Fairfields Lawyers Melbourne with Australia Gateway commemorates Australia Day

Australia Day is an official public holiday acknowledged throughout every State and territory in Australia. It is a leading annual civic event in Australia, featuring community festivals, concerts and citizenship ceremonies and is celebrated in large and small communities and cities around the nation. 

To Sri Lankan Australians, the day is of special significance given they form the 12th largest ethnic group in Australia. Apart from constituting one of the largest groups of overseas Sri Lankan communities, Sri Lankan Australians also remain the Oceanic continent’s largest Diaspora Sri Lankan community.

At present, Australia is home to over 150,000 Sri Lankans who continue to greatly benefit from the country’s myriad opportunities for superior healthcare, wealth creation, and success in both business and education. Preferred by most Sri Lankans as the ideal country to reside and study in, Australia has become the second home to hundreds of thousands of students for the world-class education and opportunities students are availed to there, on completion of their degrees.

With the advent of the 491 visa subclass, Sri Lankan workers and their families, as well as students can come into designated regions of Australia on a wider occupation list, with many opportunities but the stumbling block for many professionals and students looking to migrate has been a lack of accurate information.
