You must intend to work in a skilled position as part of a reciprocal staff exchange arrangement with an eligible organisation in Australia. There must be a written agreement between your organisation and the organisation in Australia that sets out the staff in Australia and overseas who will take part in the exchange, the skilled positions to be filled by the participants, and how long the exchange will last. You must have the necessary skills and/or experience to perform the skilled position set out in the exchange agreement, and the exchange arrangement must benefit both you and the Australian citizen or permanent resident taking part.
