Australia is planning to welcome 185,000 permanent residents (PRs) in 2025 as part of the Migration Planning Levels for 2024-2025. This strategic initiative aims to address labor market needs, particularly in priority sectors, while facilitating visa processing for regional areas. The program also focuses on enhancing the domestic skilled workforce, reuniting families, and strengthening community ties.

The Migration Program for 2024-2025 is structured into three key streams:

  1. Skills Stream: This stream is designed to bolster the Australian economy by filling labor shortages, particularly in regional areas. It includes categories like Employer-Sponsored, Skilled Independent, and State/Territory Nominated visas, with a total of 132,200 places allocated.

  2. Family Stream: Aimed at reuniting families, this stream offers partner visas and citizenship pathways for dependents. A total of 52,500 places are allocated to this stream.

  3. Special Eligibility Stream: This smaller stream, with 300 places, addresses special circumstances such as permanent residents returning to Australia after a period abroad.
