For leaders shaping the future.
A pathway for individuals whose work stands at the frontier of their field — where impact, innovation and expertise are recognised globally, not just locally.
Exceptional, not just qualified.
The Global Talent pathway is designed for people whose careers demonstrate unusual depth, originality or influence.
It rewards individuals who are not simply “qualified” — but exceptional. Those who have contributed to their sector in ways that are measurable, recognised and difficult to replicate.
This pathway is one of Australia’s most prestigious permanent residency routes — but also one of the most misunderstood. It requires more than achievements; it requires a coherent narrative of excellence supported by defensible evidence.
Who this pathway is for
What the Department looks for.
GTI is about influence. Your profile must transcend geography.

Impact, not just experience

A profile beyond geography
Your work should have significance beyond your immediate team, company or city. It must be internationally recognised.
A credible nominator
A respected Australian citizen, permanent resident or organisation who can attest to your national and global impact.
Future potential

What sets Global Talent apart.
Is this right for you?

"If the answer is “not yet”, we can still help you understand what gaps need to be addressed before a future application."
