The leading country of origin for overseas-born Australians has traditionally been the UK. New data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that migration from the UK is trending downwards. In contrast, the number of Australian residents who were born in India continues to rise. If these trends continue, India, currently second on the list of countries of origin for overseas-born Australians, could overtake Britain as soon as this year. - ਵਿਦੇਸ਼ੀ ਪਿਛੋਕੜ ਵਾਲੇ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਅਨ ਪ੍ਰਵਾਸੀਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਬਰਤਾਨਵੀ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਗਿਣਤੀ ਅੱਜ ਵੀ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਧ ਹੈ ਜਦਕਿ ਇਸ ਮਾਮਲੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਭਾਰਤੀ ਲੋਕ ਦੂਜੇ ਨੰਬਰ 'ਤੇ ਜਾ ਪਹੁੰਚੇ ਹਨ । ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ਯੂਕੇ ਤੋਂ ਆਏ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਆਬਾਦੀ ਦਾ ਗਰਾਫ ਹੇਠਾਂ ਵੱਲ ਆ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਭਾਰਤੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਗਿਣਤੀ ਲਗਾਤਾਰ ਵੱਧਦੀ ਨਜ਼ਰ ਆ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ। ਦਰਅਸਲ, ਬੀਤੇ 10 ਸਾਲਾਂ ਦੇ ਅੰਕੜਿਆਂ ਮੁਤਾਬਿਕ ਹੋਰਨਾਂ ਮੁਲਕਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੈਦਾ ਹੋਏ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਅਨ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦੀ ਆਬਾਦੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਵੱਡਾ ਵਾਧਾ ਭਾਰਤੀ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਵਲੋਂ ਦਰਜ ਕੀਤਾ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਅਜਿਹੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਦਾ ਭਵਿੱਖ ਕਿਸ ਤਰਾਂ ਦਾ ਹੋ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ? ਸੁਣੋ ਇਸ ਰਿਪੋਰਟ ਰਾਹੀਂ...

Australia's population grew by 1.8 per cent in the 12 months to September 2024, adding 484,000 people to the national headcount, according to the latest figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS).  That puts our population at 27.3 million, with overseas migration once again leading the charge—albeit at a slower pace than earlier quarters. While the post-pandemic migration surge has moderated, we're still seeing 618,000 arrivals versus 238,000 departures, giving us a net overseas migration figure of 380,000.  This continues a tapering trend, but still marks a major contributor to the housing pressure being felt across the country. Western Australia led the states in population growth, rising 2.5 per cent. Victoria followed at 2.1 per cent and Queensland at 2.0 per cent. In contrast, Tasmania's population barely grew, increasing just 0.3 per cent over the same period. At the state level, New South Wales added 120,800 residents to reach 8.5 million, while Victoria added 146,700 to reach just over 7 million. Queensland's population climbed to 5.6 million, with 111,900 new residents over the year.  These increases represent real housing demand across all tenures: ownership, rental, and emergency accommodation. But while net overseas migration is slowing, a separate but related shift is gaining traction again: regional migration.  The Regional Australia Institute's (RAI) latest Regional Movers Index revealed that internal migration to regional areas, while slowing compared to the COVID boom, remains a long-term structural trend. The RMI shows a fourfold increase in migration from capital cities to places like Bendigo and Bunbury.  Sydneysiders still account for the bulk of outflows (59 per cent), although that share is falling. Melburnians, on the other hand, are rising—now making up 40 per cent of net capital outflows. Greater Geelong and Bendigo are the clear winners in Victoria. Bendigo, in particular, is surging off the charts, with a 63 per cent quarterly growth in migration and a fourfold increase year-on-year.  It's now second only to Bunbury in WA as the fastest-growing regional centre. And what happens when people move? House prices follow. Bunbury's median house price jumped 28 per cent in 2024—the highest growth of any WA regional centre. Geelong's rise in popularity is also pressuring housing stock and values. What this all signals is that the city-to-regional migration story isn't going away—it's simply evolving. And it's not just young professionals making the shift. According to new research from the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute, older, wealthier Australians are leading the regional migration trend, motivated by lifestyle factors and affordability.  This shift has profound implications—not just for property values but for rental stress in areas traditionally considered affordable. Professor Nicole Gurran from the University of Sydney notes that regional migration creates a “ripple effect”—pushing up rents and home prices not only in high-growth towns but also in outlying areas as low-income earners are displaced. “Increased pressure on housing costs in the regions creates knock-on effects for affordability in neighbouring communities,” Gurran said. “It's especially critical that we ramp up investment in social and emergency housing to offset these shifts.” So what's the bottom line? Australia's housing supply continues to lag population growth. Migration—both international and domestic—remains a powerful driver of housing demand. And while big-city markets get the media spotlight, regional areas are where the most intense growth and pressure are now playing out. Investors, policymakers, and developers should be taking note: this isn't a COVID blip—it's a decade-long demographic realignment. Ignore it at your peril.

