A new report from the Centre for Population is predicting a full recovery in migration numbers this year of around 235,000 people per year on average.


Key Points
  • The government is expecting a return to pre-pandemic migration levels after COVID travel restrictions saw overseas migration plunge to record lows in 2020-21.
  • While there are signs of recovery, the pandemic is still expected to cost Australia 473,000 migrants by 2025-26.
  • The report data also shows that Australia is getting older and that the median age will grow from 38.4 years to over 40 within a decade.
