Press & data
Data you can quote
We publish figures on migration to Australia drawn from primary sources and from our own operating data. All of it is free to reproduce with attribution — no permission needed, no embargo, no form to fill in. If you need a human on the record rather than a number, our spokesperson is named below.
How to credit us
A link to the page you took the figure from, and the words Moving to Australia. That is the whole requirement. Where a figure originates with the ABS or the Department of Home Affairs, please credit them as the source and us as the analysis — the distinction is stated on each page so you can tell which is which.
What we hold
Four datasets, with what each is and where it comes from. Where a figure is our own rather than a government release, it says so — and where our own data is a model rather than a measurement, it says that too.
Australian immigration statistics
Net overseas migration, permanent program places, source countries, state breakdown and age profile.
- Source
- ABS Overseas Migration and Department of Home Affairs, with the release date stated on the page.
- Worth knowing
- Every chart is paired with a data table, so the figures can be read and quoted without a screenshot.
Australian salaries against UK equivalents, converted
Published salary ranges for four occupations converted at a stated GBP/AUD rate, plus the superannuation gap.
- Source
- Published Australian and UK salary data, converted at GBP/AUD 1.90, July 2026.
- Worth knowing
- The finding worth knowing: the widely repeated claim that Australian salaries are two to three times UK equivalents comes from not converting the currency. Converted, the gap runs from about +31% for nurses to roughly level for civil engineers.
Household shipment volumes by property size
Cubic-metre volumes for four household sizes, computed from a per-item inventory model rather than estimated.
- Source
- Our own inventory data — the same per-item volumes our quotes are priced on.
- Worth knowing
- Each figure is the sum of a named list of items, so it can be checked rather than taken on trust.
Reciprocal health care agreements, country by country
What each of the eleven agreements actually covers, including which visitors cannot enrol in Medicare at all.
- Source
- Services Australia, verified July 2026.
- Worth knowing
- Irish and New Zealand visitors are covered for public hospital treatment but not GP appointments, which is not stated plainly anywhere else we found.
Embed the migration tracker
An interactive tracker of net overseas migration, source countries, state breakdown and visa arrivals. It updates with each quarterly ABS release, so an embed does not go stale the way a screenshot does. Free to use on any site, with the source credit kept intact.
The snippet is on our statistics page under “Embed this tracker”. Each view also carries a quote-ready sentence you can paste straight into copy, with the citation already attached.
Comment and background
For comment on the record, our spokesperson is Maiane Cassanego.
Maiane Cassanego
International Relocation Advisor
Maiane handles relocations to Australia end to end, from first enquiry through customs and biosecurity clearance to delivery at the other end. She speaks from what actually happens to shipments rather than from policy documents, which is the useful half of most stories on this subject.
- Speaks to
- International household removals and shipping to Australia; Australian customs and biosecurity clearance of personal effects; what gets held at the border and why; moving pets and vehicles; and what the migration data shows about the UK-to-Australia corridor.
- Does not speak to
- Visa eligibility, applications or immigration strategy. Immigration assistance is a regulated activity in Australia and belongs with a registered migration agent, as our services page sets out. We will point you to one rather than answer it ourselves.
- Formats
- Written comment, phone or video call. Email first with your deadline and we will arrange a time.
For anything time-sensitive, email is faster than a form. Tell us your deadline in the subject line and we will say yes or no rather than leave you waiting.
