A message from the Minister and

Parliamentary Secretary

Australia has, through migration, developed into one of the world’s most culturally diverse societies. As a nation, we now speak over 300 languages, practice more than 100 religions and originate from over 230 different countries. This increased diversity has brought with it many new recreational and cultural experiences, and has undoubtedly made Australia a more vibrant and interesting place to live.

The effect of migration on other aspects of Australian society has been equally dramatic, with the hard work and initiative shown by migrants contributing enormously to our national prosperity, social well-being and business achievements.

The fact that all these changes have occurred in a peaceful, democratic manner and over a relatively short time is a testament to our inclusive and cohesive society.

A diverse society founded on migration does bring with it a range of ever-changing issues and challenges however. These include identifying the emerging migrant groups that are most in need of English language services and measuring the extent of ageing among established migrant groups. Responding to these challenges requires a thorough understanding of our cultural diversity, which is what makes a publication like The People of Australia so important.

For example, The People of Australia and its companion State and Territory publications contain informative summaries on the following relevant issues –

• the settlement locations for different migrant groups; • emerging birthplaces, languages and religions for each State and Territory; • the demographic characteristics of Australia’s poor English speakers; and • Internet access, citizenship rates, and employment outcomes for different migrant groups.

They also give very detailed statistical information on the birthplace, religions, language and ancestries for every Local Government Area in Australia.

It is this depth and breadth of information that makes these publications such a useful resource for policymakers, local councils, planners, or anyone with an interest in our increasingly diverse society.

The People of Australia Page iii

The People of Australia is a major compilation of statistics on birthplace, language, religion and ancestry

from the 2006 Census of Population and Housing. This publication has gone to considerable lengths to

create a data source which is unique, accurate, detailed and comprehensive. Some of the features of this

publication include:

Age-gender profiles for the most common birthplace, language and ancestry groups in Australia

showing the diverse structure of our population.

Detailed ancestry data by birthplace of parents, giving a clearer picture of the extent of our migrant

communities.

English language competency by age, presenting the differing levels of English language

competency amongst different language and age groups.

This publication presents data in four main areas: birthplace, language, religion and ancestry. Along with a

table showing all categories in each area, further information is presented such as age profiles, English

language proficiency and birthplace of religious groups. This is presented as a series of tables and graphics

including:

A full listing of birthplace, language, religion and ancestry data from the 2006 Census with

comparisons to 2001 where appropriate.

Graphics on the residential patterns of the major birthplace groups.

Special cross-tabulations of language with birthplace, religion with birthplace and ancestry with

birthplace of parents which reveal richer information on the make-up of the ethnic and religious

communities in the State.

Data on English language proficiency by age.

Age-sex histograms on major birthplace, language and ancestry groups.

Page iv The People of Australia

The figures in this publication are based on data from the 2006, 2001 and 1996 Census of Population and

Housing conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), and are based on usual resident counts, ie

counts of where people usually lived at the time of the Census.

Introduced Random Error

Data released by the ABS is subject to randomisation of small cells to maintain confidentiality of

respondents. The following selected text is taken from the ABS 2006 Census Dictionary (further details

as to how and when the introduced random error is used can be found in the glossary of ABS 2006

Census Dictionary Cat 2901.0):

Individual Census records are confidential. Before Census data are released, small random adjustments are

made to allow the maximum amount of detailed Census data possible to be released without breaching

confidentiality. Consequently, care should be taken when interpreting cells with small numbers, since

randomisation, as well as possible respondent and processing errors, have a greater impact on small cells

than on larger cells.

(Source: ABS 2006 Census Dictionary Cat 2901.0, pp17)

The effect of this randomisation is that there are small discrepancies in totals throughout the publication.

For example, the total number of Australian born people in Australia in table 3 is 1 person more than the

figure shown in table 5. This is because table 5 is derived from a different ABS source which cross-

tabulates birthplace by birthplace of parents, each cell of which is subject to different levels of introduced

random error.

Due to this randomisation of small numbers, it would be misleading to present numbers with a value of less

than 10 in these publications. Therefore such values are suppressed and presented in the tables as “..”. It

should be noted however, that even though these small values are not presented in the table, their values

do contribute to the totals presented for each table.

Birthplace data

In the 2006 Census the ABS coded the response to the birthplace question into 285 categories; these are

based on the Standard Australian Classification of Countries (SACC) 2nd edition. In the 2001 Census there

were 284 categories.

The one major difference between the 2006 and 2001 categories is that the 2001 category of Federal

Republic of Yugoslavia is not used in 2006. Two new categories of Serbia and Montenegro have been

used for the 2006 Census instead.

The People of Australia Page v

In this case 2006 data has been reported for Serbia and Montenegro with no comparable data for 2001.

