Stronger Information Sharing, Stronger Borders Form Agreement Between Australia and the United States

The government of the United States of America and the government of Australia have signed an agreement for the sharing of visa and immigration information, bolstering the capacity of each country to confirm identities of foreign nationals. The agreement for the sharing of visa and immigration information, which was signed at Parliament House in Canberra on 27 August 2014, will enable two-way information sharing between Australia and the United States to better protect the safety and security of citizens of the United States and Australia, and facilitate legitimate travel and business.
