Australia's Skilled Migration Programme is designed to meet country's economic and social needs. So the total programme open places are broken down into planning levels for each stream of the programme and visa category. There will be up to 190000 permanent migration places are available in 2015-16, among which 128,550 places under Skilled Migration stream, 57,400 places are in the Family stream and 565 places are in the Special Eligibility stream.
Moreover, at least 3,485 Child places will be available outside the managed Migration Programme. From 2015-16 Child visas (excluding Orphan Relative visas) will no longer be counted under the managed Migration Programme. Additional Child visa places will be available over the next four years as it transitions to a fully demand driven programme by 2019-20. Removing Child visas from the managed Migration Programme will ensure planning levels do not act as a barrier or delay to inter-country adoption (or uniting other children with their Australian families). Orphan relative visas will form part of the Other Family category within the managed Migration Programme.
