Australia has the second highest proportion of migrants as a percentage of population. With over 20 million people, 40% are migrants, or children of migrants.
Our migrants have come in waves - in the 50s and 60s Italians and Greeks, in the 70s this continued, with the starting of Indian and Chinese migration, and Vietnamese migration. In the last 20 years, Asian migration continues, with Indian migrants now supplanting Kiwi and Brit migrants (traditionally the largest groups) to become the largest migrant intake in Victoria, Australia.
Other significant migrant groups in the last twenty years include Middle Eastern groups, and Horn of Africa community groups in the last 10 years.
