Australian Migration Policy?
Most of the world's nations are facing challenges associated with the new global regime of international migration in what has been termed the Age of Migration. Migration for better opportunity and new life. Australia has adopted well systemised migration policy since long time. The long experience as a country of migration, especially during the post-World War II era, has given Australia an almost unique capacity not only to cope with new migration pressures but also to develop policy and program approaches which maximise the benefit of those developments. Australia has developed a culture of migration in which there is broad acceptance in the community of the benefits that immigration can deliver. Australia has developed a more sophisticated understanding of the issues surrounding migration and settlement than in most other nations.
Australia is one of very few nations that has had a federal government department devoted to immigration and settlement for more than half a century. This has meant that there has been the development of a skilled and committed cadre of immigration bureaucrats over a number of generations. This substantial body of people with a level of professionalism, knowledge and experience gives Australia a huge advantage in confronting the challenges created by the new migration. The need for management of migration has become the mantra emerging from international fora, conferences, summits and meetings concerned with international migration. However, an essential element in any migration management is the availability of human resources, institutions and infrastructure to develop and operate effective management strategies. Australia is extremely well positioned in that respect.
In order to bring more econmic and viable migratnt people in Australia the Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigeneous Affairs (DIMIA) is encouraging skilled migrant people to come to Australia for the benefit of Australia and Australian communities. As the bottom level of this process, Registered Migration Agents are helping people who wants migrate to Australia uder professional Code of Conduct, and Migration Agent Registration Authority (MARA) is regulating to the Agents under Australian Migration Act and Regulation. |
