Overview
If you’re an Indian professional or business owner planning to attend conferences, client meetings, or explore partnerships in Australia, you’ll need an Australia Business Visa (Subclass 600 – Business Stream).
This visa is specifically designed for short-term business activities — allowing you to visit Australia to attend meetings, sign contracts, explore trade opportunities, or represent your organization at events. It does not permit you to take up employment or paid work while in Australia.
Australia is home to some of the world’s most dynamic business cities — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide — offering rich networking and global expansion opportunities. Applying for this visa is your first step toward connecting with Australia’s thriving business community.
You can apply directly through the official Australian Department of Home Affairs portal: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/
