Australia’s 2026-27 Migration Program has officially been announced - and there are some major shifts applicants need to know about.

The Government is continuing to prioritise:
✔️ Skilled migration
✔️ Employer-sponsored pathways
✔️ Applicants already living in Australia

Some of the biggest changes include:
📈 A major increase in Employer Sponsored visas
📈 More Skilled Independent places
📉 A sharp reduction in Regional nomination places

If you’re planning to apply for permanent residency, state nomination, or employer sponsorship, these changes could directly impact your strategy and timing.
