English-speaking countries were more likely to have a job than those born
in other countries (88% compared to 76%).
Over half (54%) of the migrants who had a job at some time since arriving in
Australia already had a job arranged before arrival, or had one within 3
months of arrival.
However, just over one-third (36%) reported some difficulties finding their
first job - the most common being 'lack of Australian work experience or
references', 'language', and 'lack of local contacts and networks'.
Further details can be found in Labour Force and Other Characteristics of
Recent Migrants, November 2007 (6250.0).

Working for the Government
Federal/Commonwealth Government Positions
There is no absolute requirement for Australian
citizenship. However, there is a general expectation that a person who is to
be engaged as an Australian Public Service (APS) employee will be an
Australian citizen, although non-citizens can be engaged in certain
circumstances. Like a number of other countries, the Australian Government
considers that it is appropriate for government employees to be Australian
citizens as a demonstration of their commitment to, and long-term stake in,
the future of Australia. Section 22(8) of the PS Act requires an agency
head not to engage, as an APS employee, a person who is not an Australian
citizen unless the agency head considers it appropriate to do so.
Federal Government Positions
State Government Positions
Each State can employ whoever it wishes, and
there appears to be no rule for Citizenship requirement. Even Temp
Visa holders are known to be employed in some State Government positions.
EG:
Who can work for Victorian Government? To gain employment with the Victorian
Government you need to be an:
- Australian Citizen : a birth certificate,
citizenship certificate or current passport is proof of eligibility.
- Australian Permanent Resident or a New
Zealand citizen with a valid passport : A passport with a permanent visa
or certificate of evidence of resident status is proof of eligibility.
- Non-citizens with a valid visa that provides work rights
