Australia’s post-pandemic surge in net overseas migration temporary, federal budget predicts
Story by Anne Davies • 7h ago - 10-5-2023
Australia’s surge in net overseas migration, forecast to be 400,000 in 2022–23, is a catchup from the pandemic and is expected to be temporary, the budget papers reveal.
The forecast for 2024–25 is 260,000, broadly in line with the long-term historical average of 235,000.
The budget papers say: “The pandemic resulted in the first net outflow of overseas migration from Australia since World War II. The rebound in temporary migration following the reopening of Australia’s international borders was initially slow but has recently started to recover at a faster rate.
“This has resulted in an upgrade in the forecast level of population, even though the total number of temporary migrants arriving in Australia is not expected to make up for the loss in migration during the pandemic for some time.
Population growth is now expected to be 2% in 2022–23 and 1.7% in 2023–24, up from the forecast of 1.4% for both years in the October budget.
Most of the increase is attributed to the return of overseas students, skilled temporary visa holders.
As well as new students starting their courses, those who were in the second and third years of their study and who were studying online have arrived, boosting the numbers, Treasury says.
The strong economy and changes to temporary visa eligibility have also added to arrivals.
The level of departures – the other side of net migration numbers – will take more time to return to normal because of the low number of arrivals during the pandemic, Treasury says.
The elevated forecast for net overseas migration in 2023–24 of 315,000 is largely driven by fewer temporary migrants departing Australia than usual, rather than a greater number of people arriving, it says.
So what does this mean for Australia’s population forecasts?

Even with this stronger near-term outlook, total net overseas migration is not expected to catch up to the level forecast before the pandemic until 2029–30.
The country’s population is expected to be 750,000 people (2.5%) smaller in June 2031 compared with pre-pandemic forecasts. The decline in the birthrate is accounted for in this figure.
The budget also included further details of the streamlined skilled migration program, which was announced by the home affairs minister, Clare O’Neil, in April.
The government will provide an extra two years of post-study work rights for temporary graduate visa holders with selected degrees, which will improve the pipeline of skilled labour in key sectors, the budget papers say.
As previously announced, the temporary skilled migration income threshold will increase from $53,000 to $70,000 from 1 July 2023 to ensure settings are better targeted towards truly skilled workers.
The budget also allocates $50m over four years from 2023–24 for additional enforcement and compliance activities to protect migrant workers, after unions raised concerns about exploitation.
A range of visa fees will increase above the usual CPI increase, yielding $655m over five years in extra revenue.
Most will increase by 6%, but business, innovation and investment visas will increase by an additional 40% and select visitor and temporary visas will increase by an additional 15 percentage points from 1 July 2023.

Migration system overhaul to entice long-term residents
Story by Farid Farid • 3h ago - 27-4-2023
Australia is overhauling its migration system relying on temporary workers by going back to its roots to encourage permanent residency.
About two million people in Australia are on temporary visas and about 10 per cent of them a year become permanent migrants.
Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil commissioned a review of the country's migration system last year and will flesh out the government's new policy to fill worker shortages exacerbated by the pandemic when she addresses the National Press Club on Thursday.
"Our migration system is broken. It's not delivering for Australians. It's not delivering for our businesses and it's not delivering for migrants themselves," she told ABC's 7.30 Report on Wednesday night.
"It is a horrendously complex system that makes it really hard to bring high-skilled workers into the country who will lift productivity."
She said for employers in tech-based industries, for example, the skills list was "archaic" and "out of date".
Ms O'Neil said wage exploitation of temporary migrant workers was also rife and needed to be curbed.
She warned Australia risked falling behind other developed immigrant countries such as Canada by becoming a nation of "permanently temporary" residents.
Some employer groups have called for looser restrictions on skilled migration caps and target industries, while others want a rethink of English language requirements and rules regarding post-study employment.
Clare O'Neil will outline changes to the migration system in her National Press Club address.

Australia’s no longer a small player in global politics, so we must be ready for hard choices
Story by George Brandis • 3h ago - 17-4-2023
Next month, Anthony Albanese welcomes the President of the United States Joe Biden, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japanese PM Fumio Kishida for the first leaders-level meeting of the Quad hosted by Australia.
He will also attend the G7 meeting in Hiroshima to which Australia has been invited – along with fellow ad hoc members India and South Korea. Albanese has also been invited to the critical NATO summit on Ukraine in July; it would be a serious mistake not to attend.
Those international engagements, together with last month’s announcement on the AUKUS acquisition program and the coming release of the Defence Strategic Review, all focus attention on the challenging strategic position which Australia now faces as the democracies come to terms with the belligerence of the world’s two great authoritarian states, Russia and China.
Some Western politicians and commentators refer to the current strategic situation as a “new Cold War”. Yet the comparison is too glib, and in many important ways inaccurate.
The Soviet Union, unlike contemporary China, was not an economic superpower. After the Sino-Soviet split of 1960, the two communist powers were mutually hostile. The heart of Cold War competition was Europe, fractured by what Churchill famously called the Iron Curtain. The conflict was cast in explicitly ideological rather than territorial terms – as a struggle between systems and ideas.
The better 20th-century comparison (although there are important differences) is with the 1930s, when authoritarian states, often asserting baseless historical claims, acted in defiance of the emergent system of collective security represented by the League of Nations: Japan in Manchuria, Italy in Abyssinia, Germany across Europe.
The war that followed was the only time that Australia has felt existentially threatened. While we now know from archival research that Japanese policy was not to invade Australia but to isolate it, that was not how it seemed at the time – particularly to those who lived in northern Australia.
There are few still alive who remember the Pacific War; every generation since, from the Baby Boomers onward, has grown up in a sense of relative security. Even Vietnam, the most serious war in our region which many Australians remember, was not accompanied by widespread fear of communist invasion if South Vietnam fell.
Australians’ sense of security has been buttressed, in particular, by two assumptions. First is our belief that we live in a peaceful corner of the world, sequestered from great power conflict historically centred on the Euro-Atlantic. Memories of the Pacific War passed into history with earlier generations. Vietnam divided us but didn’t threaten us. The south-west Pacific, as its name suggests, was a peaceful ocean, about as far away from the world’s trouble spots as it is possible to get.
Allied to our sense that we live in a peaceful part of the world, deep in the national psyche has been the belief that we are a small nation; if not irrelevant to global affairs, then at least of marginal significance to them: a kind of subtropical Scandinavia.
