Sub-program 1.3: Business and Temporary Entry
Objective
To enable the fast entry of genuine travellers and people of economic benefit to Australia, while ensuring that border integrity is maintained and public health standards are met.
Description
Business and temporary entry programs are designed to support the Government's economic and business mobility goals.
This sub-program is delivered through a range of flexible business and temporary entry categories that provide for either short-term entry or permanent entry, tailored to meet the needs of the business sector and the Australian community.
Public health costs and risks are minimised through medical screening for entry to Australia.
The Business and Temporary Entry Branch coordinates policy and planning for the business and temporary entry programs and provides support for service delivery in Australia and overseas.
Performance information
Outcomes are measured by the extent to which:
- business mobility is enhanced;
- entry selection contributes to Australian economic development;
- the business sector and the Australian community are satisfied with the processes;
- the greater proportion of health assessments is completed within the service delivery target; and
- the Minister is satisfied with the advice provided.
