The number of people entering Australia through the permanent migration program will remain unchanged, with the government maintaining its annual cap of 185,000 places.
It was confirmed on Tuesday morning that the 2025-2026 intake will remain at the same levels and settings as the 2024-2025 program, with a focus on skilled migration.
The government said it has undertaken consultations with the states and territories, which recommended maintaining the size and composition of the program.

The Department of Home Affairs is said to be handling visa applications in line with last year’s standards, indicating no alterations in the program’s procedures, as stated by the government.

The government’s migration program and intake have been the source of protest, with thousands marching on the weekend across the nation over what they perceived to be high levels of immigration.
According to the latest data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Australia recorded net overseas migration of 446,000 people in the 12 months to 30 June 2024.
The largest group of migrant arrivals consisted of temporary students, with 207,000 people.
