A Review of the Migration System – summary of announced changes

On 2 September 2022, the Minister for Home Affairs, the Hon Clare O’Neil MP announced a comprehensive review of Australia’s migration system.

In April 2023, the Minister announced anticipated changes to the current system. Below is a summary of the announced changes noting we are yet to see published changes to the law.

  • Pathway to permanent residency for all skilled temporary workers to come into effect by the end of 2023.
  • Fewer visa types including potentially cutting out the Significant Investor Provisional Visa (the $5million dollar complying investment visa)
  • Splitting the work visa system into three tiers depending on the applicant’s salary and skillset.
  • Changing the points tests – we will wait to see what this means
  • From 1 July 2023, increase of the salary threshold for employer sponsorship (called the TSMIT) to $70,000 (currently $53,900)
