The survey seeks to provide government and other agencies with reliable data to monitor and improve immigration and settlement policies, programs and services.
Longitudinal surveys ask the same questions of members of the same sample group at different times.
The LSIA consists of two cohorts, or groups. Interviews with migrants in the second cohort, LSIA2, are currently underway. This has a reduced sample size of around 3,000. Overseas, please contact your nearest Australian diplomatic office .
