Australia's migration system is to be overhauled after a once-in-a-generation review found it's not meeting the needs of the nation. The review panel has handed down 38 policy reform considerations to the government which has informed a draft outline for a new migration system.
Key Points
- Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil, the report states the system needs clearer objectives as the migration system has been found to be broken and creates an environment ripe for exploitation.
- The former head of Prime Minister and Cabinet, Martin Parkinson, is leading the expert panel, which he says the overhaul will require a long-term commitment.
- One of the biggest changes will raise the minimum amount of money employers need to offer to sponsor a migrant from July the 1st.
