The following observations relate exclusively to German law questions regarding the employment of Australians in Germany. Questions regarding the selfemployment of Australian citizens in Germany are not addressed. The fundamental goal of the relevant German laws is to regulate migration into the German employment market. Thus, speaking generally, it is difficult for low-qualified workers to migrate to Germany. In contrast, highly-qualified executive workers in commerce and science are admitted fairly readily into the employment market if they can demonstrate that they have an appropriate offer of employment.
