Australia migration update 2025

📌 Migration Program 2025–26 – What’s New?

  • The Australian Government has set the permanent Migration Program ceiling at 190,000 places.
  • Focus areas remain:
    • Skilled Migration – filling shortages in IT, healthcare, engineering, teaching.
    • Family Stream – supporting partner, child, and parent visa pathways.

👉 Tip from Auscan: Skilled professionals with Australian study + work experience will have a stronger chance at state nomination.

🎓 Australian Student Visa Updates 2025

  • Stronger checks on financial capacity and Genuine Student (GS) requirement are now in place.
  • Students from India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Bangladesh must ensure complete documentation to prove study intent.
  • OSHC (Overseas Student Health Cover) remains compulsory unless your country has a reciprocal healthcare agreement.

👉 Auscan Advice: Start preparing your financial statements early to avoid last-minute rejections.
