new Australians
Freshly settled migrants
New Australians is a term for recent immigrants to Australia, particularly those from non-English-speaking backgrounds.
The phrase emerged after World War II when Australia actively recruited European migrants.
It carries a welcoming connotation—framing newcomers as already belonging rather than as outsiders: The community center offers English classes for new Australians.
