AUSTRALIA & SYRIA
Syrian immigration to Australia began in the 1870s, a few individuals and small groups arrived in Australia. The easing of immigration restrictions in the 1960s resulted in a steady flow of migration from Syria to Australia,
mainly under the Family component of the Migration Program.
The 2016 Census recorded 15,321 Syria-born people in Australia. New South Wales had the largest number with 9,291 followed by Victoria (3,851), South Australia (806) and Western Australia (606).
