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

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.

headings in this dictionary.

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

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.

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 SubRegions 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.

SRF Data Dictionary
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.

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.

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.

L
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.
It should be noted that although efforts are made to keep up to date address information for
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.
More information about the 2011 ASGC as well as correspondence files can be found at:
ABS Geography website

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.
Please see Attachment C for an alphabetical listing of Main Languages.

Marital Status
Marital Status refers to a settler’s personal relationship status. Marital Status information is
collected at time of visa application, however, it will be updated if the settler informs the
Department of Immigration and Border Protection of a change in status The collection of
Marital Status data has a high level of ‘not stated’ or 'unknown' results; therefore,
interpretation of this data should be conducted with care.
Marital Status Criterion
The Marital Status Criterion generates reports which produce numbers of settlers for
all of the Marital Status fields. A full list of the Marital Status fields is located in Table 9.

Metro/Regional (Place of Residence)
Metro/Regional (Place of Residence) refers to the geographical break down of Australia into
Metropolitan and Regional areas.
The geographical areas Statistical Division (SD), Statistical-Sub Division (SSD) and
Statistical Local Area (SLA), defined in the Main Structure of the 2011 Australian Standard
Geographical Classification (ASGC), published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS)
are used to define regional and metropolitan areas. Please see Table 10 for a full listing of
Metro/Regional definitions.
Metro/Regional (place of res) Criterion
The Metro/Regional (place of res) Criterion generates reports which produce numbers
of settlers for both Metropolitan and Regional places of residence.
Metro/Regional Filter
The Metro/Regional Filter can be used to filter reports by either Metropolitan or
Regional. Using this filter allows for the selection of either Metropolitan or Regional
fields. Reports produced will give numbers of settlers for the selected field. Please see
Table 10 for a full list of Metro/Regional definitions.

Migration Stream Criterion
The Migration Stream Criterion generates reports which produce numbers of settlers
for each of the migration streams. A full list of migration streams is included in Table
11.
Migration Stream Filter
The Migration Stream Filter can be used to filter reports by each of the migration
stream fields. Using this filter allows for one or more of the migration stream fields to
be selected and reported on. Reports will generate number of settlers for each
selected field. A full list of migration stream fields is included in Table 11.
Please see Table 13 Visa Subclass to find out which visas are listed under each Migration
Stream.

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.

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.
Place of residence (State, SD, SSD, SLA) Filter
The Place of Residence (State, SD, SSD, SLA) Filter can be used to filter reports by
State, Statistical Division (SD), Statistical Sub-Division (SSD) or Statistical Local Area
(SLA) geographical areas. Using this filter allows for one or more of these
geographical areas to be selected and reported on. Reports will generate number of
settlers for each selected field.
Place of residence (State, LGA) Filter
The Place of Residence (State, LGA) Filter can be used to filter reports by State or
Local Government Area (LGA) geographical areas. Using this filter allows for one or
more of these geographical areas to be selected and reported on. Reports will
generate numbers of settlers for each selected field.

Religion
There are about 140 different religions recorded in the Settlement Database (SDB). For the
Family and Skilled migration streams, the collection of this data commenced in April 1994
and is not mandatory. It has been collected from Humanitarian migration stream entrants
since the start of the 1999–2000 financial year, and is mandatory.
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.
50
Last updated March 2014
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

•
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
rural/regional locations;
dependants of temporary Skilled settlers with low English proficiency living in
rural/regional locations;
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
•

Settlement Visa
Settlement Visa refers to the visa subclasses which are stored in the Settlement Database
(SDB). For a full list of Settlement Visas please see Table 14.
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
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 SLA information can be considered as current and for
many settlers, no SLA is recorded.

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.

Y
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).
64
Last updated March 2014
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.
