A state in Australia is after UK workers and wants to tempt them Down Under with a promise of a surf and sunshine lifestyle, high wages and a low cost of living. The Western Australia delegation will be travelling UK and Ireland this month in an effort to recruit almost 31,000 workers.
Police and Defence Industry Minister Paul Papalia is leading a group of industry figures aiming to steal British professionals to help fill vacancies across multiple professions, including teachers, nurses, doctors and police officers. Skilled mechanics, builders, plumbers and dentists are also needed, as well as people working in the hospitality and mining sectors.
Minister Papalia said: “We are here to steal your workers by offering them a better life in one of the most beautiful places on the planet. Western Australia is a fantastic place to live and work. Our wages are higher and our cost of living is lower. Our health system is world class. You will be taken care of.
