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 2024, overseas migration contributed a net gain of 446,000 people to Australia's population. This was a decrease from the record 536,000 people the previous year.

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.

2023-24 represents the first annual decrease in net overseas migration since the border restrictions were lifted. This lower level was led by a decrease in migrant arrivals, largely temporary visa holders, while departures increased during the same period.

Migrant arrivals

In 2023-24, the number of migrant arrivals decreased to 667,000, down from 739,000 the year before. This equates to an annual decrease of 10%. In 2022-23, there was an annual increase of 73%. Migrant arrivals in 2023-24 represent the first decrease since the borders reopened.

In the five years prior to the pandemic, the average number of migrant arrivals was 515,000 per year with the majority arriving on temporary visas (307,000). For those who arrived on a permanent visa, the average was 92,000. For Australian and New Zealand citizens arriving it was 77,000 and 32,000 respectively.

In 2023-24, those on temporary visas (465,000) recorded lower volumes than the previous year (557,000). Permanent visa holder arrivals (91,000), Australian citizen arrivals (60,000) and New Zealand citizens (51,000) however, recorded higher volumes.

Temporary visa holders were the largest contributors to migrant arrivals in 2023-24. While international students were the largest temporary visa group with 207,000 arrivals, this was a decrease from the 278,000 in 2022-23. Other temporary visa holders included visitors (90,000 migrant arrivals), working holiday makers (80,000), and temporary skilled (49,000).

Migrant departures

In 2023-24, the number of migrant departures increased to 221,000, up from 204,000 the year before. This is an increase of 8% on the previous year. Although travel restrictions were lifted more than two years earlier, the number of migrant departures has remained lower than the pre-pandemic level. 2023-24 also represents the first 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 citizens departing, the average was 93,000, followed by New Zealand citizens (25,000) and permanent visa holders (21,000).

In 2023-24, departures for temporary visa holders (104,000), Australian citizens (84,000), permanent visa holders (19,000), and New Zealand citizens (14,000) all recorded lower levels than the five-year pre-pandemic average.

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, such as international students, are starting to leave now as enough time has elapsed since their first arrival after the lifting of border restrictions. For example, migrant departures on temporary student visas increased 97% from 2022-23, as some 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.

Country of birth

Net overseas migration

In 2023-24, the top five countries of birth for overseas migrants were India, China, Australia, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. Analysis over the previous decade shows steady increases prior to the pandemic for migrants born in India and China. However, for the Chinese-born, a decline started from late 2017, well before the pandemic began.

Estimates from September quarter 2023 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 2024.
Excludes SARs and Taiwan.

In 2023-24, 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 2023-24, there was a net loss of 22,000 Australian-born from the population. This is in line with the historical trend observed before the pandemic of a net loss each year. During 2020-21, the pandemic and associated travel restrictions caused this long-term pattern to be reversed with a net gain of 7,500 Australian-born residents added to the population.

Arrivals

In 2023-24 the top five countries of birth for migrant arrivals were India, China, the Philippines, Australia and the United Kingdom. Compared to 2022-23, the number of migrant arrivals decreased for all these countries except Australia and the United Kingdom, which both increased. Arrivals from India, China, the Philippines and the United Kingdom were higher than pre-pandemic levels in 2018-19.

Analysis of these five countries of birth over the years 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 in 2018, prior to the effects of the pandemic
been steady for people born in the Philippines until experiencing an increase prior to the effects of the pandemic
been steady for Australian-born with around 50,000 arrivals returning to Australia each year
decreased for UK-born – due to declines in working holiday makers, those on temporary skilled visas and permanent visa holders.

Top 5 countries of birth by the number of migrant arrivals in year ending June 2024.
Excludes SARs and Taiwan.

In addition to recent high levels of migration now beginning to decrease, the graph above indicates changes in travel behaviour of those who had arrived prior to the pandemic but were impacted by it and the associated 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 in Australia, 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 migrant arrivals.

Departures

In 2023-24, 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 2023-24 for those born in China, India and the United Kingdom when compared with 2022-23, whereas the number of migrant departures for those born in Australia and New Zealand 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 in the years prior to the pandemic shows that:

those born in Australia were the largest group departing each financial year
departures of Chinese-born 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 for a short trip but were unable to return to Australia to continue their studies
Indian-born migrant departures 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-born migrant departures comprised mostly of Australian Citizens born in the UK, working holiday makers, temporary skilled and permanent visa holders
the number of departures for those born in NZ increased at the start of the decade, reaching a peak of 23,000 (year ending March 2016), before gradually declining for the remainder of the decade.

World regions

The mix of countries where Australia's migrant arrivals are born has changed considerably over time. In 2023-24, the region which contributed the most arrivals was Southern and Central Asia with 26%.

A decade ago, in 2013-14, the largest group (20%) was from North-East Asia. In 2018-19, the year prior to the pandemic, this had changed with the largest group (25%) of migrant arrivals coming from Southern and Central Asia. This is a pattern which has continued post-pandemic.

Country of birth

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 2023-24, the top country of birth contributing the largest net gain to each population was:

India for Vic., Qld, SA, Tas. and NT,
China for NSW and ACT,
Bhutan for WA.
