Australia is often referred to as the ‘most successful multicultural country on earth’1 . But what does this really mean? How is this success measured?

Over the past century, one of the most defining trends has been globalization and the increasing migration associated with it.

Multiculturalism has become a defining feature in many of the world’s economies with Canada, the United Kingdom, the United States and South Africa examples of nations that have embraced a strong immigrant receiving tradition. 

Similarly, Australia has a robust tradition as a country built upon migration that continues to this day.

In 2016-17, Australia demonstrated a net overseas migration gain of 262,500 persons, a rise of 27.3 percent compared to 2015-16.
