The first
migrants to Australia, the aboriginals, arrived over 50,000 years
ago. Immigration remains the backbone of this great country.
According to the 2011 census, 26% of Australians were born in
another country, with an additional 20% having at least one parent
born overseas. With a healthy economy and high demand for skilled
migrants to add to the labour force, Australian newcomers will
continue to be welcomed to these vast shores.
