COVID-19 travel restrictions

Net overseas migration

Net overseas migration is the net gain or loss of population through international migration to and from Australia.

In the year ending 30 June 2022, overseas migration contributed a net gain of 171,000 to Australia's population. This represents a very large increase in net overseas migration on the 2020-21 financial year – which saw a net loss of 85,000 people.

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. Overseas migration data in Australia shows a pattern of variability over time, due to the ever-changing global and domestic factors affecting migration. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and international travel restrictions added to this variability, as did the easing of these international travel restrictions from late 2021 which has resulted in people being able to migrate to Australia again.

Historical events which have influenced Australian migration
1861 to 1913 (pre WWI)	average gain of 20,000 people per year, with some annual losses
1916	largest net loss in a single year of 129,000 due to WWI - mainly young men
1919 (post WWI) to 1929	average gain of 46,000 per year - includes troops returning
1930 to 1945	punctuated with annual losses due to Great Depression and WWII (1939-45)
1946 (post WWII) to 2006	average gain of 90,000 per year - post-war migration program started
2007 to 2020	average net gain of 226,000 per year - more temporary migration
2020-21	net loss of 85,000 due to impact of COVID-19 pandemic - the second lowest on record
2021-22	resumption of positive net migration after COVID-19 travel restrictions lifted - a net gain of 171,000 people recorded

Migrant arrivals

The number of migrant arrivals in 2021-22 increased to 395,000, up from 146,000 the year before, which equates to an increase of 171 per cent. The easing of COVID-19 international travel restrictions in 2021 has driven this increase in migrant arrivals, however there were still fewer migrant arrivals than prior to the pandemic.

From 2015-16 to 2019-20, the average number of migrant arrivals was 523,000 per year, with 61 per cent of these arriving on temporary visas. In 2020-21, this proportion dropped to 20 per cent, however it returned to 61 per cent in 2021-22. There was an 84 per cent increase in migrant arrivals for permanent visas holders in 2021-22 compared with 2020-21.

Net overseas migration

The contributions to Australia's population from overseas migration have returned to positive net volumes for a majority of countries of birth in 2021-22. These increases are indicative of a return to trends similar to those exhibited prior to 2020-21 when reversals of longer-term trends were observed due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Estimates from September quarter 2021 onwards are preliminary. See revision status on the methodology page.
Top 5 countries of birth by the sum of migrant arrivals and migrant departures in year ending June 2022.
Excludes SARs and Taiwan.

In 2021-22, the top five countries of birth, as determined by the sum of migrant arrivals and migrant departures, were Australia, India, China, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Analysis of these countries over the previous decade shows that net overseas migration was increasing for migrants born in China, however this began to decline from late 2017, well before the COVID-19 pandemic began. Net overseas migration of migrants born in India was also increasing but contributed a net loss to Australia’s population in 2020-21 during the COVID-19 pandemic, as did the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

As travel restrictions eased, 2021-22 saw net migration from those born in India, China, the United Kingdom and New Zealand return to positive levels, however, net migration for these countries is still below pre-pandemic levels.

In 2021-22, there was a net loss of Australian-born from the population, with net overseas migration of -14,200. This is in line with the historical trend from before the pandemic. During 2020-21, international travel restrictions implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic caused this long-term pattern to be reversed with a net migration of 7,500 Australian-born added to the population.

Arrivals

In 2021-22 the top five countries of birth for migrant arrivals were India, China, Australia, Nepal and the Philippines. The number of migrant arrivals increased in 2021-22 for all of these countries except for Australia. The increases for these four countries followed substantial decreases a year earlier due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

India and China experienced very large increases for the year, with India reaching just under 60,000 arrivals and China over 44,000 arrivals. Nepal and the Philippines both increased on the previous year and have now re-entered the top 5 countries again, after each had made brief appearances in 2019-20 (the Philippines) and 2017-18 to 2018-19 (Nepal).

