The Australian government recently announced that it will make the Global Talent Scheme a permanent feature in its Subclass 482 visa.
In July 2018 the GTS scheme was introduced as a pilot program but has now been made permanent. The visa was introduced to bring in highly skilled global talent to the country and encourage innovation. The goal of the scheme was to provide startups in Australia access to workers from other countries with cutting-edge skills that were lacking in local Australians.
The visa scheme was launched in the hope of replicating the US’s success story with a similar visa category that led to the influx of muncitori cu înaltă calificare in the country. They were responsible for the growth of Silicon Valley companies and the rise of more than 50% of start-ups.
The scheme was introduced to help fill the tech talent shortage in Australia. The GTS aims to attract tech workers and encourage innovation in the country. The GTS or the ‘Startup visa’ is specially designed for startups that are technology-based or in a STEM-related field. The visa comes under the Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclasa 482). |
According to David Coleman Immigration Minister, “The pilot showed the GTS has strong support from industry and highlighted the economic benefits of recruiting overseas talent directly to Australian businesses.”
According to Coleman, continuing the scheme will help to bring in highly- skilled foreign workers and their unique knowledge and skills which can be transferred to Australian workers.
Schema își propune să ocupe roluri de nișă în afaceri care nu pot fi ocupate de australieni locali sau prin programul standard de viză TSS.
Since the introduction of the scheme, 23 businesses signed up for it out of which 5 are startups. Among these are companies such as Q-CTRL and Gilmour Space Technologies. Large tech companies that qualified for the scheme are Atlassian and Canva. Non-tech companies such as Rio Tinto and Coles have used the GTS to access appropriate talent.
What are the eligibility requirements for GTS?
Eligibility for candidates:
Visa validity is for four years and candidates can apply for a viza PR după trei ani |
The GTS helps companies find candidates with a range of qualifications. Tech and startup sectors welcomed the move because they felt it could solve their problems such as the skills gap and access to the right talent.
The GTS visa has helped the technology industry get over the restrictions of the viza TSS which is limited and makes it difficult to gain access to specialized talent from across the world.
Startups in Australia have welcomed the move to make the GTS a permanent feature since it will solve some of their manpower woes.
