Australia Society

Australia's diverse society                                              
                                                                                       
Australia has a population full of people from many different cultures and      backgrounds. In fact 45% of Australian's either where born outside of Australia or have a parent who was.                                                    

Due to the rich multi-cultural society there is a wide range of religions practised here which people are free to express their traditions whilst
still obiding by our laws and regulations.                             

This could be hard to take in at first, however take it in, as everyone is different and we like everyone to fit in and have an enjoyable time                  here.                                                                               

Australia has a tradition of  cultural fairness and acceptance. There are laws in place to stop discrimination or grounds of race, gender, age and disablitilies. We will expect new citizens to be loyal to Australia and take on our Democratic ways.                                                                              
 
Australians speak English as our national langauge. However there are over 300 different languages spoken in Australia. You are free to speak your native language, but encourage any new arrivals to learn English as it will help you whilst staying in Australia.

There are many courses running in Australia to help teach English including the Adult Migrant English Program (AMEP) details of which are available later in this piece.
