UDIA National strongly supports frameworks and policies that alleviate the immediate impacts of the skills shortage, builds the capacity of critical industries and boosts Australia’s economic productivity.

The productivity decline and skills shortage means we need to be keenly focussed on driving the right migrant intake that will benefit Australia. UDIA’s recommendations can be found in the full submission document which can be downloaded via the button below.
