Skilled Migration: Separating Myth from Reality

Growth across the Western Trade Coast is creating new opportunities for businesses, but growth also means planning for the workforce needed to support it.

With continued investment across Henderson and the Australian Marine Complex, demand for skilled workers is expected to extend beyond businesses directly involved in defence and maritime. Engineering, manufacturing, fabrication, resources and businesses across the wider supply chain all need to consider workforce capacity as they plan for future growth and expansion.

Skilled Migration: Separating Myth from Reality is a practical session for WA businesses looking to better understand where skilled migration may fit within their workforce planning.

Hosted by the City of Cockburn, with CCIWA and WTCBN Member, Workforce Abundance, the session will cover skilled migration pathways, sponsorship, costs and timelines, employer obligations, real business case studies and common mistakes to avoid.

If your business is planning to grow or scale up, this is an opportunity to start thinking about whether your workforce is ready to grow with you.

Date: Wednesday, 14 October 2026
Time: 8:00 am – 10:45 am
Venue: AMC Jakovich Function Centre, 2/4 McGrath Road, Henderson WA 6166
