Migration Programs
The Australian Migration Program is open to everyone who qualifies to migrate to this country. Whilst the Migration Program is only for permanent visas, many temporary visas (such as skilled work or student) can lead to permanent visas. Migrants to Australia are selected for their English language and trade skills, age, work experience, and the presence of family or business contacts in Australia.Migrants are not assessed based on race, gender or culture.
Screening for entry on a permanent visa is more thorough than screening for entry for a temporary visa. This applies particularly to the health checks, police clearance and your ability to earn a living, unless you are sponsored on a Family Program Visa.All permanent visas include the right to live, travel, and work in Australia.
