THE partners of foreign workers on temporary visas will be able to come to Australia in a policy change designed to entice skilled workers.Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone said changes to "457" visas to cater for interdependent partners would take effect tomorrow. "Australia was missing out on highly skilled temporary entrants, such as doctors and other health professionals, because we did not have an interdependent category," she said.
