Australia Welcoming Musical Talent

Australia is home to over 55,000 music professionals and stages more than 500 festivals each year. In Sydney, intimate jazz venues spotlight emerging artists. In Melbourne, flagship outdoor festivals pack in crowds and performers shine at every event. Music Directors, Instrumentalists and Singers are all covered on the Medium- and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), so sponsorship via visa is open and transparent.
