The New Era of Talent Immigration
Australia has long been a beacon for skilled migrants, and the recent introduction of the National Innovation Visa (Subclass 858) further solidifies its commitment to attracting global talent. This new visa replaces the former Global Talent Visa and offers a streamlined pathway for highly skilled individuals to live, work, and innovate in Australia.
