They have identified three (3) types of clients who have opportunities for migration to Australia: (i) Independent skilled - who should have a skill in demand in Australia and meet a rigorous points test; (ii) Employer nominated - whose skills are in demand in Australia and are sponsried by an Australian employer, and who would have the opportunity for permanent residence after two years of full time employment: and (iii) Business Investors - who are established business people or entrepreneurs who want to establish an Australian business in order to obtain Australian residency, and with assets of approximately AUD1.5 million and are required to purchase a non-speculative business that has an annual turnover of at least AUD100,000 and which employs at least one full time Australian person.
