POPULATION

population growth strategically, so Australia gets the skills it needs and people to live in regions that need more people; STRENGTHEN population planning co-ordination between all levels of government; SET the permanent migration intake to maintain Australia’s long-term population growth rate, with twothirds of the program filled by skilled migrants; and MAKE the Global Talent Scheme pilot a permanent program. The scheme is for filling highly skilled and specialised positions that can’t be filled by Australian workers or through other standard visa programs.
