Skilled Migration continues to dominate the program (around 70%), showing Australia’s commitment to attracting talented graduates and professionals.

Processing remains smooth and uninterrupted, providing stability for applicants.

For international students, recent graduates, and Post-Study Work (PSW) visa holders, this stability means a predictable migration pathway, but it also signals the importance of strategic planning in education and career choices.
