SRF Data Dictionary


Overview

The SRF Data Dictionary is part of an information package designed to aid users’

interpretation of settlement information. This package is designed to address how

Settlement Reporting Facility reports are created, what they mean and how they should be

used.

The SRF Data Dictionary contains information regarding the data fields available when

creating reports using the Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF). Each field heading has been

defined followed by a brief instruction on how different criteria and filters can be used.

Further to this, corresponding tables have been added which list all the individual data fields

available. Further information on how to produce and interpret reports using the SRF is

available in the following documents:

Frequently Asked Questions

Country of Birth Tip Sheet;

Visa Subclass and Migration Stream Tip Sheet;

Location Tip Sheet;

Main Language Tip Sheet.

Settlement Target Group Tip Sheet; and

Settlement Date Tip Sheet.

It is expected that the help documentation will be regularly reviewed and updated, where

necessary, on a 6-monthly basis. This will allow for any developments or newly identified

issues to be included.

A

Age on Arrival

Age on Arrival refers to a settler’s age when they arrive in Australia. Age on Arrival is

calculated from the data collected from settlers about their date of birth, which is recorded by

the Department of Immigration and Border Protection on a mandatory basis, and their

recorded Arrival Date in the Settlement Database (SDB).

Age on Arrival Criterion

Reports generated using the Age on Arrival Criterion will produce numbers of settlers

for all of the Settlement Age Range fields/groups. Please see Settlement Age Range in

Table 1 for a full list of these fields

Age on Arrival Filter

The Age on Arrival Filter can be used to filter reports by the specific Age Board Range

fields, the

Age Broad Range Settlement Age Range Age on Arrival/Grant

Under 18

00-05 All individual ages from 0 to 5




18 to 64






65 and over 65+ All individual ages from 65 to 120

specific Settlement Age Range fields or specific Ages. Using this filter allows for one or

more of the Settlement Age Range fields to be selected and reported on. Reports will

generate number of settlers for each selected field. Please see Table 1 for a full list of

these fields.

Table 1 – Age on Arrival

SRF Data Dictionary


Arrival Date

Arrival Date refers to the date of arrival to Australia by a settler who holds a Settlement Visa.

For Settlement Visas that were granted onshore (in Australia), the Arrival Date refers to the

latest date of arrival prior to the grant of that visa.

For Settlement Visas that were granted offshore (outside of Australia), the Arrival Date refers

to the first date of arrival after the grant of that visa.

Arrival Date is one of the two Date Type Criteria that can be selected in conjunction with the

Date Range to generate a report. Arrival Date is the default and will collect information on

settlers who arrived in Australia within the specified Date Range.

Australian Citizenship

A settler can apply for Australian Citizenship when they meet eligibility requirements. For

further information regarding Australian Citizenship, please see Australian Citizenship

website or call 131 880. For information on Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF) reports

regarding Australian Citizenship please see Citizenship.

Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC)

Geographic data in the Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF) is defined according to the 2011

Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) Main Structure and Local

Government Area Structure, published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).

The 2011 ASGC Main Structure defines the spatial units Statistical Local Area (SLA),

Statistical Sub-Division (SSD) and Statistical Division (SD). In the SRF, settler postcode data

is used to allocate SLAs which then aggregate to form SSDs, these then aggregate to form

SDs. The ABS 2011 ASGC Correspondences are used for this process.

The 2011 ASGC Local Government Area Structure defines the spatial units Statistical Local

Area (SLA) and Local Government Area (LGA). In the SRF, settler postcode data is used to

directly allocate LGAs. The ABS 2011 ASGC Correspondences are used for this process.

Figure 1 demonstrates how these two structures are applied in the SRF.

Some postcodes may correspond to more than one SLA and/or LGA. In these cases, the

Settlement Database (SDB) uses the appropriate ABS 2011 ASGC Correspondences file to

allocate the postcode by determining that the SLA or LGA which receives the highest

percentage of population for a particular postcode will receive all the data for that postcode.

It should be noted that although efforts are made to keep up to date address information for

settlers recorded in the SDB, not all location data can be considered as current and for many

settlers, no location data is recorded.

Further information about SLAs, LGAs, SSDs and SDs can be found under their individual

headings in this dictionary.

ABS Geography website

For more information on how to generate a report by location, please see the Location Tip

Sheet.

