Among these people born abroad, the number of Indians has increased the most. India has overtaken China and New Zealand and is now number three after Australia and England.

About half of Australia's population (48.6%) is such that at least one of the parents was born abroad. More than 10 lakh (1,020,007) immigrants have settled in the country since the 2017 census. Most of the foreigners have come from India. Their number has increased by 2,17,963 people. The second-highest increase is for people of Nepalese origin, which is more than double (123.7 percent). Since 2016, 67,752 more people have arrived in Australia from Nepal.

For the first time, less than half of Australian citizens (44%) describe themselves as Christians. In 2016, this number was 50%. Whereas 50 years ago in Australia 90% were Christians.
