Australia’s Net Migration

Due to Covid-19 travel restrictions and border closures, the numbers of net overseas migration are significantly affected.  While Net Overseas migration was planned to be 271,300 this year, it is now expected to fall to just 35,000 in 2020-2021.  

The negative net overseas migration will bring down Australia’s future population.

 

Migration planning level

2020-2021 migration planning level is to retain previous fiscal year’s planning ceiling 160,000 places.  However, this is an interim arrangement and Australian government will announce new migration planning level tonight.

The General Skilled Migration Program (GSM) – Subclass 189, 190, 491, 188, 132 have also been adversely impacted.  All states and territories can only offer nominations to limited occupations which are critical to Australia’s handling and recovery from the coronavirus pandemic.
