Published on October 1, 2026

Should Australia have a national strategy for its global talent and skills? 91% of respondents to our September survey say yes.

When asked what such a strategy should prioritise, the leading responses were:
#1 Creating pathways for Australians to return
#2 Connecting internationally experienced talent with employers
#3 Building international networks and influence
#4 Keeping Australians overseas connected to Australia

                 

                   

Australia has an extraordinary global asset in its people. The opportunity is to connect it.
