Citizenship (the department). The report has been provided to assist education providers, representative bodies and policymakers. It is expected that this report will be further developed over time to increase and improve information sharing about the student visa program. It is important to note that the information used in this report comes from a new data source. Consequently, figures for previous financial years have been revised and may differ slightly from those previously published by the department. Data is sourced from several departmental visa processing and recording systems. Data can be dynamic and there can be delays in transmission of information from the department's global operations. Variations in figures between this report and previous issues can occur. Due to these issues, the current financial year should always be considered provisional. Further data about the student visa program, including student visa grants by sector and country from 2002-03 to the latest complete program year is available at the department's website at www.immi.gov.au/media/statistics/study. This report is available at www.immi.gov.au/media/statistics/study and will be updated on a quarterly basis.
