Who gets to move to Australia?

For years, we’ve heard how Australia doesn’t have enough people working as teachers, nurses and tradies.

But what if I told you there’s also not enough swimming coaches, hairdressers and meat inspectors?

That’s according to the latest data from Australia’s occupation shortage list, which helps shape which jobs employers can sponsor overseas workers for.

In today's podcast, we're breaking down how the list is decided, which jobs are no longer in shortage, and how all of this impacts the Government's approach to immigration.

Hosts: Elliot Lawry and Emma Gillespie

Producer: Rosa Bowden
