Changes to Australian Immigration Laws Coming in June

Starting in June, Australia will be implementing several updates to its immigration policies. These changes are aimed at streamlining the immigration process and ensuring that the country's immigration system remains fair and efficient.

?

Key changes include:

?

• New Visa Categories: Australia will introduce new visa categories to better cater to the needs of skilled workers, students, and family members of Australian residents and citizens.

?

• Updated Points System: There will be revisions to the points system used to assess eligibility for skilled migration visas, potentially affecting the minimum score required for certain visas.

?

• Priority Processing: The government will prioritize the processing of visa applications for certain occupations or regions where there is a high demand for skilled workers.

?

• Increased Application Fees: Some visa application fees may increase as part of the government's efforts to recover the costs associated with processing and managing visa applications.

?

• Changes to Work Rights: There may be changes to the work rights granted to visa holders, including restrictions on certain types of work or industries.

?

If you have been considering starting the immigration process and you qualify, it may be a good idea to begin before these changes take effect. This way, you can ensure that you meet the current eligibility criteria and avoid any potential negative impacts from the upcoming changes.

It is important to stay informed about these changes and how they may impact your immigration plans.
