How to Use Opportunity Down Under

Thinking about taking your career to Australia? You’re not alone—Australia is experiencing nationwide skill shortages across industries, and skilled Americans are in high demand.

At Opportunity Down Under, we make it simple.

Choose either:

  1. Self service ‘Expert Playbooks’: Our deep-dive reports (by sector or by profession) save you weeks of research and give you a clear, trusted roadmap to making the move. OR

  2. Purchase a custom report - built specifically for you.

Tips for Self Service mode

Step 1. Confirm Demand for Your Skills

The Australian Government regularly publishes an Occupation Shortage List, showing which roles are in short supply. Check the list to see if your occupation is in demand.

Step 2. Get Your Sector or Professional Pathways Report

Once you’ve confirmed your role is listed, come to Opportunity Down Under and purchase a tailored report for your sector. Our Expert Playbooks are determined by the current roles that have critical skill shortages. These are the roles that are more likely to be given higher priority for processing by Australian immigration.

Each detailed report includes:

  • In-demand roles – where your skills are most valued

  • Visa pathways – clear guidance on how Americans can qualify and apply

  • Market insights & stats – growth areas, salaries, and hiring hotspots

  • Top employers & key organizations – major companies and organizations in your sector

  • Capital city profiles – Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide & Canberra compared

  • Lifestyle expectations – housing, cost of living, healthcare, and culture

  • Networking & events – insider picks for conferences and industry associations

  • University & research partnerships – opportunities to collaborate or upskill

  • Funding & grants – current programs for individuals, entrepreneurs, startups and companies

  • Validated resources – direct links to official government, visa, and policy sites
