The Australian Government forecasts a sharp reduction in Net Overseas Migration to 245.000 people in 2026-27 and a further decrease to 225.000 in 2027-28. This is the result of a series of temporary Migration control measures such as increasing Visa fees, raising salary thresholds, expanding the WHM ballot and strengthening supervision of Student Visas.
