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.
About
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. The simulator scores the
measurable economic and capacity channels, not cultural identity or individual visa
outcomes.
Use of the Site
The simulator, charts, glossary, and source links are provided for general information,
discussion, research, and commentary. The model should be treated 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.
Related Projects
TAMM is separate from Chris Wolski's practical trade-migration projects, but they sit in
the same wider interest in skilled migration, trades capacity, and Australia-facing
labour-market questions.

Disclaimer
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.
Privacy
TAMM is a static website. It does not require an account, payment, or
provide personal information to use the simulator, charts, glossary, or sources. The
simulator runs in the visitor's browser.
The contact link opens the visitor's email app. If a message is sent, the sender's email
provider and the project's email-routing provider process that message in the usual way.
Sensitive personal information should not be included in a general feedback email.
The hosting provider may process ordinary technical information such as IP address,
browser details, requested pages, and timestamps as part of serving and securing the site.
If analytics, payments, forms, comments, mailing lists, or accounts are added later, this
notice should be updated before those features go live.
For general information about privacy policies and personal information in Australia, see
