Encouraging Australia's Diaspora to come home

摘要

In March a Senate committee reported on their inquiry into Australian expatriates. They said, 'We should embrace our expatriate community as part of the Australian nation, and recognise that our expatriates are an important part of Australian society.' Their report was part of a national trend to recognise the value of our expats, and to encourage them to re-engage with home. In Victoria that's led to the establishment of a company, VESKI (Victorian Endowment for Science, Knowledge and Innovation), charged with encouraging outstanding expatriates to return to Victoria.
