| (a) Year ended 31 December. |
| (b) Prior to 1972, net overseas migration was defined as the difference between total arrivals and total departures, including short-term movements. From 1972 to the June quarter 2006, net overseas migration is defined as the difference between permanent and long-term arrivals and permanent and long-term departures, plus an adjustment for category jumping from 1976. |
| (c) Net overseas migration estimates for September quarter 2006 onwards use an improved methodology and are not comparable with estimates from earlier periods. The key change is the introduction of a '12/16 month rule' for determining a person's residency in Australia, replacing the previous '12/12 month rule'. |
