The Global Talent Visa Program is a streamlined visa pathway. It is for highly skilled professionals to work and live permanently in Australia.
So Australia wants the brightest and best global talent to work in ten future-focused sectors. We designed the program to support the economy by introducing innovative skills to high priority industries. This will create opportunities for Australians by:
- transferring skills
- promoting innovation
- creating jobs.
And Australia is also a lifestyle destination. But it is one of the most prosperous, safe and culturally diverse countries in the world. Australia offers opportunities for innovation. We have strong trading links and a business-friendly regulatory approach. Through the program, we will grant talented individuals permanent residency to make their new lives in Australia.
