Dataset extent

Description

This dataset presents the number of permanent settlers in Australia by migrations streams; humanitarian, family and skilled. The data covers migrating settlers arriving between 01/01/2016 and 31/12/2016. The data has been aggregated following the 2011 Local Government Areas (LGA) with available data.

The data in your reports are sourced from the Settlement Database (SDB). Settlement Date uses a combination of either arrival date or grant date depending on where the settler was when their current SDB visa was granted. If a settler was offshore when their current SDB visa was granted then arrival date is used. If a settler was onshore when their current SDB visa was granted then visa grant date is used. SDB data is compiled from a number of sources including Department of Home Affairs, other Commonwealth agencies and service providers.

For more information please visit the Australian Government Data Portal.

Please note:

  • AURIN has spatially enabled the original data.

  • Where the recorded number of settlers is less than 5, the data has been set to null for confidentiality.

  • Settlers which do not have a recorded LGA have been removed from the data.
