Has it ever crossed your mind what Australia’s population is going to look like by the year 2050? It is possible that it would have a really large number of retirees that are getting older by the year unless of course, we make sure that the immigration levels are maintained, if it is not increased, so that Australia’s rate of ageing is slowed down. This, according to a recent report made by the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) of Australia.
Australia Primary and secondary education is to a high international standard, education from an Australian educational institution is therefore respected worldwide and there is a strong demand for people from overseas to send their children to Australia.

Maria Sevilla arrived in Australia with her son Tyrone in 2007 on a skilled provisional work visa. She has trained and worked as a nurse in Townsville, Queensland since then and applied to renew her visa recently. Sadly, her son was diagnosed with autism six months after they arrived in Australia, and when the government were informed of this her visa renewal application was rejected.
Immigration Minister Peter Dutton explained that programs and resources for differently-abled Australian children are already lacking and that an assessment of the Sevilla’s visa application would have to take this into account. Dutton has to ensure that we can adequately support the education and medical treatment of Australia’s own children before committing itself to Tyrone’s case.
Commencing July 2016, the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection will implement a new visa program to replace the existing 400 visa.

The Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection is busy making changes. The goal of these changes is to increase the numbers of law-abiding Australian citizenship, while reducing illegal attempts to immigrate to Australia. This move might make it more complex for those faced with plans to immigrate to Australia.
One upcoming major change is the consolidation of two departments. The Department of Immigration and Border Protection and the Australia Customs and Border Protection Service will combine beginning 1 July, 2015. The new entity will be called the Australian Border Force.
