GILLILANDS TO AUSTRALIA 
UNDER THE 
ASSISTED PASSAGE MIGRATION SCHEME

Kate’s notes: This list was compiled from records gleaned from the National Archives of Australia. The immigrants listed below sailed to Australia under the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme, a post-WWII program designed to boost the workforce with (primarily) British families. Other immigration records for Australia will be the subject for future documentation.
