Australia's migration system will be overhauled after a review found it did not meet the nation's needs. The review panel has handed 38 policy reform considerations to the government which has informed the draft outline for the new migration system.


A review of Australia's migration system found that it was outdated and created an easily exploitable environment.
The review panel submitted 38 policy reform considerations to the government.

One of the biggest changes will be to raise the minimum amount of money an employer must offer to sponsor a migrant from July 1.
