Permanent Migration Program Numbers Boosted
The Albanese government announced at the recent Jobs and Skills Summit that it would increase the Permanent Migration Program numbers from 160,00 to 195,000 this financial year.
With labour and skills shortages at severe levels, this is welcome news for industries reliant on overseas workers. This additional 35,000 places will reflect a return to the high point of migrant intake that Australia saw a decade ago.
