On 12\/05\/2026, the Australian Government announced the Planning Levels for the 2026\u201327 financial year. The number of places will remain unchanged at 185,000, similar to the previous year, with an approximate split of 70% Skilled and 30% Family. Based on the Government\u2019s Planning Levels update, we can highlight a few key points:<\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

2. <\/span>Regional categories are no longer strongly prioritised<\/h2>\n
Regional visa places drop sharply from around 33,000 to 14,110. This is a significant change compared to the trend in recent years, when Australia consistently encouraged skilled workers and international students to move to regional areas.<\/div>\n

In contrast, the Employer-sponsored category increases by approximately 14,000 places. This suggests the Government is focusing on:<\/div>\n

    Overall, it\u2019s clear that Australia is becoming more stringent in how it controls the quality of people coming to the country\u2014using visa categories designed for permanent settlement.<\/div>\n
    To improve your settlement prospects, you should:<\/div>\n
      \n
    • Consider a short-term visa strategy<\/li>\n
    • Find a job and build experience in Australia<\/li>\n
