The current temporary skilled visa system creates delays and disincentives that undermine that competitiveness. As the Productivity Commission concluded in its assessment of the economic, social and environmental impact of migration, immigration brings net benefits across the Australian community, noting that: O]ver the long term, selecting migrants with higher rates of workforce engagement and employment in skilled and high demand occupations is likely to deliver improved economic outcomes.1 As a discerning and strategic employer of skilled migrants, this finding strongly aligns with the experience of the Australian minerals industry. The MCA agrees that policy underpinning skilled migration should be evidence-based and informed by the appropriate mix and influence of economic, social and environmental factors.2 Accordingly the MCA considers that some parameters of the current temporary skilled visa system are not wholly effective in targeting genuine skills shortages, as they restrict the mining industry’s access to skilled employees and hinder its competitiveness. As opportunities across the minerals industry continue to grow, an additional 900 mining engineers are expected to be employed domestically up to 2022, with an estimated demand for up to 5000. Additionally, the specialists skills associated with innovation and technology adoption will influence skill needs and shape demand across industry. Given the current and projected pipeline of enrolments and graduates in mining engineering and related disciplines, access to skilled migrants is critical to respond to the immediate divide between supply and demand over the next 12 months. Delays in recruiting critical workers on temporary visas will not only impact overall competitiveness, it will also delay developments and the creation of permanent positions for Australians.
