Temporary work visa holders and student visa holders currently in Australia will have their visas extended, allowing them to stay in Australia for five years.
They will have the opportunity to apply for permanent residency after that period.
It is understood the changes will affect about 10,500 students, and 1,500 people on other relevant visas, most of whom are already in Australia.
