In this report, Deloitte Access Economics seeks to expand on the public information on SIV by analysing the reasons that SIV applicants choose to come to Australia, the level of competition that exists internationally to compete for HNW individuals, the factors that influence the ability for SIV applicants to live and invest in Australia, and the level of social and economic benefits that SIV applicants have made in Australia to date.

This analysis is supported by a pool of qualitative and quantitative evidence, including: public data on the SIV application process and the number of SIV applications approved to date; government reviews internationally to assess the impacts that HNW individuals provide through citizenship/residency investment programs; and survey and interview evidence collected on the benefits of SIV investment, the business and social activities that SIV applicants engage in in Australia, and the journey of a SIV investor.
