Permanent Migration Program Set For 2025-2026

Department of Home Affairs

The Albanese Labor Government will maintain the 2025-26 Permanent Migration Program at the same level and settings as the 2024-2025 Program, 185,000.

It follows consultation with the states and territories, which recommended maintaining the size and composition of the Program, with a focus on skilled migration.

The Department of Home Affairs has been processing visas based on last year's level, so there has been no disruption to the delivery of the Program.