Loneliness is a widespread issue across Australia, with studies showing it can have a harmful effect on both mental and physical health. In the outer suburbs of Melbourne, residents are taking action to ensure their communities stay connected. Gaye Martin has come to a cafe on the northern periphery of Melbourne to meet a group of women. At first sight, this looks like a routine gathering over a hot drink. But this women's group has a specific aim: fighting social isolation. And it was created by one very dedicated volunteer. “It's just amazing. I don't even want to get paid for doing it. It's just so nice,” says Craigieburn resident Gaye Martin. Martin had a career in aged care, and she saw firsthand how people in her area were feeling lonely. “When you go there, they're just so excited. Some start crying because they haven't seen anyone for a week,” says Martin. Through social media and word of mouth, Martin advertised her weekly coffee club to help women like her stay socially connected. There isn't much reliable data on loneliness issues in specific locations, but Martin isn't the only one who noticed social isolation in the outer suburbs. Craigieburn Deputy Mayor Naim Kurt says he also comes across the issue while talking to his constituents. “I door knocked something like 6,000 homes (during recent elections), and it was really surprising how many people were coming to us, inviting us into our homes for a coffee, telling us stories about how they lost the partner, how their children weren't seeing them,” says Craigieburn Deputy Mayor Naim Kurt. Craigieburn is one of the many towns that make up the Hume local council, one of the country's fastest-growing and most diverse areas. According to a 2021 Australian Bureau of Statistics report, almost half of its population was born overseas. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Australia is having an “unprecedented” collapse in it's standard of living according to Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor. Fresh figures from the Australian Bureau of Statistics show that core inflation is slightly up which means another rate cut is highly unlikely. Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor told Peter Fegan on 4BC Breakfast, "He's the one who chose to use the Treasury Department, his department, as a dirt unit, wasn't us." "We talk about adding public servants and when you are adding public servants to use them as a dirt unit, I mean, this is a complete misuse of taxpayers' money." Mr. Taylor said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One of the most significant housing stories in the past year has slipped under the radar of news media, with very little commentary.   The latest official data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that it now costs over $500,000 to build the average house in this country. That's the cost of construction of the dwelling and doesn't include the land price.   Given that the price of residential land is also escalating to record price levels, the reality is that the typical house and land package in a capital city is beyond the reach of most young buyers.   This, in simple terms, is the essence of the housing affordability problem that has created a national crisis.   Australia needs to build more homes – a lot more than the industry is currently able to build – but the obscenely high cost of building both houses and apartments is the largest single barrier to achieving it. The latest ABS figures tell a very sad story. They show that the nation, in 2024, fell 70,000 home approvals short of the target set to fix the housing crisis – AND that home building costs have hit a grim new record high. Latest Australian Bureau of Statistics figures show there were 170,719 homes approved in 2024, the second worst annual figure since 2012, with experts warning government efforts to address the housing crisis so far have failed to make a difference. And affordability is getting worse, with the average cost of building a new house in Australia surpassing $500,000 for the first time in December, according to the ABS data, made worse by new requirements for sustainable builds. Making a bad situation considerably worse is the soaring cost of home sites. The Housing Industry Association says that surging land values are problematic for the struggling development sector, which is already battling soaring labour and materials costs.   Extreme housing block costs have also coincided with falling prices for established houses – making the significant premium on brand new homes a hard sell for builders.   Housing Industry Association figures showed the median price of land across Greater Sydney now stands at $2,000 per square metre. That means that even a tiny 300 square metre block of land costs $600,000.    Land prices are less – but still very expensive – in Melbourne, where that small block costs $320,000, and it's similar in both Perth and Brisbane.   But that 300 square metre block is below the normal block size. In Sydney the median lot price is $710,000 compared to around $400,000 in both Melbourne and Brisbane.   Add on that typical cost for building a home – and it makes a new house on land over $900,000 in Brisbane and Melbourne – and around $1.2 million in Sydney. Housing Industry Association economist Maurice Tapang said the dramatic extra costs of buying land and building, versus buying established homes, could squash demand for new homes. Tapang said the price of land was now the biggest constraint on new housing construction in Australia's capital cities. PropTrack economist Paul Ryan said: “It's becoming increasingly hard to make new housing equations stack up. There's lots of choice for established homes and the prices have gotten relatively more attractive compared to new homes, and that's something we've heard a lot of from developers”. The HIA-CoreLogic Residential Land Report showed that the median price of a capital city lot increased by 9.2% in the September quarter to $408,160 compared to a year earlier. Tapang said: “Land prices have risen three times faster than the rate of growth in the ABS Consumer Price Index (CPI) and five times faster than growth in the cost of home building materials as measured by the Producer Price Index for the September quarter 2024.”   At the same time, the cost of building a house now averages $537,000 nationally, according to the ABS, following the hyperinflation of construction costs since the pandemic. Add those two figures together – the median lot price and the average cost of building a house – and you have $945,160. And that, in one sentence, is the affordability issue. But I haven't heard a single politician in Australia, at any level, suggest a policy to deal with this ridiculously high cost for new homes. And it begs the question: are politicians in government around Australia even aware that the cost of a new house on land is getting scarily close to $1 million?

