Study Title	Overseas arrivals and departures, Australia 1975-1981: six-monthly detailed tables: File a76
Primary Investigator	Department of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs
ADA ID	au.edu.anu.ada.ddi.00403-a76
Abstract	Statistics of overseas arrivals in, and departures from, Australia are collected by means of the Incoming and Outgoing Passenger cards completed by all travellers. As well as being used for statistical purposes, the information collected is used by the Department of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs for administrative purposes. Data is made available on a six-monthly basis, in matrix format, from the beginning of 1975 to the end of 1981, and relates to the number of movements in a specified time, rather than the number of travellers (i.e. the multiple movements of individual persons within the time period are each counted separately). Information collected includes category of travel, duration of stay, country of birth, citizenship, dis/embarkation, as well as age, marital status and sex, and occupation.

Methodology	Content
Sampling Procedure	stratified random sample Overseas arrivals and departures statistics are derived from a combination of full enumeration and sampling. Fully enumerated strata cover all movements by sea, regardless of duration of stay, all permanent movements, and all movements with a duration of stay of one year or more. All movements by air with a duration of stay less than one year are sampled according to the stratifications listed below, and statistics relating to these movements are therefore estimates which may differ from statistics which would have been obtained if details of all these movements had been processed. Sample stratification to July 1 1979: Overseas visitors, according to country of citizenship: New Zealand or USA: 1 in 30 UK or Australia: 1 in 20 Canada or Japan: 1 in 10 Other: 1 in 4 Australian residents departing: 1 in 10 Australian residents returning: 1 in 20 Sample stratification from 1 July 1979: Country of citizenship USA, UK, or Ireland: 1 in 20 Australia, New Zealand, Canada or Japan: 1 in 10 Any other individual country: 1 in 4
