    Builders are being offered a \u00a36,000 sweetener to ditch freezing Britain for sun-kissed Australia.<\/p>\n

    The state of Western Australia is handing out the dosh in a bid to stave off a shortage of construction workers. It is experiencing a boom period of growth on the back of multi-million-pound Government investment in vast critical mineral and tech projects.<\/p>\n

    That has led to an urgent need for more housing \u2013 and there are not enough professionals there to meet the demand. So the Government of Western Australia has introduced an AUS$11million \u2013 \u00a35.8m \u2013 visa subsidy scheme to attract construction workers from Britain and Ireland as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

    The Aussies have already pinched thousands of UK doctors, nurses and cops by offering them new sun, sea and sand lifestyles – plus higher salaries and a lower cost of living. Now they want brickies and plumbers to build them new homes.<\/p>\n

    The Construction Visa Subsidy Programme \u2013 AKA \u2013 will see builders who decide to quit the UK and move Down Under awarded up to \u00a36,000 to help cover the costs of relocating.<\/p>\n

    Professionals who can cash in include civil and structural engineers, plumbers, carpenters, air conditioning mechanics, electricians, glaziers, tilers, concreters, floor finishers, plasterers, painters and decorators and joiners.<\/p>\n
