"The previous administration devalued immigration, and during their tenure, the backlog of visa applications reached about 1,000,000." The Alban Government is committed to clearing the backlog and giving our Government's immigration role its just due.

It's the ideal moment for Australian visa applicants to apply for the applicable Skilled, student, visiting, etc. visas due to the rise in the allocation of Skilled visa seats (109,900 for the program year 2022–23) and the speeding up of application processing.