C

Calendar Year of Arrival

Calendar Year of Arrival refers to the calendar year in which a settler who holds a Settlement

Visa arrived in Australia. A calendar year is defined as 1 January to 31 December inclusive,

of any given year. In the Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF) calendar years can be selected

starting from 1 January 1991. If a settler has more than one Settlement Visa recorded,

generally the arrival date for the first visa is used.

http://www.abs.gov.au/geography



SRF Data Dictionary


Calendar Year of Arrival Criterion

Calendar Year of Arrival Criterion generates reports which produce numbers of settlers

who have arrived within the selected Date Range. When a report is generated using

Calendar Year of Arrival Criterion, the results will be divided and shown in their

respective calendar years.

Citizenship

In the Settlement Reporting Facility, Citizenship refers to settlers who have been granted

Australian Citizenship. More information about Australian Citizenship can be found on the

Citizenship website, Australian Citizenship website

Citizenship Criterion

The Citizenship Criterion generates reports which produce numbers of settlers who

have acquired Australian Citizenship within a specific calendar year. A calendar year is

defined as 1 January to 31 December inclusive, of any given year. In the Settlement

Reporting Facility (SRF) calendar years can be selected starting from 1 January 1991.

Country of Birth (COB)

Country of Birth (COB) refers to the country in which a settler was born. COB is recorded by

the Department of Immigration and Border Protection on a mandatory basis for every person

who is involved in a visa application.

Within the Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF), COB data is structured into a four level

hierarchy. These are: Settlement World Region, Settlement Sub-Region, Country of Birth

Settlement and Country of Birth (Direct), where Settlement World Region is the largest

grouping, followed by Settlement Sub-Region.

Country of Birth Settlement and Country of Birth (Direct) are very similar listings and should

be used with care. The differences between the two are that the Country of Birth (Direct)

includes current, past and alternative names for some countries. For example both Burma

and Myanmar are listed and can be reported on. The Country of Birth (Settlement) Criterion

groups these countries under the one name. For example Myanmar cannot be selected and

its number of settlers will be grouped under the heading Burma.

Attachment A demonstrates which countries are affected by these groupings. Additionally

these countries have been shaded in grey in Table 2.

Country of Birth (Settlement) Criterion

The Country of Birth (Settlement) Criterion generates reports which produce numbers

of settlers for all of the Country of Birth Settlement countries. A full list of Country of

Birth Settlement countries is listed in Table 2.


SRF Data Dictionary


Country of Birth (World Region) Criterion

The Country of Birth (World Region) Criterion generates reports which produce

numbers of settlers for all of the Settlement Sub-Regions. A full list of Settlement Sub-

Regions is listed in Table 2.

Country of Birth (Direct) Filter

The Country of Birth (Direct) Filter can be used to filter reports by the Country of Birth

(Direct) countries. Using this filter allows for one or more Country of Birth (Direct)

countries to be selected and reported on. Reports will generate numbers of settlers for

each selected field. A full list of the Country of Birth (Direct) countries is listed in

Table 2.

Country of Birth (Regions) Filter

The Country of Birth (Regions) Filter can be used to filter reports by each of the

specific Settlement World Regions fields, Settlement Sub-Regions fields and Country

of Birth Settlement fields. A full list of the categories under each of these groups is

listed in Table 2.

Please note that in order to generate a report which produces numbers of settlers by each

individual Country of Birth Settlement grouped under a Settlement Sub-Region, the Country

of Birth (Settlement) Criterion must be selected and the report must then be filtered using the

Country of Birth (Regions) Filter.

For more information on how to generate a report by Country of Birth, please see the

Country of Birth Tip Sheet.

Please see Attachment B for an alphabetical listing of the Country of Birth Table.

D

Date Type

The Date Type option in the Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF) allows for the selection of

either Arrival Date or Visa Grant Date to be applied to the selected Date Range. More

information on Arrival Date, Visa Grant Date and Date Range can be found under their

specific headings within this dictionary.

For more information on running reports using the Date Type function, please see the

Settlement Date Tip Sheet;

Date Range

Date Range is used within the Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF) to limit report outputs to

selected date ranges. A start date and end date must be entered according to day, month

and year. Furthermore, the Date Range selected can be applied to either settler Arrival Date

or settler Visa Grant Date using the Date Type option. The earliest date which can be

selected in the SRF is 1 January 1991. This is because this is when data was first collected

by the Settlement Database (SDB). Data from the SDB is updated to the SRF on the fifth of

each month. When generating a report requiring the most up to date information the most

recent date which can be selected is the fourth day of the given month of the given year.

