There are a variety of costs associated with migration to Australia. Often it is necessary to migrate to Australia with viable employment or an existing business available to support your lifestyle and your family. In general, the policy of the Australian Government has only been to limit migration to skilled or business migration in number. Australia only accepts a limited number of applications for immigration in each category each year.
