How many Immigrants in Australia from 1850 - 2026

In 1850, Australia was still a young colony with only a small population, but the discovery of gold in 1851 sparked a wave of immigrants from Britain, China, and Europe, turning quiet settlements into booming towns. Immigration slowed during wars and the restrictive “White Australia Policy” of the early 1900s, but after World War II, millions arrived from Italy, Greece, and later Asia, helping build roads, factories, and cities. By the 1980s and 2000s, migrants from China and India became major contributors to Australia’s growing multicultural identity, and by 2026, immigration had become one of the country’s strongest drivers of population growth, with Australia reaching around 28 million people and nearly one-third of residents born overseas—a nation shaped by many waves of newcomers over nearly two centuries.
