For Australia's regional overseas migration estimates, see the ABS publication Regional population.
Most data in this release have been rounded, as a result, sums of components may not add to totals.
Quarterly net overseas migration data from September Qtr 2006 to June Qtr 2025 will be released in Tablebuilder on 18 December 2025. This product is updated quarterly. For more information, refer to TableBuilder: Net overseas migration.
The Australian Government imposed travel restrictions on those travelling to or from Australia in March 2020, which were gradually lifted from 1 November 2021. Australian borders were reopened to most travellers from 21 February 2022.
Net overseas migration is the net gain or loss of population through international migration to and from Australia.
In the year ending 30 June 2025, overseas migration contributed a net gain of 306,000 people to Australia's population. This was a decrease from the net gain of 429,000 people the previous year, and below the financial year record of 538,000 people in 2022-23.
Historically, more people migrate to Australia than migrate away each year, meaning overseas migration has been a significant source of population gain for Australia rather than loss. This trend temporarily reversed when many potential migrants didn't come to Australia in 2020 and 2021 because of border closures and other COVID-19 pandemic impacts.
Australian borders were reopened to most travellers from 21 February 2022, giving rise to a period of record net overseas migration consistent with a catchup in arrivals following almost two years of border restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Annual net overseas migration reached a peak in the year ending September 2023, with a net gain of 556,000 people to Australia's population. Following this peak, there have been 7 consecutive quarters of decreasing annual net overseas migration, with the 2024-25 financial year recording a net gain of 306,000 people to Australia’s population. This lower level is driven by a decrease in migrant arrivals, particularly temporary visa holders, and an increase in migrant departures.

This equates to an annual decrease of 14%, and is the second consecutive annual decrease in migrant arrivals since the borders reopened.
In the five years prior to the pandemic, on average 515,000 migrants arrived each year, with the majority arriving on temporary visas (307,000). There were 92,000 permanent visa arrivals per year on average. For Australian and New Zealand citizen arrivals, the yearly averages were 77,000 and 32,000, respectively.
In 2024-25, there were fewer arrivals on temporary visas (363,000) than in the previous year (458,000). Permanent visa holder arrivals (88,000) were also lower than the previous year (91,000), whereas Australian citizen arrivals (64,000) and New Zealand citizen arrivals (53,000) were higher.
Temporary visa holders were the largest contributors to migrant arrivals in 2024-25. While international students were the largest temporary visa group, with 157,000 arrivals, this was a decrease from the 204,000 in 2023-24. Other temporary visa holders included visitors (56,000 migrant arrivals), working holiday makers (78,000), and temporary skilled (46,000).

This is an increase of 13% on the previous year. Although travel restrictions were lifted more than three years earlier, the number of migrant departures has remained lower than the pre-pandemic level. The 2024-25 financial year recorded the second annual increase in migrant departures since the borders reopened.
In the five years prior to the pandemic, the average number of migrant departures was 288,000 per year with the largest group of departures being those on temporary visas (140,000). For Australian citizen departures, the average was 93,000, followed by New Zealand citizen departures (25,000) and permanent visa holder departures (21,000).
In 2024-25, departures for Australian citizens (82,000), permanent visa holders (19,000), and New Zealand citizens (15,000) were all lower than the yearly average from the five years prior to the pandemic. Departures for temporary visa holders (148,000) in 2024-25 were higher than the yearly average from the five years prior to the pandemic.
Due to the impact of COVID-19 travel restrictions, there were very low numbers of temporary migrants arriving in Australia during the pandemic. Many of those who arrived on temporary visas after travel restrictions were lifted are starting to leave now that enough time has elapsed since their first arrival. For example, migrant departures on temporary student visas increased 112% from 2022-23 to 2023-24, and a further 48% from 2023-24 to 2024-25, as some students finished their studies and returned home. This will continue to have a downward impact on net overseas migration as the volume of temporary migrant departures increases.

Analysis over the previous decade shows steady increases prior to the pandemic in net migration for those born in India and China. However, for the Chinese-born, a decline started from late 2017, well before the pandemic began.
In 2024-25, net gains from India and China were lower than the previous year. Net gains from the United Kingdom and New Zealand were higher than the previous year.
In 2024-25, there was a net loss of 17,000 Australian-born residents from the population. This is in line with the historical trend observed before the pandemic of a net loss each year. During 2019-20 and 2020-21, the pandemic and associated travel restrictions caused this long-term pattern to be reversed with net gains of 18,000 and 7,500 Australian-born residents added to the population, respectively.

These people were subsequently impacted by the pandemic and the associated international travel restrictions, resulting in a longer stay than initially planned.
For example, Australian-born migrant arrivals increased from September 2019 to March 2020. This was largely caused by Australian expatriates arriving in Australia for short-term visits prior to the COVID-19 outbreak, changing travel plans and remaining in Australia long enough to be considered migrant arrivals. This behaviour was also observed for other nationalities, particularly for Chinese and Indian-born women aged over 50.
In 2024-25, the top five countries of birth for migrant departures were Australia, China, India, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Compared to 2023-24, the number of migrant departures increased for each of these countries except Australia, which decreased. Departures for those born in Australia, China, the United Kingdom and New Zealand were lower than pre-pandemic levels in 2018-19, whereas Indian-born departures were higher.
Analysis of migrant departures for these five countries of birth over the last decade shows that:

Individually, every state and territory recorded a net gain to their respective populations:
The below graphs show that all states and territories typically record a net gain to their population from overseas migration each financial year, with the exception of 2020-21, where overseas migration contributed a net loss to each state and territory population during the pandemic.
Following the removal of COVID international border restrictions, in 2022-23, each state and territory experienced peak net gains to their respective populations from overseas migration. For the last two financial years, the net gain to population from overseas migration has been decreasing for all states and territories.
The below graph for the larger states shows that in 2024-25, overseas migration to New South Wales and Victoria was close to the level experienced prior to the pandemic, while overseas migration to Queensland and Western Australia was higher than the pre-COVID level.

Estimates for 2024-25 are preliminary. Preliminary estimates are based on outputs from a propensity model rather than the actual migration outcomes of each traveller. Please take care when using the variables of preliminary estimates at this level of granularity as they may be subject to proportionally large revisions. See revision status on the methodology page.
The estimates in these tables use the 12/16 month rule methodology for calculating net overseas migration. They have not been used in compiling Australia's official estimated resident population (ERP) until September quarter 2006 and onwards. See method used on the methodology page.
To confidentialise, estimates have been rounded to the nearest 10. As a result, sums of the components may not add to totals. Calculations made on rounded data may differ to those published. See confidentiality on the methodology page.
Country classification and codes are from the Standard Australian Classification of Countries (SACC), 2016.
NOM statistics by visa group in this dataset are derived from the type of visa or citizenship held when the traveller migrates to or from Australia. These counts of number of migrations by visa type should not be confused with information on the number of visas granted (and also published) by the Department of Home Affairs. Over time, new visas created by Home Affairs are added to the visa hierarchy while the use of other visas may expire. Care should be taken in the analysis of overseas migration data by visa over time.
Caution should be exercised when netting overseas migrant arrivals and departures by visa. Careful consideration should be given to insights derived from net migration by visa, as individuals frequently depart on a different visa type than the one previously held at their time of arrival. For example, a person who arrives on a student visa may depart on a temporary skilled visa.
Caution: Data in the Data Explorer is currently released after the 11:30am release on the ABS website. Please check for the current reference period when using Data Explorer.