The 2001 category of Federal Republic of Yugoslavia has been included in the not elsewhere classified

category for 2001. For this reason the 2006 not elsewhere classified category is not comparable to 2001.

Language data

In the 2006 Census, the ABS coded the response to the language question into 430 language categories

based on the Australian Standard Classification of Languages (ASCL) 2nd edition. In both the 2001 and

1996 Census there are 240 language categories based on the ASCL 1st edition.

The major difference between the 1st edition and 2nd edition ASCL is the disaggregation of languages.

Where this has occurred it has been footnoted with reference to the relevant 2001 language classification

that it was previously included in. A selection of classification changes where this has occurred is listed

below:

The 2001 category of Tagalog (Filipino) has been disaggregated into 2006 categories Tagalog and

Filipino.

The 2001 category of Tigrinya has been disaggregated into 2006 categories Tigre and Tigrinya.

The 2001 category Western Austronesian Languages, nec has been disaggregated into 2006

categories Acehnese, Balinese, Bikol, Iban, Ilonggo (Hiligaynon), Javanese, and Pampangan.

Where it is not possible to present the comparable 2001 data “..” along with a footnote is used and the

respective 2001 category is included in the Other Languages n.f.d (not further defined) category. It is for this

reason that the 2006 Other Languages n.f.d. category is not comparable to 2001.

Religion data

In the 2006 Census there are 137 religion categories based on the Australian Standard Classification of

Religious Groups (ASCRG) 2nd Edition. In 2001 Census there were 125 religion categories.

The major differences between the 2001 and 2006 is a disaggregation of religion categories:

The 2001 category Religious Belief, nfd included 2006 categories Church of God, so described and

Australian Christian Churches, so described.

The 2001 category Anglican is not used in 2006. Two new categories have been used in the 2006

Census; Anglican Church of Australia and Anglican Catholic Church.

The 2001 category Catholic, nec included 2006 category Chaldean Catholic.

The 2001 category Oriental Orthodox, nec included 2006 category Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

The 2001 category Religious groups, nec included 2006 category Jainism.

Where 2006 data has been presented alongside 2001 data that has been disaggregated, the abbreviation

n.c. (not comparable) is used.

Page vi The People of Australia

Ancestry

In the 2006 Census there are 275 categories based on Australian Standard Classification of Cultural and

Ethnic Groups (ASCCEG) 2nd Edition. For the 2001 Census there were 191 categories.

As with the language classifications the major difference between the 1st edition and 2nd edition ASCCEG is

the disaggregation of ancestries. Where this has occurred it has been footnoted with reference to the

relevant 2001 language classification that it was previously included in. A selection of classification changes

where this has occurred is listed below:

The 2001 category Polynesian, nec included 2006 categories Hawaiian, Tahitian, Tokelauan and

Tuvaluan.

The 2001 category British, nec included 2006 categories Channel Islander and Manx.

The 2001 category Martime South-East Asian, nec included 2006 categories Acehnese, Balinese,

Bruneian, Kadazan, Singaporean and Temoq.

Additionally, there were several 2001 ancestry categories that have been aggregated up into 2006

categories:

The 2001 categories Wallon, Breton and Western European, nec (incl. Alsatian, Frisian,

Luxembourgish) are not used in 2006. The 2006 category of Eastern European, nec (incl. Alsatian,

Breton, Walloon) was used for the 2006 Census.

The 2001 categories Gurkha, Marathi and Southern Asian, nec (incl. Bhote, Kashmiri, Sherpa) are

not used in 2006. The 2006 category of Southern Asian, nec (incl.Gurkha, Kashmiri, Marathi) is used

for the 2006 Census.

The 2001 categories Fulani and Central and West African, nec (incl. Fang, Kongo, Liberian) are not

used in 2006. The 2006 category of Central and West African, nec (incl. Fang, Fulani, Kongo) is

used for the 2006 Census.

The 2001 categories Namibian and Southern and East African, nec (incl. Afar, Tutsi, Zulu) are not

used in 2006. The 2006 category of Southern and East African, nec (incl. Afar, Namibian, Tutsi) is

used for the 2006 Census.

Where a category name has not changed between 2001 and 2006, but changes have occurred in the

underlying Census classifications, n.c. (not comparable) is used along with a footnote outlining the change.

For both the 2001 and 2006 Census respondents were asked to mark the ancestries they most closely

identified with and to consider their ancestry back as far as three generations. Respondents had the option

of reporting more than one ancestry but only the first two ancestries reported were coded for the Census.

Respondents did not have the option of ranking their answers to the ancestry question, so where a

respondent reports two ancestries, those two ancestries have equal standing.

All ancestry data presented in this publication is based on a count of all responses, therefore double

counting can occur. Where appropriate the proportion of responses as well as the proportion of all persons in

an area is presented along with the counts.
