The number of migrants from India for the 12 months ending June this year shot up to 11,286, a jump of 20 per cent over the previous financial year, according to Australias Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs. In fact, India overtook China to become the third largest source of immigrants to Australia in all, after Britain and New Zealand.
Doctors and other health-care professionals are also making the move to Australia as Indias reputation for producing a talented workforce continues to grow. Australias biggest sources of migrants, because of their historical colonial ties, remained Great Britain and New Zealand. Overall, 131,593 migrants arrived on Australian shores last year up seven per cent over the previous year. While the number of migrants from India grew, those from China fell from 11,095 to 10,581.
