“…Third, the characteristics of the labour force in the three disciplines are to some extent indicative of how the shortages in domestic skilled workforce (Engineers Australia, 2019b; Jackling & De Lange, 2009) have led to Australia turning to skilled migrants and international graduates. While it is debated that some jobs such as Accounting are oversubscribed with graduates (see Birrell, 2014), the point that international graduates have higher unemployment rates than their domestic peers remains.…”

“…The Skilled Occupation List (SOL), listing certain occupations facing labour shortages (for immigration purposes), influences the demand for skills which shapes the hiring processes in the labour market which is in turn motivated by the regulative pillar. The SOL (previously Migration Occupations in Demand List) is known to influence enrolment patterns in specific courses (see Birrell, 2014) that would lead to positive permanent migration outcomes. While the normative pillar is underpinned by norms and values, the cultural cognitive pillar is associated more with cultures.…”

While a growing body of literature focuses on international students, their post‐study experiences and employment outcomes when they are on temporary graduate visas in the host country are under‐researched. The article addresses this critical gap by investigating international graduates' employment experiences and outcomes. It is derived from a study that includes 50 in‐depth interviews with employers, graduates and related stakeholders, and a survey with 1156 international graduates from 35 Australian universities . The study widens the lens of the discourse around international student graduates operating in a labour market which is overgeneralised by high‐skilled and low/unskilled segments. It shows that international graduates engage with a complex labour market which can see them work in or out of their professional disciplines in multiple forms of full‐time, part‐time, and casual jobs. In particular, the findings indicate that international graduates on post‐graduation visas who studied Information and Technology are more likely to secure employment in their field of study and spend less time to gain the first job in their area of expertise than those in Business and Engineering. This finding underscores the various effects of the structural conditions in different industries on international graduates' employability. The study also provides substantial insights into the increased vulnerability, deskilling, and precarity experienced by international graduates as migrant workers on temporary visas in the host country. It highlights a concern not only for the students, who place a premium on the acquisition of work experience, but also for host institutions and key destination countries and their delivery on promise in such a competitive international education market.

“…Other scholars, however, argue that, in practice, state-level policy settings and, especially, statelevel service-delivery autonomy remain very significant, bolstered by the states' considerable jurisdictional expertise, which the Commonwealth cannot match, by the increasing professionalization of human service delivery at the state level and by the continuing political strength of state governments (Parkin, 2003(Parkin, , 2007. Under this interpretation, Australia ought to be considered as a federation encompassing strong rather than weak states (Birrell, 1987).…”

As the scale and intensity of disasters and crises continue to increase, planning and managing crises have become a critical policy and governance issue. Of particular importance to this topic is crisis coordination, as effective response and recovery support the continuity of operations of governments and businesses, and are essential to the economy, health, and public safety. This paper applies a network governance perspective to explore the practical application of intergovernmental crisis coordination in Australia with reference to the COVID‐19 crisis contributing to a better understanding of the role of governing bodies in dealing with major crises in a coordinated manner. This paper also highlights the need to leverage collaborative leadership, organizational capacity, and a culture of collaboration to develop robust and connected networks in addressing crisis coordination within Australia's complex federal system.
