The Subclass 408 Temporary Activity Visa (Staff Exchange Arrangements) is designed to facilitate reciprocal, temporary exchanges between Australian organisations and their overseas counterparts. These arrangements support capacity‑building, knowledge transfer and professional development, while enabling businesses to access specialist skills on a short‑term, non‑ongoing basis. The staff exchange visa program promotes collaborative business and industry partnerships by allowing Australian and overseas organisations to temporarily exchange personnel in a structured and mutually beneficial manner.
