AUSTRALIA & SLOVENIA
Slovenes began making their way to Australia in the 1920s when the United States of America imposed an immigration quota. Mass migration to Australia commenced after 1948 with political refugees escaping the post-war regime in Yugoslavia, and continued during the 1950s and 1960s.
Resident Australian population born in Slovenia (2016 census) – 5,556
