Even without another policy intervention, WHM NOM should continue falling as the large post border reopening cohorts leave.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"font-family: 'Playfair Display', Georgia, serif; color: #0f2540; font-size: 24px; margin-top: 32px;\">What is the government likely to do next<\/h2>\n\n<p style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; color: #0f2540;\">The data suggest four possibilities.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; color: #0f2540;\"><strong>Wait for departures to reduce NOM naturally.<\/strong> This is the rational option. The rolling annual figure was already approximately 301,000 by December 2025, and student and WHM departures are rising rapidly. The pipeline should keep bringing NOM down without another major restriction.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; color: #0f2540;\"><strong>Further restrict international students.<\/strong> This remains politically easy, but the evidence for targeting VET is weak: VET NOM is already negative. If the government still wants a large numerical reduction from students, it would have to come primarily from higher education, which still contributed approximately 97,630. This creates a conflict with the government&#8217;s apparent preference for public universities.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; color: #0f2540;\"><strong>Tighten Working Holiday settings.<\/strong> WHM still contributed approximately 53,390. Possible measures include reducing repeat year eligibility, narrowing specified work pathways, limiting country caps, making third year access harder, and increasing enforcement around genuine work and employer compliance. But departures have already doubled, so the government may announce a tightening whose numerical effect was already occurring.<\/p>\n\n<p style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.6; color: #0f2540;\"><strong>Target family migration, appeals or long onshore transitions.<\/strong> Permanent visa NOM remained stable at about 69,580 and is constrained by the migration program. Cutting partner or family pathways would be politically and legally more difficult and would not deliver an immediate reduction comparable with student restrictions.<\/p>\n\n<h2 style=\"font-family: 'Playfair Display', Georgia, serif; color: #0f2540; font-size: 24px; margin-top: 32px;\">My assessment<\/h2>\n\n<figure style=\"margin: 24px 0;\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"chart4-total-nom-trend.png\" alt=\"Bar chart showing total Net Overseas Migration falling from 429,160 in 2023-24 to 305,570 in 2024-25 to 300,960 in the year to December 2025\" style=\"width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; border: 1px solid #c8973a;\" \/>\n<figcaption style=\"font-family: 'DM Sans', Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: #0f2540; text-align: center; margin-top: 8px;\">Total NOM trend, 2023-24 to the year ending December 2025.

Because restricting universities conflicts with its broader policy direction, WHM may become the more politically convenient next target. This will further weaken skill shortages, particularly for small business and farming.<\/p>\n\n<p> #NOM #AustralianMigration #StudentVisa #WorkingHoliday #MigrationPolicy #VET #educli <\/p>\n\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June short term visitor arrivals were 14.1 per cent below June 2025, and the ABS notes that April, May and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":17858,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[131,128],"tags":[188,189,185,183,186,184,187],"class_list":["post-18102","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international-education","category-migration-agents","tag-abs-data","tag-migration-policy","tag-net-overseas-migration","tag-nom","tag-student-visas","tag-vet","tag-working-holiday"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>ABS and NOM numbers update June 2026 - Educli Academy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"June 2026 NOM data shows students absorbed most of the cut.
