The Migration Strategy reflects the findings of the Migration Review Taskforce and has five key objectives:
1 Raising living standards for Australians by boosting productivity, meeting skills shortages, and supporting exports.
2 Ensuring a “fair go” in the workplace by complementing the jobs, wages and conditions of domestic workers, and preventing migrant worker exploitation.
3 Building stronger Australian communities by better planning for sustainable migration and giving migrants the opportunity to invest in their lives in Australia through permanent residence and citizenship.
4 Strengthening international relationships by building stronger economic and social connections with Australia’s regional neighbours and international partners.
5 Making the system work by being fast, efficient, and fair for migrants and employers.
