Where do Australia's Migration Levels stand? (JULY 2020 UPDATE)

The Department of Home Affairs has advised State and Territory Government’s they would not be receiving nomination allocations for skilled visa subclasses 491 and 190 on 1 July 2020. As a result, most States and Territories have announced that their skilled migration programs will remain closed until further notice.

Due to the COVID-19, the date for Federal Budget 2020-2021 has been delayed by the Federal Government – it will be handed down in Parliament on 6 October 2020.

Australia is expecting to record a significant drop in net migration levels due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Australia’s overseas migration intake is expected to shrink by more than 85 percent this financial year (2020-2021) due to widespread travel bans brought on by the coronavirus.
