Australia will take an extra 20,000 skilled migrants in 2005-06 to help meet

labour force needs.

Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone said between 130,000 and 140,000

non-humanitarian migrants would be taken, with a skilled migrant component

of 97,500.

The government would also change visas for working holidaymakers, giving

people an option of extending such visas, and introduce a pilot program for

overseas people to do apprenticeships in regional Australia.

Senator Vanstone said more trades had also been added to the migration

occupations in demand list, making it easier for such tradespeople to

migrate to Australia.

"We plan to take an additional 20,000 skilled migrants in Australia in the

year 2005-06," Senator Vanstone told reporters.

"The particular focus of this increase will be through employer sponsorship

because employers are the ones that know best the skills that their

particular business requires.
