The Australian Government declared their overhauled migration strategy today.

The Migration Strategy outlines five core objectives for Australia’s migration system. To achieve these objectives, the Government will deliver eight key actions, supported by more than 25 new policy commitments and existing commitments already made by Government.

The reforms focus on:

  • targeted skilled migration and new streamlined pathways for top global talent
  • higher standards for international students and education providers to drive quality in international education
  • visa settings to tackle worker exploitation and protect wages and conditions
  • support for regional Australia to get fast access to skilled workers
  • a new approach to migration planning to help return migration back to pre-pandemic levels and to get the right skills in the right places.
