Guide to using the Settlement Data Base

The Settlement Data Base (SDB) is an internal database developed by the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs (DIMA) to provide statistical data for government and community agencies involved in the planning and provision of migrant settlement services.

Data from the SDB is much more timely than the Census which is only available every 5 years. It is also one of the only other indicators of population change between Censuses apart from births, deaths and marriages data. Learn how to order your own data and graphs online from the SDB by downloading the guide from the link below.
