๐ฆ๐บ MIA Calls for Change to Migration Priorities
The Migration Institute of Australia (MIA) has renewed its call for the Australian Government to reconsider the de-prioritisation of highly skilled offshore workers and offshore partners of Australian citizens under Ministerial Directions 117 and 119.
MIA says the current arrangements are creating uncertainty for Australian businesses, skilled workers and families, with some applicants potentially facing lengthy delays.
