Australia is one of the most livable countries in the world; not only rich in natural resources and cultural heritage, but also politically stable, good social order, high level of education... It can be said that when we mention Australia, we have equated it with "high quality of life".
Therefore, tens of thousands of people come from all over the world every year to find ways to immigrate to Australia. Australia itself is also a large immigration country, and it is already one of the few countries in the world that still enjoys the dividends of population growth.
Among the many immigration methods, "skilled migration" to Australia has always been a very popular type of visa for high-level talent. It’s also a set of visa categories established by the Australian government to introduce overseas senior technical personnel with high education, excellent English ability and rich technical work experience to alleviate the lack of professional and technical talent in the Australian workforce.

2023 Australian Skilled Migration Category
There are many types of skilled migration visas in Australia, so we must first determine which visa is the most suitable for us and the most beneficial for our migration.
Skilled Independent Visa This is a permanent residence category introduced in Australia for applicants with specific vocational skills and experience. This skilled migration visa allows the applicant to work and reside in Australia and enjoy the same benefits as Australian citizens.
Skilled Nomination Visa The skilled nomination visa requires the applicant to obtain a sponsorship from an Australian state or territory before applying for a visa with the Australian Department of Immigration.
Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa (subclass 191) This category allows people living and working in designated remote areas of Australia on a qualifying visa to live and work in Australia permanently.
Skilled Work Regional（Provisional) visa This is a category of skilled migration in Australia established by the Department of Immigration to attract skilled migrants to work and live in remote areas of Australia. Applicants in this category need to meet certain technical and vocational requirements and be sponsored by the state government of a remote region of Australia.

Australia, which has recovered rapidly after the pandemic, has begun a war for talent. I hope to see more and more friends who can achieve their wishes and successfully immigrate here via a skilled migration visa.
Alison’s Story
Born in Hong Kong an moved to Australia, I have been associated with real estate all my life. As the plane slowly landed on the runway of Melbourne Airport, my life and career also changed to another runway. I changed from a Hong Kong real estate agent to an Australian real estate agent, and successfully obtained the Australian lawyer qualification.
When I was working in a law firm, I was surrounded by highly educated professionals. Even though their wages are very well, and they are absolutely the elites in society, but their lives are full of hard labor, and it’s hard for them to get rich through buying properties.
So I spend all my time and effort on learning financial and real estate investment knowledge, hoping to achieve financial freedom as soon as possible, and let my parents who have worked hard for many years live a good life.
Now I will share with you the knowledge and experience of investing in Australian real estate, and embark on the road to financial freedom together.
