In many parts of regional Australia, internal migration is an important aspect of population change. Policy makers, especially in local government, should appreciate the complexity of migration patterns and the underlying factors. The purpose of this thesis is to develop mathematical models that describe internal migration in Victoria. Special attention is paid to the cities of Bendigo and Warrnarnbool. Earlier quantitative models for internal migration in Australia tended to have a national perspective. These contributed to a broad view of internal migration, especially interstate migration. They are not particularly helpful at a regional level. There is a need for more localised models of internal migration. The task of developing such models poses statistical problems. How do we define geographic regions that are appropriate for the model and the sources of data? How do we deal with very small migration flows (even zero flows) between regions? How should the model be specified in light of the previous questions? This thesis is a contribution to the study of models of internal migration in the context of regional Victoria, and addresses these statistical problems.
