Mr Rudd
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs, in writing, on 22 June 2006:
In respect of the department’s provision of Medical Treatment Visas, will the Minister provide the average period of time successful applicants spent in Australia in (a) 1996, (b) 1997, (c) 1998, (d) 1999, (e) 2000, (f) 2001, (g) 2002, (h) 2003, (i) 2004, (j) 2005 and (k) 2006.
Mr Ruddock (Attorney-General)
—The Minister for Immigration and Multicultural Affairs has provided the following answer to the honourable member’s question:
Data on the average period of time Medical Treatment Visa holders actually spend in Australia are not available. However the table at Appendix A shows the average length of Medical Treatment Visas.
APPENDIX A
Average length of Medical Treatment Visas for the years 1996-2006 (inclusive).
Total Number of Visa Grants & The Average Allowable Stay Days* For Visa Subclass 675 and 685
Period: 1 July 2003 to 30 June 2006
Source: Data Warehouse - Visa_ods as at 24 July 2006
Reference No.: T8789
*Stay days based on ‘Visa Stay Days’ in the visa grant record. This is a record of grant information only; it does not guarantee that the client eventually arrived onshore and does not take into account any visa extensions or other activity onshore.
