The Australian government says it will halve the migration intake within two years in a bid to fix the country's broken immigration system.
It aims to slash the annual intake to 250,000 - roughly in line with pre-pandemic levels - by June 2025.
Visa rules for international students and low-skilled workers will also be tightened under the new plan.
Migration has climbed to record levels in Australia, adding pressure to housing and infrastructure woes.
However there remains a shortage of skilled workers, and the country struggles to attract them.
