Potential changes have been flagged for Afghan nationals who were evacuated to Australia following the Taliban takeover.
Immigration Minister Alex Hawke has foreshadowed the possibility of an extension to thousands of visa holders in Australia who were flown to safety after the fall of the Afghan government.
Those who were evacuated to Australia were given a three-month temporary protection visa following their arrival.
While he didn't commit to the arrivals being given a permanent resettlement visa, Mr Hawke indicated changes were imminent.
"Everyone who has come through quarantine is now in the community, receiving the best possible support and services from the Australian government," Mr Hawke told reporters on Wednesday.
"We're going to make some further announcements about their visa outcomes, and we're confident those will be very successful outcomes for everyone that's come here.
"This will be a very positive program of migration for the people that we've rescued out of some very difficult situations."
There were 4100 people evacuated in August following the Taliban takeover, with two-thirds of them being women and children.
The comments come following reports an interpreter who worked alongside Australian forces in Afghanistan was executed.
The ABC reported the former Afghan army officer, who worked as an interpreter with the Australian Defence Force, was killed in recent days while he and his family were waiting for a humanitarian visas to come to Australia.
While Mr Hawke did not want to comment on the individual case, citing security concerns for the family, he said the government was committed to getting people to safety.
"Australia will continue to lean in, and we're continuing to do our best to get people out," he said.
A Senate committee was told last week more than 26,000 applications had been made to the federal government from Afghan nationals looking to flee the country.
In August, the government announced 3000 humanitarian places would be allocated to Afghan nationals, out of the 13,750 allotted in the annual program.
