Nearly 74,000 family members who are in Australia on graduate visas are now living in the country, according to reporting that highlights growing migration pressure.
The accounts link this group to relatives of former international students, indicating that many people eligible under graduate pathways are now present as family members. The reports say this situation adds to pressure on the government as it continues efforts described as a migration crackdown.
Both outlets frame the development as a strain point for current policy, but they offer limited additional detail about how the figure is calculated or how it changes compared with earlier periods. As a result, the shared emphasis is on the scale of the family-member population on graduate visas and its relevance to ongoing migration management measures.
