There was a series break in the net overseas migration data as the ABS changed their method of categorising migrants. This occurred in September To be counted as an arrival for the population, a person must be in Australia for 12 out of the past 16 months. Likewise, to be counted as a departure from the population, a person must have been out of Australia for 12 out of the past 16 months. This means tourists who are in Australia for two weeks are not included in population statistics.
Technical info. Net overseas migration: arrivals and departures Migration to Australia is dynamic. Technical Data Population data is preliminary for about three years. This means revisions are likely to occur to recent data. This occurred in September and resulted in an increase in migration. To be counted as an arrival, a person must be in Australia for 12 out of the past 16 months.
Likewise, to be counted as a departure, a person must have been out of Australia for 12 out of the past 16 months. Where do people come from? Technical Data Statistics for the year to 30 June are preliminary and for the year to 30 June have had standard revisions.
State population growth In addition to informing us of the ebb and flow of people to and from Australia, population statistics also tell a story about the changing populations of each state. Part Two. Visa trends The following statistics in Part Two: Visas are sourced from the Department of Home Affairs administrative visa data, and count visas granted.
There are two broad types of visa: permanent and temporary. Number of permanent visas granted by skill and family stream Collectively, Australian Governments steadily increased the number of permanent visas available from the mids. Technical Data The Howard Government changed the composition of permanent visas by broadly granting two skilled visas for each family visa. This ratio has been maintained regardless of the total number of visas granted each year. There is no official figure for the number of people who live in Australia on a permanent visa.
About half of all permanent visas are granted to people who are already in Australia. Population of temporary visa holders in Australia The number of people in Australia who hold a temporary visa increased from just under one million people in June , to over two million people by June Technical Data Every person who holds a temporary visa and is in Australia is included in this data source.
Critically, not all of these people are included in the official population statistics as some will not meet the residency periods required to be a new addition to the population. This means caution should be used when assessing population trends, and conflating this visa data with population data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Student visas International student visas have been the major reason why Australia has seen a large increase in temporary visa holders. Technical Data This chart shows primary visas, meaning the person who is attending the course and not any of their family members who may also be in Australia.
The chart shows that student visas grew through the lates, and then slowed. This was the result of both economic conditions, and visa policy changes by the Rudd Government. Technical Data Australia has 43 bilateral agreements either in place or being negotiated, which are the foundation of the working holiday category. People must be under 30 this is being increased to 35 and the visa is valid for 12 months, with work rights attached. In July , a third year visa was introduced.
This will begin to appear from the March quarter of the statistics. Temporary skilled visas Temporary Work skilled visas are employer-sponsored visas, which last up to two or four years. Technical Data The chart refers to primary temporary work skilled visas only and not the spouses or children of people who are granted the primary visa. This visa has undergone significant policy and regulatory changes over time, making it difficult to assess with confidence the relationship between the labour market, visa trends, and government policy decisions.
This visa has a much higher share of people who transition to permanent residency visas than any other temporary visa. Temporary graduate visas Temporary graduate visas allow international students who studied eligible courses to gain a two, three, or four year working visa.
Technical Data The figures in the chart refer to all temporary graduate visas granted, including the spouses and children of the person who is granted the primary visa.
