Abstract: type="main" xml:lang="en">

With the recent Australian Bureau of Statistics release of the Australian Census and Migrants Integrated Dataset (ACMID), we can, for the first time ever, analyse migrant Census data by visa category. For policy-makers, this is an important development: the categories of migrants are quite distinct in terms of composition and what constitutes a successful outcome will vary markedly among different groups. This article presents findings from a brief analysis of the ACMID, providing new insights into how different groups of migrants fare over time and focusing on the ‘three E's’: English proficiency, education and employment.
