“Australian businesses are calling for more immigration. The Business Council of Australia (BCA) has advocated for an increase in migration to address skills shortages and boost the economy. They propose reforms to make migration more business-friendly, suggesting that more migrants would be beneficial for filling skills gaps and enhancing the country's social and economic landscape[1][2][3]. Additionally, the BCA has emphasized the importance of well-managed migration and rejected claims that current migration numbers are part of a "big Australia" policy, highlighting that the figures reflect a rebalancing after pandemic-related border closures[2]. Overall, there is a consensus among business leaders that politicizing Australia's migration intake should be avoided to ensure a smooth and effective immigration system[4].
