History Prior/Subsequent to Transfer:
PTT- This series was introduced following an Immigration Department directive, copy attached, dated 29th April, 1965 advising a change in procedures. 
Prior to the introduction of the new procedures the personal documents transferred to Australia for each person/family were 

(a) Application and Employment form 
(b) Medical & X-Ray report 
(c) Approval letter 
(d) Special Medical Report - if any 
(e) Maintenance Guarantee- if any in the case of minors or one spouse only 
(f) Consent forms. 

From the introduction of the new procedures all documents were transferred to Australia (the receiving State Office). 
The directive also instructed that personal documents should be given a registration number according to the flight or vessel on which the migrants arrived.
