Australian Government: New rules focus on relaxation for farmers and sporting clubs

In Another notification, the Australian Government has relaxed the rules for farmers and sporting clubs. The relaxation will help sponsor visa holders from overseas.

Further, the Productivity Commission in its 2016 report, stated that 50% of Australia’s permanent skill intake are secondary applicants, many of whom have limited skills.

Overall, Secondary applicants in the permanent skill stream immigration play a major in the contribution to the Australian economy, but with regulation, it failed to give skills point to partners or de facto partner.  Therefore, hindering the immigration prospect of applicants.

However, New regulation will focus on using the effectiveness of the skilled spouse or de-facto partner in the growth of the Australian economy.

Notably, benefitting both singles and applicants with a skilled spouse.
