NET OVERSEAS MIGRATION - NEW DATA AVAILABLE

With the introduction of improved methods for estimating Net Overseas Migration (NOM) the ABS has developed an analytical data set called the Travellers Characteristics Data Base. These improvements allow the derivation of an individual's actual travel behaviour (using final NOM data) and record certain characteristics for any traveller who has contributed to NOM. The data base provides for additional analysis of final NOM data that was not previously available. The following variables are available on request for final NOM data only:

Age (as at 30 June)
Citizenship (nationality)
Country of birth
Initial category of travel
Marital status (not available for Australian and New Zealand citizens)
Reference year (available from 2004 - final data only)
Sex
Type of traveller (NOM arrival or NOM departure - based on actual recorded duration of stay in or out of Australia)
Visa type