Of these top 5 countries of birth in 2021-22, Australia was the only one to record a decrease on the previous year, during which it had maintained a much higher level of migrant arrivals than the other four countries.

Analysis of these five countries of birth in the decade prior to the pandemic, shows that migrant arrivals had:

increased for Indian-born – driven by international students (mainly for the higher education sector)
increased for Chinese-born (also driven by international students) until experiencing a decrease prior to the effects of the pandemic
been steady for Australian-born with around 50,000 arrivals returning to Australia each year
increased for Nepalese-born – driven by international students (mainly for the higher education sector)
been steady for people born in the Philippines until experiencing an increase prior to the effects of the pandemic.

Estimates from September quarter 2021 onwards are preliminary. See revision status on the methodology page.
Top 5 countries of birth by the number of migrant arrivals in year ending June 2022.
Excludes SARs and Taiwan.

The graph above also indicates changes in travel behaviour of those who had arrived prior to the pandemic but were impacted by it and international travel restrictions.

For example, Australian-born migrant arrivals increased from September 2019 to March 2020. This was largely due to some Australian expatriates having changed their travel plans after arriving prior to COVID-19 occurring and then remaining, despite originally having planned a short trip. Because of this, some who were planning short visits actually stayed longer and became overseas migrant arrivals.

This behaviour was also observed for other nationalities such as those from China and India. Some in the older age groups arrived on visitor visas but ended up staying long enough to be counted as a migrant arrivals.

In 2021-22, there have been increases in migrant arrivals for people born in India and China, as well as the United Kingdom and New Zealand. These increases can be attributed to the easing of travel restrictions in 2021.

Departures

In 2021-22, the top five countries of birth for migrant departures were Australia, China, India, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The number of migrant departures increased in 2021-22 for those born in Australia and the United Kingdom when compared with 2020-21, whereas the number of migrant departures for those born in China, India and New Zealand decreased.

Australia saw the largest increase of all countries for the year, up more than 18,000 to 47,800 departures, after two years of consecutive decreases.

China accounted for the second highest number of departures with 29,100. This was despite also accounting for the largest decrease in departures of over 30,000.

Analysis of the top five countries of birth for 2021-22 over the previous decade shows that prior to the impact of the pandemic, for migrant departures, those born in:

Australia were the largest group departing each financial year
China increased due to international students departing. However due to COVID-19, many were recorded as migrant departures in 2019-20 when they had left Australia prior to the pandemic to visit their home country but were unable to return to Australia to continue studies
India remained stable, even though there were increases in international student arrivals during this period. Like China, in 2019-20 some were recorded as migrant departures after being unable to return to Australia due to the pandemic
UK comprised mostly of Australian Citizens born in the UK, working holiday makers, temporary skilled and permanent visa holders
NZ increased at the start of the decade to a peak of 23,000 before declining again at the end of the decade.

World regions

The mix of countries where Australia's migrant arrivals are born has changed considerably over time. A decade ago, in 2011-12, the largest group (20%) was from North-West Europe. Five years ago, in 2016-17, the largest group (23%) was from North-East Asia. By 2018-19, the year prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, this had changed substantially with the largest group (28%) of immigrants coming from South and Central Asia. During the pandemic, in 2020-21, the largest group of migrant arrivals was from Oceania (excluding Australian-born) which made up 20 per cent of the total migrant arrivals for that year.

In 2021-22, the proportion of migrant arrivals from each region was similar to 2018-19, the year prior to the pandemic. The largest group was from South and Central Asia (32%).

Historically, overseas migration has contributed a net gain to Australia's population, with migrants coming from many countries across the globe.

The top countries of birth contributing to changes in population vary for different states and territories. In 2021-22, those born in:

Nepal were the highest contributor of net overseas migration to NSW
India were the highest contributor for Vic., Qld and SA,
The Philippines were the highest contributor for WA,
Samoa were the highest contributor for Tas.,
Afghanistan were the highest contributor for NT,
China were the highest contributor for ACT.
