Australia has one of the world’s most diverse populations, yet a century ago, the 1901 Immigration Restriction Act controlled non-white—particularly Asian—immigration to Australia. The small number of Indians present in the 1800s increased in the 1860s towards agricultural labour, hawkers servicing Australia’s country towns, or work in the gold fields1. The growth of the Indian diaspora coincides with the passing of the Racial Discrimination Act 1975 that dismantled the White Australia policy. Race as a criterion for migrant selection shifted to focus on skills and talent, and the trickle of Indian migration increased significantly in the 1970s, leading to a deluge in the 2000s. The Indian diaspora is now a dynamic minority group in Australia. Of people born in an Asian country, people of Indian-heritage background are among the fastest-growing ethnic groups (3%) in the country (ABS, 2016). Whereas previously the United Kingdom and Europe dominated overseas-born Australians, China, and India (pre-COVID-19) dominate the overseas-born migrant population. Since 2016, India has become the largest source country of skilled migrants to Australiaii. The composition of the diaspora has changed with international students and skilled migrants. Younger in age and English proficient, they have adjusted more briskly than their forefathers. This chapter traces the trends of Indian skilled migration amidst the changing Indian economy and Australia’s selective evolving immigration programmes. Using quantitative and qualitative data, it provides insights into their socio-economic, professional, and entrepreneurial contributions in key economic sectors through their experiences in the settlement phase including negotiating their unique identities.
