Figure 1 Australia’s annual net immigration, 1861–2017 (number of persons). Source: data from ABS 2018; Phillips and
Simon-Davies 2017; Vamplew 1987, 6–7.
Note: Different estimation methods may have applied at different times, so the chart is best understood as broadly
indicative. The chart gap 1914–19 removes years where the data are distorted by the movement of service personnel
associated with the First World War.
