“16 Interesting Statistics About Moving To Australia”  is a list I discovered posted by Scott King at http://www.traveleverywhere.net/ (a fantastic travel tips and information site by the way) with some real eye opening nuggets. Among the moving to Australia statistical highlights for the 2008-2009 financial year:

#1) 224,619 people permanently moved to Australia. This was a 9.1% rise over the previous 12 month period, showing an almost continuous year on year rise.

#4) 182 people entered Australia under the title of having a ‘Distinguished Talent’. According to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, this is for “people who are internationally recognized for exceptional and outstanding achievement in a profession, the arts, sport or research or academia.”

#6) In respect of age, more women aged between 25 and 34 moved to Australia than any other age or sex, with 36,947.

#11) The United Kingdom has appeared in the top 2 countries in which immigrants arrive from since 1978.

Make sure to click through to the page to see the whole list. However, one of the most shocking things to me is how many of these moving to Australia statistics and information pages continue to propagate the web. A key reason for this can also be seen on the page in their introduction. As they state:

“Seen by many as one of the most popular places on earth, several of Australia’s cities often rank on annual surveys of the best places to live in the world. With hundreds of thousands of people deciding to move to Australia (whether permanently or temporarily) each and every year, the country is expected to have a population of 36 million by 2050, according to The Australian newspaper.”

Moving to Australia continues to increase in popularity and, as the list mentions, shows no sign of slowing down anytime in the coming decades. The statistics found online back this up and we will keep pointing you towards the most interesting ones as they become available.
