Analysis of the latest policy changes of Australian immigration in 2023

4.27 Australian Home Affairs Minister Clare Ellen O 'Neil appeared at the National Press Club to unveil Australia's new immigration policy. This time, it is a general policy. The details are yet to be released. Below is our translation of the government documents for your reference.

Prioritising the people we need to enhance our economic prosperity and security

We will clearly define the role of our migration system in addressing the challenges and

opportunities our nation faces. We will also redesign the structure and settings of our programs

(permanent and temporary) to attract the skilled workforce and facilitate the international

engagement we need to enhance our economic prosperity and security.

The text frequently uses the term "Security" to describe national security and uses the term "Human Capital" to describe people with sophisticated technologies, such as precision machines

Machinery, chip technology, similar fields of high-tech talent. Cutting-edge talents play a certain role in safeguarding national security. The Australian government wants to suck it

Attract more cutting-edge technical talents, and speed up the visa review of cutting-edge technical talents

Making it simple and efficient for employers and migrants

We will simplify the system to make it easier and faster for the people with the skills we need. We

will also ensure migration is complementary to, and not a substitute for, a highly skilled local

workforce – this will involve defining a formal, evidence-based role for Jobs and Skills Australia in

our migration system, using advice from tripartite mechanisms.

Mention that the immigration system needs to be updated and simplified

Delivering outcomes for Australians and migrants post-arrival

Building on the work already underway within the Government, we will create a new nation

building endeavour with States and Territory governments, to ensure our migration system

responds to the needs of all Australia, including those in the regions, while ensuring proper

investment in housing, infrastructure and services to secure the benefits of migration. We will also

do more to assist migrants to achieve better labour market outcomes and we will do more to

design out exploitation from the migration system.

After people have arrived in Australia, how to emigrate, students change the original GTE to GSE (this may not make a big difference, details will be public later

Cloth). A lot of new policies are likely to be announced in May and June, and there is also mention of automatic issuance of graduate work visas for international students who graduate normally

(For agents, the sale of 485 graduate work permits may vary greatly) but the details are not clear, because it involves each student

School end of term time, student failure, course end time and graduation ceremony time issues.

Prioritising the people we need to enhance our economic prosperity and security

We need to clearly define how our migration system can help Australia, by:

Adopting a clear set of objectives and principles to guide the migration system for the coming

decades

The direction that new immigrants want to get the PR in Australia should be made clearer. Before, the immigration path was relatively vague, and most people did not know what they wanted to emigrate

Need to study in Australia first? Work first? Re-employer sponsorship? 408 again? Wait a minute. According to the information released so far, immigration is hoping to give

Come up with a clear immigration route, and you just follow that path and you get PR.

The employer-sponsored part of Labour market testing(LMT) has been eliminated, which was originally Temporary Skilled Migration Income

The Threshold (TSMIT) income of $53,900 is increased to $70,000 to match the current average income level, if it has been pressed

53900, may bring down the Local income, because the immigrant salary has been low, the boss than the Local why not hire a salary

What about people with lower needs? So this number will become a floating value.

We need to reform the way we select those who are offered permanent residence:

- Changing how we select permanent skilled migrants (reforming ‘the points test’) to focus on

factors that best contribute to lifting Australia’s productivity, participation, and addressing our

ageing population challenges, all while meeting our strategic security imperatives

- Radically reshaping the Global Talent and Business Innovation & Investment programs, and

building a new, simple pathway to attract the migrants we need to drive innovation

If you want to apply for PR directly

The system for calculating scores may undergo major changes, details of which have yet to be announced

There will be major reforms to the Investment migration and the GTI. There have been many suggestions that the investment migration should be cut, but the final report does not say that it should be cut

After all, there is no developed country without investment immigration, but how should the process of investment immigration be changed

It is subject to major changes, so according to the overview document, 188ABC May undergo major changes, again details are yet to be released

Regarding the part of GTI, the key parts have not changed, but the details will be more detailed

Making it simple and efficient for employers and migrants

We need a system that improves the experiences of people who interact with the migration

system through:

- Simplifying the system (e.g. visa categories, rules, requirements) and improving the user

experience of employers and migrants

- After addressing the most acute aspects of the visa backlog, continuing to make the system

faster and more efficient through investment in IT, data and people capabilities

- Placing small business on a more level playing field by exploring a switch to monthly employer

fees and charges rather than a large up-front investment

We need an evidence-based approach to migration decisions, and better coordination and

integration of the labour market, the training and education systems with the migration system.

This means:

- Establishing a formal role for Jobs and Skills Australia in defining Australia’s skills needs using

evidence, including advice from tripartite mechanisms

- Formalising feedback between the migration system and the training and education system to

ensure labour shortages are dealt with in a comprehensive, planned manner

- Once a formal role is established for Jobs and Skills Australia in our migration system, many of

the drivers of complexity can be simplified and removed 

The employer sponsorship section also mentioned that the details will be simplified and the system will be updated

Generally speaking, the period of favorable immigration has come, and in May 22, Australia officially went through the ruling party, and Australia's immigration system has been in a year

After the implementation of the new policy in July this year, Australia's immigration policy may make Australia more attractive to migrants.
