The Australian Government’s Skilled Migration Program will continue to focus on visa categories that will help Australia’s economy rebound from COVID-19, with priority given to visa cohorts that drive economic growth, job creation, and investment into Australia.
The three priority categories within the Skill stream are:
- Business Innovation and Investment Program
- Global Talent Visa Program
- Employer-Sponsored Program
These visa categories provide investment, talent, and critical skills to Australia, and are well-positioned to assist Australia’s economic recovery.