E

English Proficiency (EP)

English Proficiency (EP) relates to a settler’s level of spoken English. This information is

available only for settlers aged five years and over at the time of visa grant. EP data is

collected from various sources depending on the settler’s visa Migration Stream. This can

include formal English tests or self-assessments. Updated EP data is recorded from the

AMEP Reporting and Management System (ARMS) for settlers who enrol in the Adult

Migration English Program (AMEP) after arrival in Australia.

Reporting on EP may result in a high proportion of ‘not stated’ results, particularly for the

Skilled and Family Migration Streams. However, Humanitarian Migration Stream entrants

tend to have more complete records for EP.


SRF Data Dictionary


English Proficiency Criterion

The English Proficiency Criterion generates reports which produce numbers on all of

the English Proficiency fields. A full list of English Proficiency fields is included in

Table 4.

English Proficiency Filter

The English Proficiency Filter can be used to filter reports by each of the English

Proficiency fields. Using this filter allows for one or more of the English Proficiency

fields to be selected and reported on. Reports will generate number of settlers for each

selected field. Please see Table 4 for a full list of these fields.

Ethnicity

Ethnicity provides a description of the ethnic background of settlers beyond the information

available from Country of Birth and Main Language data. There are over 350 ethnic groups

recorded in the Settlement Database (SDB).

This information is most reliably available for Humanitarian Migration Stream entrants. For

the Skilled and Family migration streams collection of Ethnicity data is not mandatory, hence

data for these streams has a high level of ‘not stated’ or ‘unknown’ results.

Ethnicity (Direct Humanitarian Only) Filter

The Ethnicity (Direct Humanitarian Only) Filter can be used to filter reports by each of

the Ethnicity fields. Using this filter allows for one or more of the Ethnicity fields to be

selected and reported on. Reports will generate number of settlers for each selected

field. Please see Table 5 for a full list of Ethnicities.

Filters

Filters is an option within the Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF) which enables report

results to be filtered according to specifically selected fields. Each filter option may be

broken down into many layers of selectable information. Filters are grouped and displayed

under general headings in the SRF. Table 6 lists each of these groupings and the filters

listed under each. Information regarding each individual filter can be located under its

specific heading within this dictionary.

Financial Year of Arrival

Financial Year of Arrival refers to the financial year in which a settler, who holds a

Settlement Visa, arrived in Australia. Financial Year of Arrival is determined by settlers’

recorded Arrival Date. A financial year is defined as the period from 1 July to the 30 June.

Financial Year of Arrival Criterion

Financial Year of Arrival Criterion generates reports which produce numbers of settlers for all

of the financial years within the selected Date Range. When a report is generated, the

results will be divided and shown in their respective Financial Year of Arrival.

G

Gender

Gender information is collected from settlers when completing a visa application.

Gender Criterion

The Gender Criterion generates reports which produce numbers of settlers for all of

the gender fields. A full list of the gender fields is included in Table 7.

Gender Filter

The Gender Filter can be used to filter reports by each specific gender field. Using this

filter allows for one or more of the Gender fields to be selected and reported on.

Local Government Area (LGA)

Local Government Area (LGA) is a spatial unit defined in the Local Government Area

Structure of the 2011 Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) published by

the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). LGAs aggregate to form the incorporated areas of

State and Territories and as such do not cover the whole of Australia.

In the SRF, LGA refers to the Local Government Area in which a settler resides.

The Settlement Database (SDB) allocates which LGA a settler resides in based on settler

postcode data recorded in the SDB. Some postcodes may correspond to more than one

LGA. In these cases, the Settlement Database (SDB) uses the appropriate ABS 2011 ASGC

Correspondence file to allocate the postcode by determining that the LGA which receives the

highest percentage of population for a particular postcode will receive all the data for that

postcode.


settlers recorded in the SDB, not all LGA information can be considered as current and for

many settlers, no LGA is recorded.

LGA of Residence (Name) Criterion

The LGA of Residence (Name) Criterion generates reports which produce numbers of

settlers for all of the LGAs.

SRF Data Dictionary


M

Main Language

Main Language refers to a settler’s recorded main language in the Settlement Database

(SDB). In the SDB there are approximately 300 different languages recorded. Main

Language data is obtained from a number of different sources.

For settlers who enrol with the Adult Migrant Education Program (AMEP) after arrival in

Australia, main language data comes from the AMEP Reporting and Management System

(ARMS) database.

Main Language is not recorded for all settlers in the SDB. It may be missing for portions of

settlers in the Skilled and Family migration streams. However, this variable is captured well

for the Humanitarian migration stream, particularly for more recently arrived settlers.

