With Australia’s skills shortage affecting nearly every trade-related industry, smart home integration businesses are feeling the pressure to grow — but struggling to find talent.

In this episode, Paul Skelton speaks with Samantha Norman, Senior Migration Specialist at Mapien, about skilled migration — what it is, how it works, and how integrators can use it strategically to meet workforce needs. They break down the realities of sponsorship, including employer obligations, visa categories that may suit the industry, and the risks of cutting corners.

From bridging visas to labour market testing, Samantha explains the migration system in simple terms — offering real-world guidance on how businesses can stay compliant, reduce churn, and make informed hiring decisions.

If you’ve ever wondered whether skilled migration is right for your business — or you’ve hired offshore talent before and want to do it properly — this episode is essential listening.
