 At the Department of Immigration and Citizenship our purpose is to build Australia's future through the well-managed movement and settlement of people. Together the department's 8,000 staff deliver a diverse range of services through a network of offices in each state and territory of Australia and in 60 locations around the world. People are central to our work. In a single year we grant more than 4 million permanent and temporary visas to people travelling to Australia. We approve citizenship for more than 100,000 new Australians. We secure Australia's borders by facilitating the arrival and departure of 30 million people. We settle more than 13,000 people in humanitarian need and we provide information to more than 2 million people through phone calls to our service centres. Here at the Department of Immigration and Citizenship people are our business.
