Delay in release of Overseas Arrivals and Departures Statistics

The ABS releases of Overseas Arrivals and Departures, Australia (Catalogue Number 3401.0) for October and November 2014 will be delayed. The ABS will advise new release dates as soon as possible.

The delay is due to passenger card processing issues as announced by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP).

The ABS and DIBP have been working closely together to manage the issues and to minimise delays to the preparation of these statistics.

Media notes:
  • When reporting ABS data you must attribute the Australian Bureau of Statistics (or the ABS) as the source.
  • Media requests and interviews - contact the ABS Communications Section on 1300 175 070.
