The net migration loss for 2023 was made up of 44,500 migrant departures across the ditch and 17,500 arrivals from Australia.
"However, it should be noted that this is below the record loss of 43,700 in the March 2012 year," Islam said.
He also said that "traditionally", New Zealand has seen net migration loss to Australia, averaging around 30,000 a year during 2004–2013 and 3,000 a year during 2014–2019.
"The annual record for migrant departures to Australia was 62,800 in the June 2012 year," Islam said.
According to the data, Kiwis heading to Australia were the "main driver" of trans-Tasman migration in 2023, “reflecting a long-standing historical pattern".
Last year, people with New Zealand passports made up 84% of the departures to Australia. They also made up 61% of those arriving from Australia.
NZ citizens leaving
===============
For the year ended May 2024, New Zealand's net migration figure was 82,800.
There was net gain of nearly 143,000 non-NZ citizens.
There was a net migration loss of 60,100 NZ citizens - with 85,600 departing and 25,500 returning.
That departure of NZ citizens was a new record, as was the net migration loss, Stats NZ said.
International departures 'highest on record'
===================================
Looking at migration in general, Stats NZ said New Zealand saw 138,600 migrant departures in the May 2024 year, which is provisionally "the highest on record for any annual period".
Migrant arrivals were 221,400.
For migrant arrivals in May 2024, the largest group were citizens of India at 46,400. This was followed by citizens of the Philippines (28,600), New Zealand (25,500), China (23,500), Fiji (9800), South Africa (7000), Sri Lanka (6600), and the United Kingdom (6300).
For departures, the largest group was New Zealand citizens with 85,600 leaving. This was followed by citizens from China (7900), the UK (5700), Australia (5200), India (4300) and the United States (3500).

Feeling sluggish in the mornings or noticing increased discomfort in your back?
It might not just be your alarm clock—it could be time to assess if your mattress is still providing the support you need.
Let's explore the signs that suggest it's time for a new mattress, ensuring your nights are as restorative as they should be.
Health Check: Are You Waking Up Sore?
It’s not normal to wake up feeling like you’ve run a marathon (unless you actually have!). If your mattress is getting older, you might notice more back pain or general discomfort.
Investing in a new mattress can significantly improve your sleep quality and overall health.
Remember, your mattress should be your sanctuary, not a source of discomfort.
If you find yourself tossing and turning, trying to find a comfortable spot, it's a clear sign your body is asking for something new.
Spot the Signs: Physical Indicators Your Mattress Needs Replacing
Take a close look at your mattress:
Does it sag in the middle where you sleep?
Can you feel springs or bumps that weren't there before?
These are signs that your mattress is wearing out.
Over time, mattresses lose their shape and the materials inside break down, failing to provide adequate support.
Don’t compromise on comfort; a new mattress can revitalize your sleep experience. Isn’t that a wonderful reason to consider an upgrade?
How Long Has It Been? Understanding Mattress Lifespan
Every mattress has an expiration date, although it’s not printed on the tag.
Depending on the type—memory foam, innerspring, or others—they generally last 7 to 10 years.
Factors like mattress quality and maintenance affect lifespan.
Think about how long you've had your current mattress.
Is it nearing a decade?
If so, it might be time to start looking for a replacement.
What to Do Next: Choosing and Maintaining Your New Mattress
Selecting a new mattress might seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.
Consider your sleep position, body weight, and comfort preferences.
Explore our Mattress Collection for various options incorporating the latest technology for the best night's sleep.
After choosing, proper maintenance can extend your mattress’s life:
Rotate it regularly
Use a mattress protector
Ensure good ventilation
The Comfort of a Fresh Mattress
Now that you understand the signs and tips for choosing wisely, why wait?
A new mattress is an investment in your health and well-being, not just an upgrade for your bedroom.
Explore our selection at Beds4U for high-quality, supportive mattresses that promise to transform your sleep—and your waking hours.
Say goodbye to sleepless nights and hello to mornings when you wake up refreshed and ready to conquer the day.
Your body—and your future self—will thank you for this smart, comforting choice!
