Federal Parliament’s Joint Standing Committee on Migration is set to hold public hearings in Sydney as part of its inquiry into the Business Innovation and Investment Programme (BIIP).
NSW also nominated 175 migrants for the Significant Investor Visa programme, which will represent a minimum of $262 million in new investment into the state if all are approved. The number of skilled migrants sponsored by NSW doubled in the past financial year.
The BIIP is designed to increase entrepreneurial talent and diversify business expertise in Australia.
Committee Chair Louise Markus said the Business Innovation and Investment Programme has the potential to generate a significant economic benefit to Australia.
“It is important that we encourage the creation of genuine and sustainable business opportunities benefiting both the Australian economy and workforce,” she said.
