NSW has released its first State Migration Plan for 2024-28, which sets out the state's strategic priorities for migration. The plan recognises that NSW receives the largest share of Australia's overseas migrants and aims to support their successful settlement while addressing critical skills shortages in the state. The plan focuses on migration's role in meeting skills needs, contributing to economic growth, and building a resilient and highly skilled workforce. NSW is working with the Australian Government to deliver shared migration priorities, with a focus on areas like the care economy. According to the NSW Government website, the plan reflects NSW's commitment to remaining a leading destination for global talent.
