Australia opens its occupation list for skilled visas for consultation

Following the Migration Strategy reforms to Australia’s employer sponsored visa programs implemented in December 2024, further significant change is not expected during the rest of the current government’s term in office.

In this alert we also discuss the recently announced Migration Program planning levels for 2025-2026 and elements of the Migration Strategy which are underway. 

A Tax Alert prepared by EY's People Advisory Services, and attached below, provides additional details.
