The Building a New Life in Australia (BNLA) Dataset: A Longitudinal Study of Humanitarian Migrants in Australia

Abstract

This article presents an introduction to the Building a New Life in Australia (BNLA) dataset, a large-scale longitudinal study of humanitarian migrants in Australia. We outline the main characteristics of the study and provide an overview of the measures available and potential uses. The first three waves of the BNLA data are currently available to approved users, covering the first three years of the settlement journey of a recent cohort of humanitarian migrants in Australia.
