Let's start on your visa application together.
Australia’s migration landscape is in a constant state of evolution. While the government has announced its intentions for the coming year, the environment remains highly competitive and complex. This places a greater emphasis on professionally prepared, decision-ready applications.
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, a growing number of individuals have sought the support of migration professionals. With intense competition for limited places, many recognise the value of expert guidance at every stage. The team at Australian Migration Lawyers provides precisely this support.
In a recent announcement, the Minister for Home Affairs, Tony Burke, confirmed the planning level for the 2025-26 permanent Migration Program will be set at 185,000 places. This maintains the same level as the 2024-25 program, signalling a focus on stability after the post-pandemic surge.
Mr. Burke's announcement emphasised that this decision provides certainty to communities and businesses. Despite the stable number, demand for places continues to be exceptionally high, making the application process more competitive than ever. The program is structured across the following key streams:
The government has allocated the majority of places to the Skilled stream to address essential skills shortages and enhance the productive capacity of the economy. It includes pathways such as:
• Employer-Sponsored visas
• Skilled Independent visas
• State and Territory Nominated visas
A significant allocation remains for the Family stream, which is primarily for partner and parent visas, underscoring the government's commitment to family reunification.
This is a smaller stream for specific cases, including former residents returning to Australia.
Our principal lawyer, Perry Q. Wood, is one of Australia’s leading 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 Mamamia.
“The Minister's confirmation of 185,000 places for 2025-26 provides welcome predictability, but applicants must understand this does not make it easier to secure a visa,” says Mr Wood. “Demand far exceeds the number of places available. This stability in numbers, combined with the shift towards multi-year planning, means the Department will be laser-focused on application quality. Only the most well-prepared, decision-ready submissions will have a strong prospect of success.”
As the government formalises its multi-year planning framework, public consultations will continue to shape the future of the Migration Program. Australian Migration Lawyers will seek to be actively involved in these discussions, contributing our expertise to help refine a system that is fair and effective.
With a fixed number of places and a rising bar for success, having an expert from Australian Migration Lawyers on your side maximises your prospects.
We have locations across the country to help you all over Australia. See our locations below.
There are several types of visas available, depending on your circumstances.

We work with people all over Australia, offering professional migration guidance and support.
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.
Internally within our firm, we act quickly. Our policy at Australian Migration Lawyers is to always submit a thorough application, with the aim of reducing requests for further information, which are often the cause of delays. Being experienced lawyers, we will advise you of the current trends relating to the processing times of the relevant decision-making body.
This depends on the type of visa. Being experienced lawyers, we are very good at what we do. What is important is that we understand all your circumstances so that we can explain to you what your options are.
There are several pathways to permanent residency. These may or may not apply to you. Your lawyer would be pleased to discuss permanent residency with you.
