Work and Live in Australia for 2 Years- MATES Visa for Indians

Australia has announced a new initiative, Mobility Arrangement for Talented Early-professionals Scheme (MATES), aimed at attracting top Indian talent. This scheme will allow Indian graduates and early-career professionals to live and work in Australia for up to two years.

Key Points of the MATES Scheme:

• Eligibility: Indian nationals who have graduated from top universities in India.
• Visa: Successful applicants will be granted a Temporary Work (International Relations) (Subclass 403) visa.
• Visa Allocation: 3,000 visa places will be allocated annually through a pre-application ballot system.
• Dependents: Participants can bring their dependents to Australia.
• Eligible Fields: Renewable energy, mining, engineering, information and communications technology, artificial intelligence, financial technology, and agricultural technology.

The MATES scheme is designed to strengthen the people-to-people ties between India and Australia. It offers Indian professionals an opportunity to gain valuable work experience in Australia and contribute to the Australian economy. Additionally, Australian businesses and industries will benefit from access to a pool of highly skilled and talented individuals.

The pre-application ballot process for the MATES scheme will commence in December 2024.

Both India and Australia stand to gain from this initiative. Indian professionals will have opportunities for global experience, while Australian industries will benefit from their skills and knowledge.
