众所周知，澳大利亚一直以来以其移民和就业的优势吸引了广大的中国学生。作为澳际出国留学的首席咨询顾问，在日常的咨询工作中经常会遇到家长和学生问起，由于澳大利亚政府逐年调整技术移民分数，从原先的110分到现在的120分，很多国内想直接办理移民的学生，都因为相差5－10分成为泡影，学生需要利用留学方式调整分数，哪些专业是移民的紧缺专业？哪些是移民加分的城市？哪些专业更利于就业？一直成为学生出国留学形式、院校、专业的首要考虑。
所谓移民紧缺专业，就是在当前的职业最高分60的基础上，再加15-20分的额外分数，以显示政府对就业市场需求的紧密配合。传统的紧缺专业有两类：
第一类是专业人士类：包括医生、护士、会计、理疗师、药剂师、助产士、放射师、声纳师等。
第二类是技工类：包括西点师、汽车修理师、理发师等诸多类别。由于最近由于澳大利亚技工行业的严重短缺，迫使澳大利亚移民局加设了一些技工专业到MODL上。TAFE(Technical and Further Education，技术和继续教育学院)，是澳大利亚独特的职业教育培训体系，相当于中国的职校、技校、中专和高等专科学校的综合体。经过30多年的发展，澳TAFE教育已成为全球特色鲜明的教育体系之一，并凭借诸多的优势，而成为中国学生留学澳大利亚的新方向。以下是澳大利亚移民部公布的紧缺职业清单（MODL）。根据现行移民法规，现在申请澳大利亚一般技术移民，打分需要达到120。只要你的职业在这个清单上，即可获得15-20分的额外加分，从而使你的的移民分数有很大机会达到这个标准。
以下是详细的列表，希望对准备和正在申请留学的朋友有所帮助，此外，学生考虑留学应该以将来从事职业，奋斗起点为依据，不要把宝全部押在自己不熟悉的行业，澳际出国留学办理的出国留学人数众多，积累了大量的经验，欢迎广大学生电话咨询：010－65229780转澳大利亚部，我们会根据您的情况量身订作方案，其实条条大路通罗马。
