In 2022, Australia's net overseas migration (NOM) arrivals totaled 634.8 thousand people. Over the period between 2011 and 2019, Australia's NOM arrivals had been increasing steadily until travel restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic led to a sharp decrease in arrivals in 2020 and 2021.

For the purposes of Net Overseas Migration (NOM), a person is regarded as a usual resident if they have been (or expect to be) residing in Australia for a period of 12 months or more. These 12 months do not need to be continuous and are measured over a period of 16 months.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) introduced the 12/16 month rule for calculating NOM in September quarter 2006. Consequently, this point marks a break in series and NOM estimates from earlier periods are not directly comparable.
