Summary
Australia plans to tighten immigration rules to reduce pressure on housing and lower net overseas migration. Foreign students will generally be barred from bringing family members, with exceptions for some PhD students and students from ASEAN and Pacific countries. International students will also be allowed to extend visas only when progressing to higher-level courses.

The government will introduce a ballot system to limit extensions of working holiday visas. With immigration becoming an increasingly prominent political issue, the government aims to reduce net overseas migration from about 300,000 to 225,000 by 2028.
