Introduction:
The Global Talent Visa Program, also known as the Global Talent Independent Program, is a 
streamlined visa pathway for highly skilled professionals to work and live permanently in Australia.
Australia is after the brightest and best global talent to work in future-focused sectors. The program is designed to help grow our innovation and tech economies. This will create opportunities for Australians by transferring skills, promoting innovation, and creating jobs.

Australia offers opportunities for innovation, with strong trading links and a business-friendly regulatory approach.
