Despite a cut in the permanent migration intake from 190,000 to 162,417 in the last programme year, Australia's population has now reached 25 million.
Overseas migration is driving Australia's population growth which remains high in comparison with other advanced economies and has been positive for the economy, helping to arrest the rate of an ageing population. Australia has one of the youngest populations among advanced economies which has changed Australia's demographic profile in a positive way. This inflow of younger people through immigration has significantly reduced the rate of population ageing in Australia and during the last 5 years over 80% of net overseas migration has been accounted for by people under the age of 35.
Of the 111,000 new skilled migrants who arrived in Australia last year, a total of 87% settled in Australia's two biggest cities of Sydney and Melbourne prompting a call for a greater geographical spread of migration to regional areas in Australia where there was demand for particular skills.

Dear Grahame and Team I just wanted to thank you all for your hard work and commitment over the past few months in obtaining my permanent residence visa for Australia. Before choosing Concept Australia, I researched other visa companies offering their services, however, none were as honest and as knowledgeable as you and your team were.Your experience with Australian visas, and from having lived in Australia set you aside from anyone else. I found your approach very professional from the offset, which I greatly thank you for. Kind regards Edward Hodge.
Thank you for all the work you have done to help us get our Australian visas. We think all the work you do is fantastic as we would never have been able to do it without you.
