This series comprises applications for assisted passage to Australia under the United Kingdom and Australian Government
agreement. The form of application is completed by the applicant in the United Kingdom and returned to the Chief Migration
Officer, London. A medical examination is then arranged, and if satisfactory, the applicant is interviewed and a
recommendation is made as to the applicant’s suitability as a migrant. Documents for successful applicants are forwarded
to the Immigration Department office in the state in which the migrant intends to reside at their time of departure.

On form L.E.M. 2 the applicant is required to show: full name, postal address, nearest railway station, date and place
of birth (if not born in the United Kingdom), date of arrival, nationality, marital status, height, weight, accompanying
dependants, name and address of next of kin, full particulars of civilian employment, proposed occupation, financial
position, and a series of questions regarding proposed accommodation and travel.

Each migrant’s application documents contain a selection of forms which vary from item to item. However, all applicants 
have at least a 2 page double sided form which has four main sections – personal and service particulars documenting the
personal particulars of the migrant and any dependants and their military service history if applicable; civilian 
employment history; migrant’s declaration and certification and approval by the Ministry of Labour and National Service.

All applications also include form K – Medical Examination form which sets out the applicant’s medical history and 
approval by the Chief Migration Officer, Australia House.

The records are arranged in chronological order by vessel with the migrant selection documents for the voyage arranged in
alphabetical order. The nominal roll for each vessel which lists the migrants on the voyage have been placed in s single 
folder at the start of each voyage.

All records in this series have been listed on Record Search.
