Immigration Policy

Immigration policy is an essential part of the Federal Government’s strategy to increase the supply side of the economy and boost ‘sustainable rates of economic growth’. By adding to the pool of available labour, businesses will be able to expand their levels of production, increase the knowledge base and help them to benefit from economies of scale by catering for a larger market. Immigration into Australia is overseen by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. Each year the Government sets immigration targets and bases entry on a number of criteria that are determined to meet Australia’s needs and interests.
