The UK and Australia have signed a trade deal

  • This is the first trade agreement the UK has negotiated from scratch since Brexit.

In brief:

  • deal allows U.K. firms to bid for an extra £10 billion worth of Australian public sector contracts each year
  • UK services suppliers like architects and lawyers will be able to work in Australia without being subject to its changing skilled visas list
  • removes tariffs on almost all goods — although there are initial protections for sensitive items like beef, lamb and other agricultural products
