Facts

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.
