The Australian immigration system is designed to attract 
skilled and qualified workers with the potential and skills to 
contribute to the country's economic development. 
 
The permanent migration program is planned annually, 
wherein multiple immigration programs are announced as 
part of the Federal Budget every year. The objective of the 
immigration budget is to boost economic growth and drive 
social development in the post-pandemic era.
 
The 2022-23 migration planning level has 195,000 places 
and focuses on inviting more applicants to address the labor 
shortage in Australia. More migrants will help Australia in its 
economic recovery in the post-pandemic situation. 
 
The October 2022-23 migration programming level will consist of 195,000 places with the following 
composition. The details of the program composition will be out soon after the Government delivers 
the 2022-23 October Budget. Meanwhile, let's look at the previous budget to get an idea of how the 
Government will plan the latest budget to drive economic growth. 
 
Skill Migration (109, 900 places) - Under this stream, the Government of Australia has booked a 
total of 109, 900 places. The skilled stream allows the Australian Government to welcome 
skilled migrants worldwide to drive economic growth. 
Family migration (50,000 places) - This stream allows Australian 
citizens or permanent residents to bring their partner or immediate family 
members to Australia. This year, Australia has booked a total of 50,000 
places to help families reunite in Australia.
 
 From 2022-23 onwards, the Government will grant Partner visas on a 
demand-driven basis to facilitate family reunification. The goal is to 
reduce the application processing time.  
 40,500 partner visas are estimated for 2022-23 for planning purposes. 
This estimate is not subject to a ceiling. 
 Australia has estimated demand for 3000 Child visas for 2022-23, 
noting this category is demand-driven and not subject to a ceiling. 
 
Special Eligibility visa (100 places) - This stream has 100 places and 
is designed for exceptional circumstances, including permanent residents 
returning to Australia after a period overseas.
Program Size and Composition
 
The migration planning program is determined using a 
specific size and composition by the Government of 
Australia while keeping the annual budget in mind. The 
Government consults with all Australian states, territories, 
unions, industries, representatives, and community 
organizations to determine a specific year's migration 
planning levels and immigration policies. 
 
Hence, the Department of Home Affairs requests public 
submissions as part of the 2022-23 Migration Program 
planning process for the 2022-23 October Budget.
 
These public submissions, economic and labor force 
forecasts, net overseas migration, and financial modeling 
make the migration level more effective and impactful.
