Brazilian Australians (Portuguese: Brasileiro-Australiano) refers to Australian citizens of Brazilian birth or descent.

According to the 2021 Census, 46,720 people in Australian were born in Brazil while 24,377 claimed Brazilian ancestry.^[3]

According to the Brazilian consulate, almost 60,000 Brazilians are living in Australia as of 2020 (making around 0.25% of the country's population).^{[citation needed]}

Brazilian immigration

Although Brazilian migration in the eighteenth and nineteenth and centuries has not been documented, there is evidence of early Brazilian interest in Australia. However, concrete evidence of a Brazilian presence in Australia does not appear until the turn of the twentieth century, when census officials in 1901 counted 105 Brazilian-born in Australia.^[4]

Two waves of immigration

The first Brazilian migrants began arriving in Australia in the mid-1970s. They were attracted to Australia by an Australian government assistance scheme. The second wave of migration began in the late 1990s and continues today. It is widely attributed to growing socio-economic power within Brazil since the 1980s and Brazilians’ strong desire to learn English. Australia is becoming an appealing destination to learn English after the United States and England.

There has also been an influx of Brazilian students who have come to attend Australian universities. These students come independent of their families on study visas, and usually go home after completion of their studies.^[5] Brazilians have become the largest source of international student enrollments in Australia outside of Asia.^[6] ^{[verification needed]}

Demographics and statistics

According to the 2021 Census conducted by the Australian Board of Statistics, there were approximately 51,000 people living in Australia who identified as being of Brazilian origin. This was a +200% growth from 2011.^{[citation needed]}

Brazil is a country home to various ethnic groups, but the largest ancestries reported in the 2021 census aside from the general 'Brazilian' response were Italian and Portuguese.^[2]
