On 8 August 2019 the Government announced it will make the Global Talent program permanent to attract the world’s best and brightest. Australian businesses and start-ups will have streamlined access to the best and brightest talent from around the world with the continuation of the Global Talent – Employer Sponsored program (GTES), formerly the Global Talent Scheme. The Government recognises there is fierce competition globally for high-tech skills and talent, and that attracting these people helps to transfer skills to Australian workers and grow Australian-based businesses. The Global Talent Scheme will consist of two components. Established businesses with an annual turnover of more than $4 million and the start up stream explained below. Previously the Global Talent Scheme visa was with Temporary Skill Shortage Subclass 482 and had a permanent residency option after three years employment on that visa. Employer criteria Applicant and position criteria For further information regarding High Income Employees see the Fairwork Ombudsman website. Features Employer criteria Applicant and position criteria Features Startups seeking to access the GTES must meet at least one of the following requirements: As the pilot progresses, we will review the criteria for startups and consider how the GTES can assist a broader range of startup businesses in the future. Important points and summary: Any position filled through a GTS agreement must provide opportunities for Australians. These opportunities include the: The main features of the GTS are: You must provide evidence of LMT when requesting a GTS agreement. Evidence must be provided for each specific occupation sought under the GTS agreement. Within the 12 month pilot period (until 30 June 2019) no further LMT will need to be undertaken for these occupations. Evidence will not need to be provided at the nomination stage of the visa process within the pilot period. If you are seeking a deed of variation to a GTS agreement to add new occupations, you must provide evidence of LMT before these occupations can be added to the agreement. You must provide evidence of 2 attempts for each specific occupation to recruit qualified and experienced Australians. This can include 2 pieces from the same overall method, for example: Where it is impossible to provide evidence of 2 attempts, for example because of a very limited global pool of suitable people and where the methods of LMT listed below are not suitable, explain these circumstances in the GTS request form you submit to the Department. LMT can be undertaken by a third party if authorised to do so by the employer (for example, an associated entity or a contracted party, such as a recruitment agency or executive search firm). Where a position is an intra corporate transfer of an existing employee of a company to another branch or associated entity of that company operating in Australia, the employer can provide a formal letter of transfer or other documentation outlining the intra-corporate transfer arrangement as evidence of LMT. Under the GTS, there are no prescribed requirements for the content or duration of advertisements. The Department will assess whether any advertisement genuinely tests the Australian labour market. The following table is intended to assist you in ensuring the have undertaken appropriate LMT. Note: ITOs do not apply to the Global Talent Scheme.Established business stream
