The push to lure skilled workers to Australia and the increase in foreign students have raised migration into the country to a record high.
Australian Bureau of Statistics figures reveal that net overseas migration to Australia boosted the population by almost 200,000 in the year to March, outstripping births in contributing to population growth.
And with the Federal Government adding to the migration intake in this year's budget, demographers predict the numbers will swell.
