Australia has a rare opportunity to strengthen our nation by attracting world-leading researchers to our shores.
The Global Talent Attraction Program aims to create transformative opportunities, where exceptional minds come to Australia, share their expertise, and help drive long-term prosperity.
I invite you to join us, so together we can strengthen our nation's foundations.

Our ambition is to bring to Australia world leading talent, so that together we can advance our nation.
We are leading a national effort to attract world-leading scientists and technologists to Australia, through the Where Science Lives: Global Talent Attraction Program. We鈥檙e partnering with institutions, research organisations and governments across Australia to deliver tailored support and long-term integration for researchers and their families.
Our program is a nation-building initiative that aims to strengthen the fabric of 精东视频, but we can鈥檛 do it alone.
We invite you to join us in this national effort by supporting one of our essential areas below. Your support will help bring world-class scientific talent and their families to Australia, where they can drive innovation, strengthen research, and deliver lasting impact.
We invite donors at all levels to contribute to the Program and join our collaborative network of donors who are dedicated to bringing world-leading researchers and their families to Australia.
This shared fund of collective contributions will be used to support research positions, fund relocation, and provide essential wraparound support to help researchers and their families settle and thrive.
Every gift plays a vital role. Your contributions can achieve more together.
Our ambition is to bring to Australia world leading talent, so that together we can advance our nation.
Science lives here in our country and in our culture. A place where knowledge is valued, nurtured, and shared.
Australia stands out as a destination for science: a multicultural society and stable environment where science is supported, standards of excellence are upheld, research infrastructure is of the highest quality, where collaborations are meaningful, and where research is connected to real-world problems.
A place where the natural environment, cultural richness, and democratic values create the foundations for enduring scientific excellence.
And Australia as a place for researchers and their families to build their lives, not only through their professional contributions, but as part of the communities they join.
Science belongs here, and so do the people who drive it.

Australia has a strong history of scientists migrating to Australia for our national and global benefit.
When Professor Michelle Simmons moved to Australia, she played a pivotal role in advancing the field of quantum technologies, which now positions Australia as a global leader. Her work laid the foundation for breakthroughs in quantum computing, a field that has far-reaching implications across industries such as healthcare, cybersecurity and advanced manufacturing. Thanks to her pioneering efforts, Australia has become a hub for cutting-edge quantum research, attracting further investment, collaboration and talent. This is the kind of multiplier effect that happens when world-class scientists contribute to our nation鈥檚 future.
When Professor Lidia Morawska brought her expertise in airborne transmission to Australia, she reshaped how the world responded to COVID-19. Her research has had global impacts, from improving public health policies to changing how we approach indoor air quality and disease transmission. This has had a ripple effect, influencing industries from healthcare to environmental science, and sparking ongoing research collaborations.
In 1994, astrophysicist Professor Brian Schmidt moved to Australia, where he was involved in building the High-Z Supernova Search Team. His work earned him a Nobel Prize in Physics in 2011 for the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the universe through observations of distant supernovae.
