Multicultural society
Australia’s citizens come from nearly 200 countries, making it
one of most multicultural societies in the world.
Australia is a warm, welcoming country accepting of people of
different nationalities. Around a quarter of Australia’s people
were born in another country. Fifteen per cent of Australians speak
a language other than English at home.
Whatever your nationality or religion, you’ll fit into today’s
Australia. There are churches, temples and mosques, cultural
support groups, associations, clubs and restaurants by the
thousands. You could dine out and enjoy a different cultural
cuisine every night.
Australia has equal opportunity for all people. It is against
the law to discriminate on the grounds of race, culture, religion
or gender.
