State Migration Plans – 3 November 2010

State Migration Plans are being introduced for each state and territory over the coming months in 2010.

The Plans will provide state and territory governments with flexibility within the Migration Program to address specific skill shortages and local labour market needs as each agreement will be tailored to the individual requirements of each jurisdiction.

Yes it is, for the purpose of State Sponsorship.

Hopefully the other States/territories (especially NT and WA) will include tilers on their lists.Otherwise people whose trade is not on the list will need a relative in Australia to sponser them for the State Sponsored Visas.

WA has announced its State Migration Plan. The good news is that Wall and Floor Tiler is on it. The bad news (for those with little work experience) is the work experience requirement :

You're right. I left Victoria out, because they have not included Wall and Floor Tilers on their Skilled Occupation List and I haven't got the info on Tassie yet.
