As the third-largest migrant group of Australia, Indians are on track to soon become the largest foreign diaspora in the country, overtaking Chinese and British immigrants. This prediction is supported by recent statistics – which demonstrate that 33,611 Indian citizens became permanent residents (PR) of Australia in 2019, making India the largest source of immigrants to Australia last year.

Under the annual permanent immigration program, Indians received the most number of Australia PR visa. For context; Australia’s skilled visas, family sponsored visas, special ability visas, and Child visas had a combined intake limit of only 160,000 places for 2019-20.

Between 2006 and 2016, the Indian-born population of Australia has expanded at an average rate of 10.7% per year. As per the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the median income of skilled immigrants from India was $56,539 in 2016-17, which is more than that of Nepalese, Korean or Chinese skilled immigrants.