Main Language Criterion

The Main Language Criterion generates reports which produce numbers of settlers for

all of the Main Language fields. A full list of Main Languages is listed in Table 8.

Main Language (Regions) Filter

The Main Language (Regions) Filter can be used to filter reports by each of the

Language Broad Range fields, Language Sub-Groups fields and individual Language

fields. Using this filter allows for one or more of these fields to be selected and

reported on. Reports will generate numbers of settlers for each selected field. Table 8

shows the structure of how individual languages and Sub-group Languages fit into the

Language Broad Group fields.

Main Language (Direct) Filter

The Main Language (Direct) Filter can be used to filter reports by each of the individual

languages listed under Language in Table 8. Using this filter allows for one or more

languages to be selected and reported on. Reports will generate numbers of settlers

for each selected language. Further to the list of languages listed in Table 8, the Main

Language (Direct) Filter also allows for the selection of ‘Non Verbal So Described’ and

‘Inadequately Described’.

For more information on how to generate a report by Main Language, please see the Main

Language Tip Sheet.

Place of Residence

Place of Residence refers to the last known residence of a settler.

In the Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF), Place of Residence information can be reported

according to a settler’s State of Residence, Statistical Division (SD) of residence, Statistical

Sub-Division (SSD) of residence, Statistical Local Area (SLA) of residence, or Local

Government Area (LGA) of residence. Each of these statistical areas is defined in the 2011

Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC), published by the Australian Bureau

of Statistics (ABS).

In the SRF, a settler’s recorded postcode is used to determine each of these spatial units.

Postcodes are used to form SLAs and LGAs. SLAs then aggregate to form SSDs and SDs

Some postcodes may correspond to more than one SLA or LGA. In these cases, the

Settlement Database (SDB) uses the appropriate ABS 2011 ASGC Correspondence file to

allocate the postcode by determining that the SLA and/or LGA which receives the highest

percentage of population for a particular postcode will receive all the data for that postcode.

Religion Criterion

The Religion Criterion generates reports which produce numbers of settlers of all the

individual Religion fields. It will also include number of settlers for fields ‘Not Stated’

and ‘Inadequately Described’. A full list of Religions is included in Table 12.

Religion (Groups) Filter

The Religion (groups) Filter can be used to filter reports by each of the Religion fields.

The Religion (groups) Filter is structured in three tiers. The top tier, Religion Broad

Group, contains broad group headings, under which are listed narrow group headings.

These then break down into individual religions.

Settlement Database (SDB)

The Settlement Database (SDB) has been developed to provide statistical data for

government and community agencies involved in the planning and provision of settlement

services. It brings together data from various Department of Immigration and Border

Protection systems and a number of other sources including Medicare Australia. The SDB is

a repository of information on permanent, and some temporary, settlers who have arrived in

Australia since 1 January 1991. Data from the SDB is uploaded to the Settlement Reporting

Facility (SRF) on the 5th day of every month.

Settlement Date

The Settlement Date refers to the date in which a settler is deemed to have settled in

Australia. Settlement Date is derived from either a settlers recorded arrival date or visa grant

date. For settlers who were granted their current SDB visa offshore, the Settlement Date is

their first recorded arrival date into Australia after the grant of that visa. For settlers who

were granted their current SDB visa onshore, The Settlement Date is their current visa grant

date.

For more information on how to generate a report using Settlement Date, please see the

Settlement Date Tip Sheet.

Settlement Pathway

Settlement Pathway refers to settlers who have been granted more than one Settlement

Visa before permanently settling in Australia. These settlers will have two visas recorded in

the Settlement Database (SDB); one is their most current Settlement Visa while the other is

their previous Settlement Visa. There are a number of reasons why a settler may have more

than one Settlement Visa recorded. These are:

• Often there will be one or more temporary visas issued prior to a permanent visa.

• Sometimes a settler will have been granted a visa, but it expires before they

travel, and they are then granted a new visa.

• Sometimes, a settler will have been granted a visa, then leave Australia for a

number of years, prior to embarking on a new path to permanent settlement.

• Sometimes, a settler will have been granted a Settlement Visa, travel to Australia,

remain in Australia on non-Settlement Visas, then continue their path to

permanent settlement.


SRF Data Dictionary


If the settler has had an out of effect visa (of any type) for more than 7 days from the grant

date of the current Settlement Visa and the grant date of the new Settlement Visa, then the

settler is deemed to have commenced a new permanent Settlement Pathway.

Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF)

The Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF) is a web-based interface that accesses a range of

information from the Settlement Database (SDB) and allows the production of statistical

reports of settler data. Data from the SDB is uploaded to the SRF on the 5th of each month.

The SRF is available to the public via the Department of Social Services website.

Settlement Target Group

Settlement Target Group is a group of settlers eligible for settlement services. It consists of

settlers who meet the following criteria:

Onshore settlers in the following categories are included in the SGP Target Group:

• permanent Humanitarian migration stream settlers;

• permanent Family migration stream settlers with low English proficiency;

• temporary Family migration stream settlers with low English proficiency living in

rural/regional locations;

• dependants of permanent Skilled settlers with low English proficiency living in


• dependants of temporary Skilled settlers with low English proficiency living in


• settlers holding subclass 151 (former resident) visas and have who have accessed the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP).

Settlers are considered to have low English proficiency if:

• their English Proficiency is recorded as Good, Poor or Nil in the Settlement

Database (SDB); or

• their English proficiency has not been recorded in the SDB, and their Birth

Country is classified in the SDB as EP3 or EP4 (see English Proficiency (EP)

Country Group for details).

All locations are regarded as rural/regional, except for the following Statistical Divisions

(SDs):

• Sydney SD

• Melbourne SD

• Brisbane SD

• Gold Coast SD

• Perth SD

• Adelaide SD

• Canberra SD

and the following Statistical Sub-Divisions (SSDs):

SLA of Residence - Statistical Local Area (SLA)

Statistical Local Area (SLA) is the smallest spatial unit defined in the Main Structure of the

2011 Australian Standard Geographical Classification (ASGC) published by the Australian

Bureau of Statistics (ABS). SLAs aggregate to from the spatial unit Statistical Sub-Division

(SSD).

In the Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF), SLA of Residence refers to the Statistical Local

Area (SLA) in which a settler resides.

The Settlement Database (SDB) allocates which SLA a settler resides in based on settler

postcode data recorded in the SDB. Some postcodes may correspond to more than one

SLA. In these cases, the Settlement Database (SDB) uses the appropriate ABS 2011 ASGC

Correspondence file to allocate the postcode by determining that the SLA which receives the


postcode.

Visa Grant Date

Visa Grant Date refers to the date on which a Settlement Visa was granted to the visa

holder. Visa Grant Date is one of two Date Type criteria that can be selected in conjunction

with the Date Range filter to generate a report.

Visa stream

Please see Migration Stream.

Visa Subclass

A Visa Subclass is a three digit code which identifies the visa holder’s purpose in Australia.

The Settlement Database (SDB) only collects data on permanent visas and settlement

pathway temporary visas. Some visa subclasses are no longer available. However, reports

can be generated for all historical and current visa subclasses.

When producing a report by visa subclass from the Settlement Reporting Facility (SRF) the

data produced will be for a settler’s most current SDB visa subclass. The SRF cannot

produce numbers for a settler’s previously held visa subclasses.

Visa Subclass (Code) Criterion

The Visa Subclass (Code) Criterion generates reports which produce numbers of

settlers for all of the visa subclasses recorded in the SDB. A full list of visa subclasses

recorded in the SDB is listed in Table 14.

For more information on how to produce a report by Visa Subclass, please see the Visa

Subclass and Migration Stream Tip Sheet.

Years of Education

Years of Education refers to the number of completed years a settler has attended at school

and tertiary institutions (i.e., university or technical/trade colleges) as of the date the visa

application was lodged. This information is obtained from several sources, on both a

mandatory and voluntary basis. Data is valid as at the time of visa lodgement, and does not

include any education that may have been undertaken after the settler arrived in Australia.

One exception to this is if a settler registers for Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP)

tuition. In such cases further updates are made to the Years of Education data via the

AMEP Reporting and Management System (ARMS) database as the settler undertakes

AMEP tuition.

Years of Education Criterion

The Years of Education Criterion generates reports which produce numbers of settlers

for all of the Years of Education (Individual) fields. A full list of the Years of Education

(Individual) fields is listed in Table 15.

Yrs of Education Filter

The Yrs of Education Filter can be used to filter reports by either the Years of

Education Broad Groups or by Years of Education (Individual).

SRF Data Dictionary


Using this filter allows for one or more of the Years of Education Broad Groups and

Years of Education (Individual) fields to be selected and reported on. Selection of the

Years of Education Broad Groups will produce numbers of settlers for each of the

associated Years of Education (Individual). Selection of Years of Education (Individual)

fields will produce numbers of settlers for each selected field. A full list of Years of

Education fields is listed in Table 15.
