去澳洲做两年访问学者，请问Visiting Academic Visa (subclass 419)是工作签证吗？对以后可能的技术移民有什么用处吗？
多谢！

This visa is for professional academics to visit Australia on a temporary basis, to observe or participate in an Australian research project at an Australian tertiary or research institution. You must not receive remuneration other than a contribution towards living and travel expenses. You must be sponsored and nominated by an Australian tertiary or research institution for this visa.

What does this visa let me do?

With this visa you can:

    collaborate with other academics in Australian research projects
    stay in Australia for as long as your visa is valid
    bring any eligible secondary applicants with you to Australia (secondary applicants can work and study)
    leave and enter Australia as many times as you want while your visa is valid.
