Immigration to Australia
Australian Immigration
Australia is often referred to as "The Lucky Country."
With its spacious surroundings, high standard of living and excellent
health and education systems, Australia attracts visitors and migrants
from all over the world. Add to that a temperate climate, beautiful
landscape and political and economic stability, Australians really
have a quality of life to be envied.
The appeal of Australia is evident in the large number of people
who migrate under the Department of Immigration and Citizenship
(DIAC) Migration Program every year. In recent years, over 100,000
people have migrated to Australia every year. These people have
helped contribute to Australia's growing multicultural population
and will continue to shape Australia's future.
