Changes to qualification bonus point requirements for university lecturers

Tuesday, 14 April 2009

Changes to the requirements for university lecturers to claim bonus points for qualifications in an area of absolute skill shortage under the Skilled Migrant Category are proposed for June 2009.

University lecturers can currently claim bonus points if they hold either a masters degree or PhD.  It is proposed that people claiming these points must also have at least 12 months' work experience as a university lecturer or a post doctoral fellow. Find out more about the Skilled Migrant Category.
