Overview

From foreign companies setting up international branches, Australian employees becoming self-employed, existing companies expanding to different states and territories within Australia, there is one profession that must also expand at the same rate, Accounting (and maybe Legal, but that is a worst case scenario).

Accounting Professionals have remained in high demand in every metropolitan part of Australia and this demand is also spreading to other regional parts of Australia. Whether you are looking for metropolitan Australia or the chilled out suburban Australia, Accounting remains a solid foundation that will not shake.

To migrate permanently to Australia as an Accountant there are two main stages to the migration process. The first is a skills assessment to ensure you are skilled to the standard of an Australian trained accountant. You may have completed a relevant degree/ ACCA/ CIMA or equivalent. Fortunately, regardless of your accounting background the Australian Government and Australian accounting bodies understand that there is not one way of becoming an accountant, but several. However, there are similar forms of study that all accountants will be required to complete and you are assessed for migration based on the modules you completed to become an accountant.
