Australia's new migration strategy unlikely to have adverse impact on flow of Indians

Australia is implementing migration system reforms with greater scrutiny of applicants' antecedents. The new migration strategy includes a policy roadmap and over 25 commitments for future reform. It aims to cut annual immigration intake to 250,000. Indian students and professionals will not be adversely affected as they are protected under the Economic Cooperation and Trade Agreement. Indian graduates can stay in Australia temporarily after completing their studies. The Australian government will continue to welcome high-quality students and expects Indian student numbers to grow.
