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 has reportedly been processing visas based on last year’s levels, so there has been no change to the program’s operations, according to the government.
