Actions to Reform the Migration System
While stressing that immigration should not be misinterpreted as a lack of investment in Australians’ existing talents, the government has acknowledged the critical role that immigration plays in boosting the capabilities of the current workforce and in supporting productivity development.
The white paper gave a summary of the changes already implemented, currently implemented, and implementations set for the immigration system in the future.
Already Implemented Changes
The temporary skilled migration income threshold remains raised, first and foremost. Other initiatives to modernize the immigration system are put in place, and the permanent migration planning level also upgraded.
Second, the report refers to a plan that was made earlier this year to give all temporary skilled visa holders a path to permanent residency.

Australia Migration Strategy
The new migration strategy will likely be announced soon, and it is anticipated that it will address modifications to the skilled migration program’s plan and strengthen the standing of foreign education. The migration strategy will be greatly aided by Australia’s new temporary skilled migration system. There will be three choices for temporary skilled employees, according to the government;
- Foremost, a speedy and simple approach for highly qualified professionals
- Also, for candidates with core competencies, a common temporary skilled pathway based on recommendations from jobs and skills
- Additionally, a managed career path for experts with crucial skills, such as those in the care industry

Further Steps to Stop Labor Exploitation
The Migration Amendment Bill of 2023 aims to prevent underpayment and mistreatment of migrant workers. If accepted, it will increase penalties and impose more regulations on businesses that exploit employees with temporary visas. These and other continuing programs to stop labor exploitation also mentioned in the study.
Several high-level directions for future change also outlined in the report, albeit it remains currently not possible to find out the specifics of the reforms. They ought to receive coverage in more detail with the release of the updated migration strategy. No specific date set for now, however, it anticipates project that the updated migration strategy will release by the end of 2023.
