Australian Information Technology and Immigration Symposium
Galle Face Hotel
Monday 27th June 2022 8:00 am
Australia has a significant shortage of highly skilled IT professionals, and the industry is struggling to meet the demand for managed support services. The market conditions provide sophisticated Sri Lankan technology companies with an ideal opportunity to expand into Australia. It also provides opportunities for highly skilled IT professionals to transition to Australia. From 27 June 2022, join the directors of Australian Presence Legal and Fuse Technology for a symposium on the Australian IT market, and an update on the Australian immigration environment, following the recent change in Government.
