Settling in Australia

Looking at the Australian immigration statistics for the past 10 years, it appears that the Net Permanent Migration is slightly below 50% of the total Settler Arrival Numbers.

It seems that people who immigrate in Australia do not always intend to stay permanently. To me there is also a category of people who intended to stay but changed their mind after a while.

Immigrating permanently to any country is no easy achievement and requires total commitment.

Australia being such a remote country, with so much space, can lead to feelings of isolation from the rest of the world... be sure you integrate this factor into your immigration plans.


On the other hand, immigration has contributed 1 million people every 10 years to the Australian population over the past 60 years.
