Australia’s migration system continues to change. With fewer spots on offer and increased competition and complexity, there is increased importance on a professionally prepared, decision-ready submission, ideally prepared by a qualified immigration lawyer.
Following the COVID-19 pandemic, more individuals have chosen to engage a qualified migration professional, such as an immigration lawyer, than ever before, recognising the intensified competition for places and the need for expert guidance at every step.
2025 Migration Program Levels
Spots are limited and numbers are decreasing.
The Australian Government has set the permanent Migration Program planning level at 185,000 places, divided across the following key streams:
The Skilled stream includes:
1. Skilled Independent visas
2. Employer Sponsored visas
3. State and Territory Nominated visas
The skilled stream is designed to support Australia’s long-term economic growth and address persistent labour shortages.
This stream supports family reunification for Australian citizens and permanent residents.
Reserved for a small number of specific cases, including returning permanent residents.
Our principal lawyer, Perry Q. Wood, is one of Australia’s best immigration lawyers. As he keeps abreast of all changes, he has been a commentator in major publications including The Age, The Sydney Morning Herald, Australian Financial Review, the South China Morning Post and Mammamia.
“The Australian Government has not formally announced the permanent Migration Program planning level for the years ahead, but there are expected to be fewer opportunities available, as Australia continues to reduce its migration numbers from record highs post pandemic” says Mr Wood.
Public consultations on Australia’s Migration Program are expected to commence during 2025. As a firm, Australian Migration Lawyers expects that such consultation will include contributions from us: reflecting our position as Australia’s best immigration lawyers.
For the first time, in a significant policy shift, the Australian Government is expected to move away from annual planning levels and adopt multi-year migration planning. This change will bring longer-term visibility but also underscores the importance of staying informed and well-advised in a complex and ever-changing environment.
Navigating a competitive migration system without expert help could cost you your chance, don’t risk it!

A lawyer must complete an accredited three-year law degree (or equivalent) and be entered into the role of a practitioner of a Supreme Court in Australia. Registration as a migration agent involves a shorter course followed by an examination.
It is important that you check that a migration agent is registered with the Office of Migration Agent’s Registration Authority. Unregistered migration agents should be reported through Border Watch online.
We will seek to understand your situation and wider circumstances. From this, we will be able to provide advice concerning your visa eligibility. We do not offer free consultations in relation to skilled visas.
We have access to an office network in each Australian state and territory. We can also meet with you virtually via Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Google Meet—whichever you prefer. We also offer telephone consultations upon request.
It will depend upon which visa you are applying for. We offer a set-price guarantee, so there are no hidden costs.
