Recent Quarterly NOM Trend
Latest ABS API quarter: Dec Qtr 2025. FY2025–26 runs from July 2025 to June 2026, so its first two displayed quarters are labelled Sep 2025 and Dec 2025. Later quarters appear only after ABS publishes them.
FY2024–25 is the final Home Affairs outcome. FY2025–26 is the published planning level because final outcomes have not yet been released. Humanitarian visas are a separate program and are excluded.
Net contribution equals migrant arrivals minus migrant departures. These preliminary ABS figures are not visa approvals.
