National Innovation visa (subclass 858)

The modern flagship for exceptional talent — including global researchers, entrepreneurs, innovative investors, plus creatives and elite athletes. You first submit an EOI; if the Department is interested, they may invite you to apply. We help you position the evidence so it’s clear, honest and strong.

Who fits

Internationally recognised track record & outcomes
Clear benefit to Australia’s economy/innovation
Ability to hit the ground running (networks, plans, runway)

What we do

Evidence strategy: outcomes, impact, citations, revenue, IP
EOI drafting that tells a coherent story (no buzzword soup)
Application build: documents, health/character, timing

Already on 188? We’ll steer you to 888

BIIP closed to new applicants on 31 July 2024. If you lodged earlier, your file can still move forward. We audit your stream’s rules, model turnover/investment thresholds, and line up clean evidence for 888. If you’re re-thinking the pathway, we can walk you through your options calmly.

Note: Some withdrawn BIIP applications may be eligible for VAC refunds; it depends on your stream and dates.
