The Australia Migration Model (TAMM) is an unofficial public-interest tool. It is designed to make migration trade-offs easier to inspect, not to give personal advice or replace official sources.

The Australia Migration Model (TAMM) was created by Chris Wolski. It is an independent project and is not affiliated with the Australian Government, the Department of Home Affairs, the ABS, Treasury, or any other official source cited on this site.
The project aims to show both sides of the migration argument: the economic and social value migration can create, and the capacity pressure that can emerge when housing, recognition systems, or city infrastructure do not keep pace.
You may use the simulator, charts, glossary, and source links for general information, discussion, research, and commentary. You should treat the model as a simplified policy explainer, not as a forecast or decision engine.
The settings, assumptions, scores, and charts may change as the model improves or as new official data becomes available.
Nothing on this site is migration, legal, financial, tax, investment, housing, or policy advice. The simulator uses public data and simplified assumptions to illustrate trade-offs. It cannot account for individual circumstances, all visa rules, all government programs, or the full macroeconomic effects of migration.
Official figures can be revised, and some model assumptions are deliberately approximate. Always check the original source documents and seek appropriate professional advice before relying on migration, legal, financial, or policy information.
TAMM is mostly a static website. It does not ask you to create an account, make a payment, or provide personal information to use the simulator, charts, glossary, or sources. The simulator runs in your browser.
If you use the contact form, the sender field and message body are transmitted through Cloudflare Pages, checked by Cloudflare Turnstile, and delivered by the configured email provider to [email protected]. Please do not include sensitive personal information in a general feedback message.
The hosting provider may process ordinary technical information such as IP address, browser details, requested pages, timestamps, and security-check data as part of serving and securing the site. If analytics, payments, comments, mailing lists, or accounts are added later, this notice should be updated before those features go live.

The site links to official data, reports, and methodology pages. Those external sites are controlled by their own publishers and may change after being cited here.
