Among the talent immigration and skilled immigration occupations in Australia, if you ask which is the hottest, I am afraid that it is not an IT occupation, which can be called a large immigrant.
In terms of quotas, IT occupations add up to more than 10,000, and from the number of PR visas, IT is also one of the best, and 2 of the top 5 can often be accounted for.
IT requirements
Healthcare and engineering are currently the top priority areas because of the pandemic and the need for economic recovery; in the long run, IT talent, especially emerging talent, is still very much needed in Australia.
Recently, abs released statistics show that due to the impact of the epidemic, Australian companies are facing a shortage of skills, especially professionals such as mechanics, hotel staff, IT and engineering.
According to a report released by ACS, an IT career evaluation agency, IT will contribute more than 40% to economic growth in the next 5 years. By 2024, Australia will create about 100,000 new IT jobs, bringing the total number of jobs to around 792,000.
Among the top 15 emerging occupations in Australia in 2020 announced by LinkedIn, the IT category occupies the top spot. In fact, all of the top five emerging positions require IT-related skills.

This also shows once again that IT talents have great potential for development in the future society, and there are many new jobs that require THE use of IT-related skills.
Not long ago, abs announced that in the update plan of the ANZSCO list, cybersecurity in the IT field is a priority area for this year.
Many IT applicants have also successfully immigrated or obtained immigration tickets in a variety of ways, such as GTI Outstanding Talent Immigration and State Burden Immigration.
GTI Outstanding Talent Immigration
Outstanding talents in the top ten industries quickly and permanently
Needless to say, the popularity of GTI's outstanding talent immigration this fiscal year goes without saying.
Last fiscal year, 4109 of the 5,000 places were used! The overall approval rate is as high as 99.5%! This fiscal year's quota has been directly increased to 15,000! Moreover, Australia has also set up a special working group to vigorously attract high-skilled talents and enterprises and provide simplified PR channels.
In early 2021, Australia also made some reforms to GTI's outstanding talent immigration. Undergraduate and master's graduates will not be invited based on academic qualifications alone, but will need to prove that they meet the income requirement of $153,600, and only PhD graduates can still apply with academic qualifications.
But the good news is that the application field of GTI Outstanding Talent Immigration in Australia has expanded from 7 to 10, and the IT position is very stable!

Moreover, the Immigration Bureau has specially approved a priority processing channel for such visas, and the speed of invitation and signing is relatively fast.
Other immigration routes
State-borne immigration
Skilled migration is one of the most common immigration channels for IT applicants.
On the one hand, there are many career choices, and on the other hand, IT majors also have a bonus advantage in EOI scoring.
Although the 189 invitation is temporarily weak due to the impact of the epidemic, IT still occupies a very important position in the responsibilities of various states and states.
In fact, for immigrant applicants who originally planned to go 189, the state burden is also one of the first options to consider, after all, the two are the same in many ways.
Especially 491, in the first half of the fiscal year, IT occupations signed more than 190 and 189.
How to choose the most suitable state guarantee? What are the state's threshold requirements? Depending on their background, you can choose which state's requirements are appropriate.
Australia's immigration policy is constantly changing, and judging from the immigration trend in the past two years, IT talents with high-tech skills will have an advantage for a long time.
