This is a guide for employers with practical tips on recruiting and retaining tech talent from migrant and refugee backgrounds. It is part of the Billion Dollar Benefit series, a campaign to support skilled migrants and refugees to work in their fields of expertise and, in doing so, contribute billions of dollars to the Australian economy.

The first Billion Dollar Benefit report, launched in June 2023, outlined a roadmap of five actions for governments, employers and NGOs to implement by 2025 to break down employment barriers and unleash the economic potential of migrants and refugees. This guide complements that with practical actions employers can take to welcome and tap into Australia's full diversity of tech talent.
