Permanent Migration Program Planning Levels

The Australian Department of Home Affairs has released updated planning levels for the national Permanent Migration Program, outlining target allocations across Skilled Migration, Employer Nominations, Regional Visas, and Family stream categories.

The program is designed to achieve economic growth, address regional skill shortages, and facilitate family reunification while maintaining strict legislative and public interest compliance standards.

At SLAW, our registered migration practitioners closely monitor these planning ceilings and legislative quotas to optimize strategy and timing for client visa applications across all visa subclasses.
