Australia is squandering the potentially enormous benefits of temporary skilled migration. Temporary skilled migration is unpopular, and in response politicians are restricting sponsorship to fewer, often lower-skilled jobs.

In this special Grattan Institute speed briefing Webinar event, our migration policy experts Brendan Coates and Henry Sherrell will discuss their upcoming report Fixing temporary skilled migration: A better deal for Australia.

Brendan and Henry will identify how Australia can get a better deal by rethinking its approach. They will propose a new visa category, and they will answer your questions. All you need to know, in just 20 minutes.
