Australia stands at a turning point in its national history.

Terra Australis supports responsible immigration that strengthens Australia through integration, employment, social cohesion, and national stability while protecting opportunities, infrastructure, and living standards.

Terra Australis recognises that Australia will continue to require a measured and carefully managed level of immigration to support long-term economic stability, essential industries, and population sustainability.

However, immigration policy must be guided by the national interest and implemented responsibly. Terra Australis therefore seeks to develop and apply practical guidelines that promote healthy, sustainable migration while safeguarding the living standards of existing Australians.

This approach priorities the protection of core social and economic foundations, including secure employment opportunities, fair and competitive wages, access to housing and essential services, and the maintenance of safe, cohesive communities. Immigration settings must complement, not undermine, workforce development, infrastructure capacity, and social cohesion.

Through balanced planning and strong regulatory oversight, Terra Australis aims to ensure that immigration contributes positively to Australia’s prosperity while preserving opportunity, stability, and quality of life for current and future generations.

Terra Australis submits the following outline as the foundation of its immigration policy. This framework is designed to support responsible migration that strengthens Australia’s economy, social cohesion, and national stability, while ensuring fairness, safety, and opportunity for existing citizens.

Terra Australis supports freedom of belief while protecting Australians from religious coercion, intimidation, and harassment through clear standards that uphold respect, personal autonomy, and social cohesion.

Terra Australis recognises that freedom of religion and belief is a fundamental human right and an important part of Australia’s social fabric. Every individual has the right to hold, practice, change, or reject religious beliefs without fear of discrimination, coercion, intimidation, or exclusion.

At the same time, freedom of religion must exist alongside the rights, dignity, and safety of others. Religious belief does not grant the right to pressure, intimidate, manipulate, or harass individuals who do not share the same views. Terra Australis therefore supports a balanced framework that protects genuine religious freedom while preventing coercive or socially harmful conduct.

Terra Australis defines religious harassment as any persistent, unwanted, coercive, or intimidating conduct intended to pressure individuals into religious participation, religious conformity, or acceptance of religious beliefs against their will. This includes repeated proselytizing after refusal, guilt-based pressure, intimidation, targeted religious outreach, or behavior that creates discomfort, hostility, fear, or exclusion within workplaces, schools, public institutions, community organizations, or public spaces.

Religious harassment is regarded as comparable in seriousness to other forms of harassment, including workplace harassment and sexual harassment. All Australians deserve to live, work, study, and participate in society free from coercive religious pressure.

Terra Australis recognizes that strong families are the foundation of a strong nation. Australia’s future depends on the ability of families to raise children in stable, healthy, secure, and supportive environments. Rising living costs, housing pressures, food prices, medical expenses, education costs, and childcare demands have made it harder for many Australians to start or grow a family.

Terra Australis will support Australian mothers, families, and primary caregivers through the creation of the Australian Family Growth Support Scheme, a national child-support assistance program designed to encourage family formation, improve child wellbeing, reduce financial pressure on parents, and support long-term population growth.

This policy will provide direct financial support from birth until the child turns 18, ensuring that families receive consistent assistance across every major stage of childhood development.
