“Until otherwise advised, the existing 2019-20 Migration Program settings will continue to remain in place. This means the 2020-21 planning ceiling will be retained at 160,000 places, the level set for the 2019-20 Migration Program.”
The Department of Home Affairs has recently released a 6 page Q&A document in relation to the Australian Migration Program Planning and Delivery.
The document covers key information regarding the impact of COVID 19 on the delivery of the Migration Program and Net Overseas Migration. Information in relation to SkillSelect Invitation rounds and updates on the State and Territory nomination program for 2020-21 are also included in the document.
The Department advises that the Migration program will be a key component of Australia’s economic recovery, ensuring continued support to public health measures and critical industries.
Until further notice, the existing 2019-20 Migration Program settings will continue to remain in place which means a 2020-21 planning ceiling of 160,000 places.

You should reconsider your need to apply for an Australian visa at this time and check this page regularly for updates on travel restrictions and visa processing.
The Department is prioritising processing visa applications for those travellers in the exempt categories to support urgent travel.
We encourage applicants to apply online wherever possible, as these applications will be processed faster than those lodged on paper. You will not be able to apply for an ETA online while the travel restrictions are in place.
Some services relating to the visa application process may be impacted by COVID-19 and a range of services we rely on are increasingly unavailable.
This includes overseas panel doctors (see below), English language testing facilities, biometric collection and paper application lodgement centres.
While these services are unavailable, many applicants cannot meet visa requirements. Applicants will be given additional time to complete checks and provide the requested information.
Clients should be aware of disruptions to visa medical services, due to COVID-19. My Health Declarations is temporarily suspended. The Health Requirement including the health examinations for your intended visa will be determined once your visa application has been lodged.
Our visa processing officers are aware of the disruptions. We will take the extended timeframes into account when considering your visa application.
You do not need to contact us if your visa medical appointment has been rescheduled.
If you have not yet lodged a visa application or have not been requested to undertake an immigration medical examination, there is no need to contact a visa medical services clinic in Australia or an overseas panel clinic at this time.
You do not need a visa if you are overseas and studying online with an Australian education provider.
Education providers can issue a new Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) and enrol students to study online.
