The Australian Government has today appointed three eminent Australians to guide a comprehensive review of Australia’s migration system.

The review and development of a strategy will ensure the migration system serves Australia’s national interests and enhances Australia’s productivity.

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

The Department of Home Affairs is not asking family visa applicants to travel offshore at this time.

While some categories of visas require applicants to be outside of Australia at the time the visa is granted, the Department is aware that COVID-19 travel restrictions are affecting visa applicants, particularly applicants for family visas who have come to Australia. At this time we are not asking family visa applicants to travel offshore.
