00:00Visa delays triple for skilled migrants.

00:05A silent storm is brewing within Australia's immigration system, and it's hitting skilled

00:10migrants the hardest.

00:12Visa delays have tripled, and insiders are sounding alarms.

00:17Could this be the breaking point of the country's migration strategy?

00:22Read the full breakdown on our website.

00:24Link in the description below.

00:43This video highlights the blowout in skilled visa processing times, the growing backlog

00:48of onshore applicants, contradictions between government policy and Australia's overall

00:53migration strategy, and the increasing risk of worker exploitation.

00:59So watch till the end to understand how these issues are affecting migrants, employers, and

01:04the integrity of the visa system.

01:13Let's begin with blowout in skilled visa processing times.

01:18The skills and demand visa, subclass 482, once processed in just 16 days, now averages

01:25a staggering 48 days.

01:27A 36% spike in applications and poor planning have overwhelmed the Department of Home Affairs,

01:34with no increase in resources to match.

01:37Next, we explore the mounting backlog of onshore applicants.

01:44Onshore applications in the bridging visa backlog jumped from just over 3,000 in late 2023 to

01:51more than 24,000 by the end of 2024.

01:55The cause?

01:57Relaxed eligibility rules, shorter work experience requirements, and over 200,000 temporary graduates

02:04desperate to stay.

02:08Moving on to contradictions in government policy and migration strategy.

02:14Despite a national push to reduce reliance on temporary migrants, the number of skilled temporary

02:19entrants has more than doubled, from 90,737 in 2021 to over 204,000 by March 2025.

02:30The pressure now shifts to the already strained permanent migration stream.

02:36Then, we examine the growing risk of worker exploitation.

02:42With numbers rising rapidly, experts warn of exploitation risks.

02:46The government's new safeguards for migrant workers will now face their toughest test yet.

02:53Finally, we wrap up with conclusion.

02:58Australia's skilled migration system is at a crossroads.

03:02Tripled delays, a swelling backlog, and policy contradictions paint a concerning picture.

03:08Can Canberra regain control, or is the system already overwhelmed?
