The Morrison government will spend nearly $20 million over the next four years on measures to encourage more skilled migrants to settle in the regions.
The extra spending was revealed in the Mid-Year Economic and Fiscal Outlook, released by the government on Monday.
The government will set up a Regional Migration Hub, which will undertake “outreach activities” to help regional employers access skilled migrant workers.

Some of the money will also be spent on “enhanced” visa processing for regional areas.
