About
This FACT indicates the number of people born in Greece and living in Australia. In the middle of the 20th century, thousands of Greeks immigrated into Australia as part of the Australian Government’s “Populate or Perish” incentive. Most Greek immigrants settled in Melbourne, Adelaide and Sydney as they seemed like the best places to find work. During this time, the Greeks influenced a large cultural change in Australian cities with the introduction of Greek cuisine and community clubs in each city.
