About Australia Mates Visa Complete Process and Details

On May 23, 2023, Australia and India formalized a Migration and Mobility Partnership Arrangement (MMPA). This bilateral framework facilitates and encourages reciprocal migration and mobility between the two nations, while also dealing with concerns related to unauthorized and irregular migration.

One of the most thrilling features of the Migration and Mobility Partnership Arrangement is the launch of the Mobility Arrangement for Talented Early-Professionals Scheme, abbreviated as MATES. MATES is a specialized avenue designed for young Indian graduates and early-career professionals, providing them with an extraordinary chance to delve into Australia's vibrant job market, acquire priceless international experience, and contribute their expertise to various industries.
