𝗔𝗥𝗧 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗖𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘𝗦 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘

The Administrative Review Tribunal (ART) has updated its latest processing-time statistics, with a significant improvement recorded for skill-linked migration reviews.

According to the latest ART figures:

Skill-linked reviews
• 50% finalised within 10 months
• 95% finalised within 2 years and 9 months

Previously, 50% of these reviews were taking approximately 1 year and 4 months.

Other movements in the latest ART data include:

• Family reviews – 50% finalised within 1 year and 8 months
• Protection reviews – 50% finalised within 2 years and 2 months
• Student visa cancellations – 50% finalised within 1 year and 1 month
• Student visa refusals – 50% finalised within 1 year and 6 months
• Partner visa reviews – 50% finalised within 3 years and 2 months

The significant reduction in the median processing time for skill-linked reviews is encouraging, although processing times can change and every ART matter is different.

These figures relate to cases recently finalised by the Tribunal and should not be interpreted as a guarantee of how long a particular review will take.

Immigration Law Matters Australia continues to monitor ART processing trends and developments affecting Australian visa applicants.

Waiting for a skilled visa decision?

The latest Department of Home Affairs processing data shows significant differences between Australia's major skilled visa subclasses and streams.

The overall median processing time for permanent skilled visas is now 11 months, while temporary skilled visas have a median processing time of 47 days.

Importantly, applications are not necessarily processed in the order they are lodged.

Under current skilled visa processing priorities, an applicant's occupation and whether they applied while in Australia or outside Australia can affect processing priority. Home Affairs specifically states that planning levels, Ministerial Directions, application completeness and the volume of applications on hand can all affect processing times.

These figures relate to recently decided applications and are a guide only. They do not guarantee when an individual application will be decided.

Pauline Hanson says she doesn’t care if migration cuts hurt Australian businesses.

I do.

Australia may need lower migration. But what happens when the cuts affect the skilled workers Australian businesses genuinely need?

In my latest opinion piece, I explain where I agree with Pauline Hanson — and where I strongly disagree.

The latest Australian Bureau of Statistics data reveals an important demographic trend. Australia’s extraordinary post-COVID migration surge has fallen substantially, but Net Overseas Migration remains the dominant driver of national population growth.

In the 12 months ending December 2025, Australia’s population increased by approximately 412,500 people.

Net Overseas Migration contributed approximately 301,000 people, while natural increase — births minus deaths — contributed approximately 111,500.

That means around 73% of Australia’s latest population growth came from overseas migration.

The figures since 2020 tell an even more remarkable story. During the COVID-19 border closures, Net Overseas Migration became negative and Australia’s population growth slowed dramatically. When the borders reopened, migration rebounded to historic levels before beginning a substantial decline.

But throughout those enormous fluctuations in migration, Australia’s natural population growth remained comparatively modest.

So what would Australia’s population growth look like without migration? And what do these figures mean for Australia’s future population, workforce and migration settings?

We examine the latest ABS statistics and the changing relationship between Net Overseas Migration and natural population growth since 2020.
