PrintJoint Commonwealth–state research program for the payment to the Australian Population, Immigration and Multicultural Research Program
Objective
Provide information to assist with the formulation and assessment of policies by the Australian Government, state and territory ministers and departments.
Description
The Australian Population, Immigration and Multicultural Research Program (APIMRP) was established jointly by the Australian Government and state and territory governments to undertake studies in the areas of migration, migration settlement, multicultural affairs and population trends. Individual studies are designed to gather information not adequately covered by existing data and surveys.
In 2007–08, the Australian Government contributed $50 000 to this program.
Performance
In 2007–08 the APIMRP continued its work on The People of Australia, a series of publications based on data from the 2006 Census. These reports provide a comprehensive, statistical description of Australia's diverse population down to the local government level.
