2. WHY AUSTRALIA
• Thriving economy: The country has a thriving economy that has shown steady growth. It is the 13th largest economy
in the world with the 10th highest per capita income. At 5% its unemployment rate is very low. The country provides
the highest minimum wages even for casual workers.
• Recognition of your qualifications: Australian companies value overseas work experience because they believe it
brings a fresh perspective to the workplace. Companies here recognize several professional qualifications. If you have
these qualifications, you have greater chances to qualify for the Skill Select program.
• Quality of life: Australia offers a better quality of life. Citizens can avail of an efficient healthcare system and a social
support system. Apart from this, the population density is very less even in the big cities. At 6.4 people per square mile, it
stands third among countries with the least density of people.
• Safe environment: The country has one of the lowest crime rates and an efficient police force. This means a safe and
secure environment where you can stay without any worries.
• Opportunities for study: In case you want to improve your educational qualifications, the country offers more than 20,00
courses of study and has over 1,200 educational institutions.
• Climate: Adaptable by Indians

3. MIGRATION PROGRAM PLANNING LEVELS
• ​​The 2022-23 Migration Program has been designed to boost Australia’s economic recovery and drive social
cohesion outcomes in the post-pandemic environment. The 2022-23 Migration Program will have the same
planning level of 160,000 places but with different quota allocation in the following composition: -
• Skill (109,900 places) – this stream is designed to improve the productive capacity of the
economy and fill skill shortages in the labour market, including those in regional Australia.
• Family (50,000 places) – this stream is predominantly made up of Partner visas, enabling
Australians to reunite with family members from overseas and provide them with pathways to
citizenship.
• Special Eligibility (100 places) – this stream covers visas for those in special
circumstances, including permanent residents returning to Australia after a period overseas.
