Dear Guest,

Migration to Australia is reaching exciting levels: government statistics reveal that migration boosted Australia's population by over 200,000 in the year to March. That figure is higher than actual births over the same period.

Clearly, Australia's immigration program continues to flourish. Despite the financial industry concerns in some of the world's largest markets, Australia's economy is standing up well to external pressures.
