Today, Liana Allan was in attendance at the Department of Home Affairs Industry Summit on behalf of Migration Alliance.  Our esteemed colleagues Peter Vymys and Bronwyn Markey from the MIA, and David Prince from the NSW Law Society were also in attendance.

The following was presented today.

Overview

On 2 September 2022, the Minister for Home Affairs, the Hon. Clare O’Neil MP, announced a comprehensive review of Australia’s migration system to ensure it better meets existing challenges and sets a clear direction for the coming decades.

The Minister has appointed three eminent persons to guide a review of Australia’s migration system. This review will inform a Strategy: A Migration System for Australia’s Future (the Strategy).

• Dr Martin Parkinson AC PSM

• Dr Joanna Howe

• Mr John Azarias

The Strategy will ensure the migration system serves Australia’s national interests and complements the skills and capabilities of Australian workers.

It will establish the core principles on which Australia’s migration system will rest, and guide future reform. The strategy will focus on enhancing Australia’s productivity.

The eminent persons are scheduled to report to Government in early 2023.

The review is now accepting written submissions (see below). Submission will close on 15 December 2022.
