While government policies have helped to increase the initial settlement of migrants and refugees in regional areas, helping newcomers and local receiving communities develop lasting ties remains a challenge. The paper shines a light on policy solutions to address this issue.

This paper lays out key recommendations to fix housing affordability and access to low-cost housing with a new focus on build-to-rent projects and increased access to finance for community housing providers.

In September 2022, the Federal Home Affairs Minister, Clare O'Neil, announced three eminent persons would lead a comprehensive review of Australia's migration system to ensure it better meets existing challenges and sets a clear direction for the coming decades.

The Australian Government has released for discussion this outline of their migration strategy​. The document, informed by the Migration Review and stakeholder consultation, articulates the proposed policy shifts needed to reform the nation's migration system.
