Global Talent Independent Program (GTI) A GTI program is a pathway for highly skilled professionals to obtain a Distinguished Talent visa to live and work in Australia permanently. Below are the five key points to consider and address for a successful GTI application. 1. Areas of talent Under the GTI program, candidates must have an internationally recognised record of exceptional and outstanding achievement in one of the following areas: • AgTech; • Space and Advanced Manufacturing; • FinTech; • Energy and Mining Technology; • MedTech; • Cyber Security; or • Quantum Information, Advanced Digital, Data Science and ICT. The program includes opportunities for PhD Graduates and PhD Students in the above sectors. PhD Students in this cohort can start the GTI process as soon as they know that they will submit their thesis in the next 6 months. 2. Exceptional and Outstanding A GTI candidate must have an exceptional and outstanding achievements. This would include evidence of any awards or patents or publications, memberships or senior roles in the nominated field. All applicants must be nominated by a recognised organisation or an individual in
Australia who is in the same field as the applicant. 3. Internationally Recognised The applicant or their work must be internationally recognised. Generally, this means providing evidence of recognition in countries other than the applicant's home country. 4. Asset to Australia Applicant must demonstrate that their skills and achievements would be an asset to Australia. They must outline how their skills are likely to impact positively on the Australia's economy or add some new skills to Australian economy. Applicants must be able to attract a salary equivalent or higher than the Fair Work High Income Threshold (FWHIT), which is currently AU$153,600. 5. Processing Priorities The Minister for Immigration has made a formal direction that sets out the processing priority for applications in the GTI program. Highest priority is given to applicants who: Have made an application in relation to one of the above sectors and currently earn above AU$153,600 per annum; or have a job offer from an Australian employer with a salary equivalent or greater to AU$153,000 or can provide sufficient evidence that they are likely to attract a salary equal or greater to AU$153,000. Applicants who do not fall into one of the higher priority categories will still be processed,
but are likely to take more time than those above.
