Sub-program 1.1: Research and Statistics
Objective
To provide accessible and relevant statistics, research and information services for policy development and discussion on Portfolio issues.
Description
This sub-program provides the Minister and the Department with data, research and information services on which policy and operational decisions are made.
Sources include statistical and other data collected by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and the Department, the Longitudinal Survey of Immigrants to Australia, the Department's library database and bibliography development, and internally and externally commissioned research.
Information is made available by dissemination of a number of publications and other information products through libraries, Government Info Shops and the Internet.
The Research and Statistics Unit of the Migration and Temporary Entry Division delivers the sub-program.
Performance information
Outcomes are measured by the extent to which research, statistics and information services:
- meet the needs of the Portfolio; and
- are accessible so that public discussion is better informed on migration, population and multicultural issues.
