The Albanese Government will almost double the number of parent visas and will significantly increase the number of skilled visas available as part of the federal budget.

It has also restored some migration program funding after it was cut by the previous Morrison Government.

An extra $576 million over four years will be provided to the Department of Home Affairs towards visa processing, to cover a shortfall in funding for the maintenance of offshore processing centres and to support refugees.

But this is still around $300 million less than the $875 million that was taken out in March.
