The total numbers of Visas in the planning numbers is the same as previous years, at 160,000, but with a change back to similar stream numbers as before the COVID-19 changes.

The major difference is the previously stated reallocation of grants between the Skill and Family visa streams.

The total for Skilled visas will be 109,900, an increase of 30,300 from the 79,600 last year.

The total for Family visas will be 50,000, a reduction of 27,300, from the 77,300 last year.

This change reallocates the Skill and Family visa stream numbers back to near the pre-Covid allocation numbers.

Partner Visa allocations in particular were:

  • 2019-20 was 39,799 places planned.
  • 2020-21 was 72,300 places planned.
  • 2021-22 was 72,300 places planned.
  • 2022-23 has 40,500 estimated places planned. This is back down to pre-Covid levels, as mentioned in 2020-21, with these changes being matched with increases in the skilled visa streams.
