Looking to the Future of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP): Assessment of the Consolidation of the Australian Customs and ... Service (ACBPS) and the DIBP (2016–2017)

This evaluation of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) updates a previous analysis and informs the upcoming transition to an Australian Department of Home Affairs (HA). Interviews with senior leaders and documents dating to 2005 provide the foundation for the findings, which indicate that progress toward integration and reform continues, although unevenly, and provide insights for the future formation of the HA.
