📢 Big News for Australian Migration! The 2026–27 Planning Levels Are In.

The Australian Government has officially announced that the permanent Migration Program for 2026–27 will be set at 185,000 places—keeping the planning levels and the approximate 70:30 split between Skilled and Family streams steady from last year.

The biggest takeaway? A massive win for onshore applicants. 🇦🇺

To support timely transitions to permanent residency and manage net overseas migration, the government is heavily prioritizing migrants already living, working, and contributing to Australia.

Here is the official breakdown of the 185,000 places:

🛠️ Skilled Migration Program (132,240 places | ~71%)
Designed to boost economic productivity and fill critical shortages in the Australian labor market.

❤️ Australian Family Program (52,460 places | ~28%)
Predominantly made up of Partner visas, allowing Australians to reunite with loved ones and providing clear pathways to citizenship.

⭐ Special Eligibility (300 places)
Covering visas for those in unique circumstances, including permanent residents returning after time overseas.
🌍 What if you are applying from offshore?

Don't worry—the remaining 55,110 offshore places are specifically earmarked for high‑skilled migrants who can help drive long-term economic growth and boost productivity.
💼 What does this mean for your visa journey?

With a clear priority on onshore applicants and high-skilled offshore professionals, timing and strategy are more important than ever.

Wondering how these planning levels impact your pathway to permanent residency?

🔹 Working Holiday Maker (WHM) Reforms: Changes are coming to the WHM program to make it fairer and reduce barriers to work, including an expanded ballot system to help manage visa numbers.
