The 6th largest country in the world, Australia is 50 per cent larger than Europe, but has the lowest population density in the world. Approximately 85% of Australians occupy only 1% of the continent and live around the coast. As part of the Australian government’s initiative to encourage economic growth and manage shortages in skilled labour, over 102,500 places have been made available under the General Skilled Migration Stream .

The number of people in work in Australia continues to rise – recent figures through the Australian Bureau of Statistics for August shows a rise of 2,200.

One of the most sought after skills listed on Australia’s Migration Occupations in Demand List is landscape gardeners. A search of www.landscaperjobs.co.uk reveals a significant number of jobs on offer in Australia.

And it isn’t just the green fingered that are in demand in Australia at present. The economy has generated demand for landscapers, arborists, landscape designers

groundsmen and greenkeepers.
