Caveats

The Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF) reports on data sourced from the Settlement Database (SOB). There are limitations in the data capture, theactual data and the reporting system.

Data Capture

•SOB collects data concerning settlers who have been granted a permanent (or provisional) visa.

•SOB data is compiled from a number of sources including Department of Immigration andCitizenship (DIAC),other Commonwealth agencies and service providers.

•A subset of SOB data is copied to the SRF on the 5th day of each month.

Data limitations

•SRF includes settlers who were:

• granted a permanent (or provisional) visa after 1/1/1991and arrived in Australia within 25 months of visa grant,(or are yet to arrive and it has been less than 25 months since their visa was granted),or
• who arrived in Australia after 1/1/1991having been granted a permanent (or provisional)visa prior to 1/1/1991.

•SRF is missing some settlers who were granted visas from 1/7/1999 to 31/08/2003.

•SRF has not been adjusted to reflect settlers who are deceased.

•SRF has not been adjusted to reflect settlers who have permanently departed Australia.

•SRF has not been adjusted to reflect settlers who have had their grants cancelled.

•SRF includes some duplicate settler records.

•SRF includes many data items that are not mandatory.

•SRF includes only the settler's latest known residential (or intended residential) address. Address information is only updated if DIAC is notified. Some settlers have no address details recorded.

•SRF location data is based on the 2001Australian Standard Geographic Classification (ASGC).

•SRF includes only the latest permanent (or provisional) visa for a settler.

Reporting limitations

•Reports cannot provide numbers of settlers in specified locations for past years. Nor can reports show settlement patterns or trends for specified locations.

•Reports including numbers of settlers in specified locations may be inaccurate due to limitations in address data.This is particularly problematic for regional/rural locations.

•Settlers with an existing permanent (or provisional) visa may appear in different reporting categories over time if they are granted a subsequent permanent (or provisional) visa.

•Reports including numbers of settlers of 5 or fewer have been suppressed (indicated by an asterisk*) for client confidentiality.

•Reports including 'not stated’, ‘invalid' or 'not recorded' labels indicate that the data is unavailable.

Report Usage

•Please attribute DIAC as the data source when using SRF reports.
