Abstract

This article examines the temporary migration of information and communications technology (ICT) workers from India to Australia under the 457 temporary business entry visa category that was introduced in 1996. The number of Indians arriving in Australia under this visa class has risen more rapidly than that of any major source country, suggesting the competitiveness of Indian ICT workers in the Australian labor market. The article examines the main characteristics of Indian ICT workers migrating temporarily to Australia, analyzes the underlying causes for the considerable increase in numbers and points to some concerns connected to their temporary migration to Australia.
