“This increasingly diverse social and cultural landscape present in the 2021 census is a great strength for Australian society,” Dr Dellal said.“Now more than ever, we need to ensure Australia’s systems and institutions from healthcare, government services, aged care and educational and employment opportunities are representative, can be equitably accessed and can adequately meet the needs of all Australians.
The 2021 Census showed that India had moved past China and New Zealand to become the third-largest country of birth among Australian residents, behind Australia and England. “And it's good to see people widely accepting other festivals, traditions, cultures, religions, and that's what makes Australia great.”Turbans 4 Australia president Amar Singh.
“So just like any other migrant community that grows, that brings some good things with them, but also some issues that come up. But I think that's where integration comes in, and a multicultural society, in general, brings everyone together. So to see the Indian festivals and festivals of all faiths being accepted widely into our norm, it's great to see.
The Australian-Nepali community is “growing really rapidly, and the community is vibrant at the moment,” Mr Satyal said.The Nepalese Society of Tasmania’s Khagendra Satya.Family ties, “quality of life” and education opportunities are major factors motivating Nepali people to move to Australia, Mr Satyal said.
