Net migration loss to Australia in 2021 – Media release
12 July 2022
There was a provisional net migration loss of 5,800 people from New Zealand to Australia in 2021, Stats NZ said today.
This compares with a net migration gain of 7,300 people from Australia in 2020. These estimates use data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), which is currently available up to December 2021.
COVID-19 related border and travel restrictions, introduced in March 2020, affected international travel and migration patterns between Australia and New Zealand. This contributed to a period of net migration gains from Australia in 2020, which was a reversal from the historical pattern of net migration losses.
