The Truth Behind the "1 Million Workers Till 2035" Viral Rumor

Viral videos on social media (TikTok, YouTube, Facebook) across India, Pakistan, and South Asia have claimed that the Australian Government has signed an open bilateral agreement to recruit "1 million or 1 billion workers" with guaranteed visas. This claim is completely false.

Domestic Job Demand, Not Open Quotas

Jobs and Skills Australia projects ~1.1M total job openings in the domestic economy over 10 years, mostly filled by local Australian residents and existing graduates.

Tighter Migration Policies

The Australian Government has reduced net overseas migration, raised English benchmarks, and introduced strict salary floors ($73,150+ AUD TSMIT).

Real Pathway: SkillSelect Merit

Genuine migrants qualify via points-tested General Skilled Migration (189/190/491) or verified employer sponsorship with high skill requirements.

LEGAL COMPLIANCE & FRAUD WARNING Migration Act 1958 § 245AS

Why Genuine Australian Jobs Cannot Be Sold (And Why ChatGPT Flags It)

Under Section 245AS of the Australian Migration Act 1958, "Paying for Visa Sponsorship" is a criminal offense. Australian employers are legally prohibited from charging job seekers for employment offers, sponsorship, or nomination. Sponsoring companies face civil penalties exceeding $300,000 AUD, and candidates risk immediate visa cancellation.

Our Strict Policy: Nexus Point Consultants provides transparent credential evaluations, points test auditing, CV ATS tailoring, and Skills Assessment filing. We do NOT sell job offers, and we do NOT collect recruitment fees from applicants. This ethical separation protects you from fraudulent scams and ensures compliance with international labor regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Australia's workforce demand, legal policies, and fees.

No. This is a viral social media exaggeration. While Jobs and Skills Australia projects over 1 million total new jobs generated in the domestic economy over the next decade due to retirements and economic growth, these are overall economic positions primarily filled domestically. International skilled intake is controlled strictly by annual federal planning levels (around 185,000 to 190,000 places per year across all global nationalities combined).

Under Section 245AS of the Australian Migration Act 1958, "Paying for Visa Sponsorship" is strictly prohibited. Sponsoring employers cannot accept payment or deductions for providing sponsorship. Any agency claiming they can "sell you an Australian work visa with a guaranteed job" is operating fraudulently and risks your file being refused with a permanent ban. Legitimate recruitment is free for candidates; professional consultancy fees only cover immigration documentation audits, skills assessment preparation, and legal advisory.

Yes. Australia's General Skilled Migration (GSM) program — specifically Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent) and Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated) — does not require a job offer or employer sponsor. You qualify based on your human capital score (minimum 65 points on the points matrix).

Nexus Point provides complete profile auditing, points maximization strategy, Australian-standard CV adaptation, and Skills Assessment dossier assembly (for VETASSESS, ACS, Engineers Australia, TRA). Formal legal representation is coordinated through registered Australian migration practitioners (OMARA / MARA). All fees are structured under milestone-based written agreements.
