NSW also welcomes expatriate Australians returning after living and working overseas and people from other Australian States and Territories.

With its many employment opportunities, Sydney is a great place to live, work and do business. This vibrant harbour city offers a dynamic business environment supported by world class facilities and a quality lifestyle.

In 2005, the NSW Government expanded its efforts to attract to Sydney and NSW highly skilled professionals and business people in the fields of finance, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology and information and communications technology.

This builds on the State's existing business and regional migration programs, which, over the past three years, have supported more than 600 business migrants to Sydney and NSW and more than 1,000 skilled migrants to regional NSW.
