Record levels of employment are available for Britons who relocate to Australia, new research has suggested.

Employment rates for skilled migrants in Australia currently stand above the national average of 97 per cent, according to a study by the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (Diac) cited by the Australian Visa Bureau.

This is a change from 2005, when a similar study revealed a 25 per cent unemployment rate among migrants.

Tom Blackett, a spokesperson for the Australian Visa Bureau, commented: "This news should come as a source of great encouragement to Australian visa hopefuls in the UK."

He added that many of those making the trip to Australia have found the experience to be an overwhelmingly positive one.

According to Diac figures, more than 3.5 million people have opted to become Australian citizens since the option was introduced in 1949.
