Program size and composition

You may not know that the size, as well as the composition of the Migration program, is set annually by the Budget process of the Australian Government. It is informed after broad public consultations with governments of the states and territories, business and community groups, and with the wider public. Public opinions, projections of economy and labor force, foreign studies, net migration abroad and economic and fiscal modeling all are considered when migration program is planned.
