Major positive news! Following ACS, Engineers Australia (EA) has officially become a GTI nominating body—plus step-by-step application procedures for EA and ACS nominations.

As is well known, a key requirement of the Global Talent Independent (GTI) visa is nomination by a high-calibre endorser in the same field—whether an Australian organization or an Australian permanent resident or citizen—whose national reputation lends credibility to the nominee. Since first engaging with the GTI visa program at the end of 2019, the GTI visa has undergone several major policy adjustments, during which the role of the nominator in case assessment has become especially prominent. Many outstanding overseas applicants wish to apply for the GTI visa but struggle to secure a nominator. Recently, however, the Australian Computer Society (ACS) became the first GTI-nominated body, continuously optimizing its process—including eliminating the awkward requirement that applicants must first receive an invitation before being nominated—in order to support more exceptional talent in obtaining GTI visas. Today, Engineers Australia (EA) has officially joined the list of official GTI nominating bodies. According to EA’s published guidelines, it currently provides nomination services exclusively for highly skilled engineering professionals—but only after rigorous assessment and endorsement. The specific procedural steps are as follows: 1. Online self-assessment. 2. Submission of application materials. 3. Assessment and nomination. So, how can one successfully secure EA nomination? What supporting materials are needed to impress the assessing officers? 1. Academic degree certificates; 2. A highly refined personal statement of 500–1,000 words; 3. Evidence demonstrating outstanding achievements—including verifiable web links and supporting documentation.

Please compare the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and the American Chemical Society (ACS) in terms of similarities and differences. Which is more prestigious: RSC Fellow or ACS Fellow?

As the world’s largest scientific society, the American Chemical Society (ACS) boasts over 150,000 members across more than 200 local sections worldwide. Anyone committed to pursuing a scientific career—especially in chemistry—is eligible to join ACS. ACS’s Core Mission ACS’s objectives fall into four broad categories: (1) research and technological innovation; (2) advancing science education and cultivating the scientific workforce; (3) promoting scientific diversity; and (4) fostering environmental sustainability. As a highly respected scientific organization, ACS influences both the public and private sectors—supporting underrepresented groups, protecting intellectual property rights, and driving sustainability through applied scientific innovation. Crucially, ACS is deeply committed to promoting diversity, equity, inclusion, and respect. What ACS Offers Career Development To assist job seekers at all career stages—early, mid-, and late-career—ACS provides an online job portal. Additionally, ACS offers training workshops, webinars, skills assessments, and professional networking groups to help members advance their careers. Funding and Awards ACS also supports talented students and researchers through grants, fellowships, and scholarships—covering individuals from young students to technicians and postdoctoral fellows. Conferences and Events ACS organizes multiple international conferences annually, bringing together scientists, researchers, students, and policymakers to share cutting-edge scientific findings. Examples of ACS-convened conferences include: “A Changing World and Sustainability,” “Harnessing the Power of Data,” “Advancing Chemistry,” and “The Intersections of Chemistry.”
