Hi Does anyone know what information one is likely to receive from NSW Archives on an Assisted Immigrant. Thanks and regards Raewyn
There is quite a bit of info at the Archives on Assisted immigrants . Have you had a look at their website. www.nsw.gov.au hope you find what you are looking for.

Hello Raewyn Either from NSW State Records (formerly Archives Authority of NSW) or from the Genealogical Research Kit which has been distributed to a number of regional libraries throughout NSW you will be able to access the Immigration Deposit Journals 1853-1900 (Immigrants Index) and (Depositors Index), the Immigration Board's Lists 1848-1891and the Agents Lists 1838-1896. They give fairly similar information. The Immigration Deposit Journals are on microfilm Reels 2668A-2676. The period between 1866 and 1874 is missing. They show the deposit paid by persons wishing to sponsor the immigration of a nominated person or group of persons, the depositor and the immigrant. The Immigration Board's Lists are on microfilm Reels 2458-2498 with the period 1860-1862 missing. They show name, status and age, occupation, native place and county, the names of the immigrant's parents and their address if alive, religion, read/write, the relations of the immigrant already living in the colony, state of health, remarks. The Agent's Lists are on microfilm Reels 2134-2143 and cover the period 1838-1896. They show name, status and age, occupation, native place and county, religion, read/write, remarks. You can also just go on their website - type in assisted immigration and see what you come up with. Good luck!
