𝗠𝗶𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝘆 𝗥𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 👩💼🧑💼 As a region under the Townsville North Queensland Designated Area Migration Agreement (TNQ DAMA), we recently attended in-person forums with representatives from Australian Department of Home Affairs on issues surrounding regional migration. Following a recent member survey which outlined the critical need for migration to support regional employment, we continue to advocate against proposed changes to Australia's migration policy which could see halving of skilled migration into country, potential changes to Townsville’s regional status for working holiday makers, and a reduced cap on international students. If implemented these migration policy changes would see workforce shortages exacerbated in key industries such as agriculture and tourism and could be detrimental to the regions ability to deliver on nation building infrastructure and critical regional projects.
