Abstract

In this chapter we combine the research data from all four case studies to consider the processes that facilitate or hinder temporary migration into Australia and the capacity to stay. The chapter will provide rich qualitative data on the impact of Australian immigration policies on mobile populations and the roles played by a range of actors and by systemic factors that translate, facilitate or impede the operation of these policies. Processes that mediate mobility are discussed initially in relation to each of the case studies, and then common themes and contrasts across the case studies are drawn out in the conclusion.
