Every year, we set a migration programme to best support Australia’s economic and social goals. This year’s programme looks like this:

To help set 2015-16’s programme, we have prepared a discussion paper, which is now online at www.immi.gov.au/pub-res/Pages/discussion-papers/overview.aspx?heading=the-2015-16-migration-programme. This discussion paper provides a broad starting point for thinking about the best settings for migration levels next year.

At the end of the discussion paper, you will find a short survey. This is your chance to tell us what you think is the optimal size and composition of the permanent migration programme. Your responses will be confidential.

So have your say – read the discussion paper, take the survey and let your government know your thoughts before Friday, 5 December 2014.
