Net migration level on way down: ABS May 26, 2010 - 11:49AM

The number of people migrating to Australia is expected to drop by 20 per cent by the end of the financial year as a result of government policy changes and shifts in economic conditions.
Figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics showed that net overseas migration (NOM) peaked in the 12 months to 31 March 2009 at 305,900 people.
Immigration Minister Chris Evans on Wednesday said the number of people migrating to Australia, which includes both permanent migrants and long-term temporary migrants, was on the way down.
The fall was in response to government reforms to temporary and permanent migration and economic conditions, he said.
"Based on recent visa applications and grants data, my department anticipates a fall of about 20 per cent compared to last year; a drop of at least 56,000 people," Senator Evans said in a statement.
"By the end of 2009-2010, we expect the NOM to have fallen to between 230,000 and 250,000."
Last year's peak was largely a result of rapid growth in temporary immigrants such as students who came to Australia seeking a permanent entry pathway.
Earlier this month, the government announced changes to the skilled occupation list to target occupations that could help address Australia's economic needs.
"This list is designed to target occupations of longer-term economic value and will deliver highly-skilled migrants while breaking the nexus between permanent residency and low-value education courses," Senator Evans said.
The Rudd government was committed to ongoing reform to ensure immigration levels are guided by Australia's needs and not by the desire of prospective migrants to come to Australia, he said. |
