There is intense competition for global talent and Australia seeks to be at the forefront in attracting the best and the brightest to contribute to Australia's prosperity.
As part of Australia's strategy to attract the best and brightest skilled migrants from across the globe, the Global Talent Visa Program focuses on attracting highly skilled individuals with entrepreneurial ideas and cutting-edge skills within priority sectors, who can contribute to Australia's economy by driving innovation and creating local jobs. The Global Talent Visa Program is a streamlined visa pathway for highly skilled professionals to work and live permanently in Australia.
Alongside the Global Talent Visa Program, the Global Business and Talent Attraction Taskforce was established to help transform Australia into a more powerful magnet for exceptional talent and marquee enterprises.
Kendall Draper, Global Talent Officer Southeast Asia will share more information about the Global Talent Visa program and the work of the Global Business and Talent Attraction Taskforce for members and associates of AusCham Vietnam.
