Australia Introduces Migration Policy Changes and Skilled Visa Processing Priorities
Australia is implementing new migration policy changes over the next 12 months affecting student, visitor, skilled migration, and working holiday visas. The government aims to maintain migration system integrity and meet net overseas migration targets. Key measures include tighter student visa restrictions to prevent visa hopping, action against unmeritorious visa applications, and priority processing for skilled visa applications in sectors like healthcare, construction, education, and agriculture. Priority processing affects application order but does not guarantee visa approval. Updates also enhance protections for child victims and address hate and criminal behavior.
