Govt announces an increase to the permanent skilled migration rate this financial year

Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil has announced – in response to Australia’s skills crisis – that the government will increase the permanent skilled migration rate to 195,000 this financial year.

“What it means is thousands more workers, thousands more nurses coming into the country, thousands more engineers so desperately needed coming into the country in this financial year,” Ms O’Neil said at the Jobs and Skills Summit on Friday.
