The Assisted Passage Migration Scheme was created in 1945 by Australia’s first Minister for Immigration, Arthur Calwell, as part of the “Populate or Perish” policy. Its primary purpose was to supply workers for the country’s industries. Adult migrants were charged only ten pounds sterling for the fare. Australia also operated schemes to assist selected migrants from other countries, notably the Netherlands (1951), Italy (1951), Greece (1952), West Germany (1952), and Turkey (1967). This particular scheme ended in 1982.
