Hey Everyone! Admin here, It's a bit overdue but I will be migrating our forum site to a new platform for better security. I will take out all the ads as well as these pesky spammers. Please expect a bit of issues here and there, and will slowly move the features to the new one. Don't worry we are very much alive and will be alive as long as I'm here :)

How’s the job market for accountants in Australia?

I’m asking because some Filipinos say accountants in Australia are in-demand and you usually get hired in just a month or less. But I also hear from some Australians that the job market right now is highly saturated. Please further enlighten me on this matter.

About me: I’m a CPA in the Philippines with 3 years work experience — 2 years as big4 tax associate and 1 year working for Australian clients as general accountant thru an outsourcing firm. I plan to migrate to Australia in 1-2 years from now. I choose Aus since I have a sister there who’s already a citizen and can sponsor me. I plan to apply for VISA 491 or 189/190. I also plan to get a full CPA Australia certification.

What are my chances of landing a job given my (limited) work experience? What role in accounting should I pursue to increase my chances of getting hired (i.e. Internal audit, external audit, general accountant, bookkeeper, etc.)?
