Aims + Outcomes
The purpose of this follow-up survey is to better understand migrant settlement experiences over the last 12 months. These include changes in your employment situation since the first survey, satisfaction with life in Australia and participation in further education.
Methods
The survey primarily focusses on collecting information about recent migrants (including new visa holders) to understand their experiences in migrating to Australia.
The survey also collects information on partners of recent migrants and/or new visa holders to understand experiences for this group of individuals. To do this, the survey asks for some information about you. This may include personal information, such as employment status and income.
The follow-up survey can be completed online or over the phone.

Who participates?
The Department surveyed recent Family and Skill stream migrants who have been granted a permanent residence visa or are on the path to permanent residence after being granted a provisional visa. Invited participants completed a survey at the end of 2024.
What are the benefits?
The results of the survey will be used to determine how effective the Department’s current policies are. The results will also help the Department understand how well migrants are settling into Australia and the types of issues migrants experience. Understanding these factors enables the Australian Government to provide better settlement services for migrants and to improve Australia’s Migration Program.
How does it work?
This survey should take about 10 minutes to complete, and your participation is entirely voluntary. To access this survey, you will need the Login code located in the email you received or the panel on the top right hand corner of the letter you received.

FAQs
Can someone else answer for me, like my husband, wife, partner, child or parent?
If you have difficulties understanding English, another member of your household can assist you when answering the survey. The SRC also has interviewers who speak a range of other languages.
Can I take part from overseas?
To give you the best opportunity to participate, the survey will be run over several weeks. If you are away for longer than this, then it is unlikely that you’ll be able to take part.