This week I had the pleasure of interview Nick Mair on the podcast.  I met Nick on LinkedIn and was drawn to his authenticity and vulnerability and openness in sharing his mental health struggles. I often talk about the premise that purpose can be borne from the contrast of our suffering, and Nick is an example of that. Nick is now a mental health first aid trainer and on a mission to help people not only read the signs that someone could be thinking of taking their life, or be suffering anxiety, depression or psychosis, but to have the skills to be able to listen and de-escalate the situation....as he experienced when I spoke to Michael from Lifeline in his darkest hour. I didn't know about mental health first aid training until speaking to Nick and being a former Human Resources Director, I now feel urged to invite those who are in positions of influence to consider having your leaders to be mental health first aid qualified, or at best your entire organisation.   When I think about the ripples of having these skills in the work environment and at home, we can really make an enormous impact. Please reach out to Nick so that we can make a real positive dent together in caring for those around us in a really simple yet powerful way. Here are Nick's details and what he gets up to Core offering:   MHFA, MH awareness presentations, men's retreats, career coaching.

The job market in 2024 remains complex and competitive, especially for experienced professionals. Whether you're in the US or Australia, senior-level roles are becoming harder to land, and even seasoned executives find themselves in uncharted territory.In the US, the labor market has shown signs of slowing growth. While the unemployment rate has remained relatively low, many companies are opting for cautious hiring practices, particularly for higher-level positions. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, sectors such as finance and technology have seen a reduction in the number of open executive roles as organizations focus on cost-saving measures and operational efficiencies.Australia faces similar challenges. Experienced professionals are navigating a job market that is still feeling the effects of recent economic shifts. Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that while job vacancies remain, many organizations are tightening budgets, particularly for senior management and leadership positions. As companies restructure or downsize, professionals with decades of experience are increasingly finding themselves in a crowded job market, vying for fewer opportunities.In this environment, many seasoned professionals are asking, “How do I stand out?” As a career coach specializing in job searching and career advancement for experienced professionals, I've heard this question countless times. Having coached executives, managers, and directors navigating these uncertain times, I've come to understand the specific challenges they face. In my latest podcast episode, I answer the most common and pressing questions from corporate professionals and offer actionable advice to help them regain control of their job search and career trajectory.Read the full Blog on the WebsiteJob Hunting Made SimpleReset Your Career - Fast-Track Your Job Search in One Weekend31 Days of Action for Job SeekersFind Your Talents: Learn About Your Strengths, and Watch Your Career GrowJoin 5,000+ Readers of The Job Hunting Newsletter: Subscribe NowLear More About Renata's career coaching and coursesTimestamps to guide your listening:01:26 Importance of Cognitive Assessments01:58 Returning to the Webinar Questions06:40 Group Coaching Insights10:06 Career Advancement Strategies14:31 Handling Overqualification Feedback17:36 Competing Against Preferred Candidates23:32 Explaining Employment Gaps28:16 Referee Fatigue28:56 The Importance of Educating Referees29:28 Nurturing Relationships with Referees30:07 Handling Early Reference Checks31:27 Requests for Proposals and Presentations31:45 Dealing with Unsuccessful Interviews32:36 The Role of NDAs in Job Applications35:20 Writing Resumes for Bots38:27 The Referral Process for Recruiters41:21 Building Trust in Interviews42:51 Managing Job Hunting Stress46:48 Balancing Job Hunting with Other Commitments50:45 Group Coaching and Final...

Australian Bureau of Statistics testing new census question on sexual orientation for 2026. - オーストラリア統計局が2026年の国勢調査に向けて、新たな性的指向に関する質問をテストすることがわかりました。1週間を振り返る週間ニュースラップです。

Should the 2026 Census ask you if you're gay? That's one of the questions advocacy groups for queer Australians have been grappling with as the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) prepares its next census.  LGBTIQA+ advocacy groups have argued that the government does not collect enough fine-grain data on queer Australians to improve physical and mental health outcomes in the community that are poorer than the general population. On the other hand – could questions about people's sexuality and gender identity risk the safety of people who aren't out to their families?  Seemingly out of nowhere, in recent days advocates have learned that the government will not allow the ABS to include questions about questions about sexuality, sex and gender, which the groups have been arguing for.  On this episode of the Briefing, LGBTIQ+ Health CEO Nicky Bath chats to Bension Siebert about what should and should not be on the Census.

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Filipinos account for 1.2% of Australia's total population, highlighting a growing community. However, as the community expands and Filipino-Australian children increasingly embrace Australian culture, many become disconnected from their heritage and language, often stating that they cannot speak their native tongue. - Ayon sa Australian Bureau of Statistics, ang mga Pilipino ay bumubuo ng 1.2% ng kabuuang populasyon ng Australia, nagpapakita na ito ay isang lumalaking komunidad. Ngunit, habang lumalawak ang komunidad, marami namang mga batang Pilipino ang nawawalan ng koneksyon sa kanilang pinagmulan at kadalasan ay hindi na sila marunong gumamit ng sariling wika.

In 2016, the Australian government launched a program it said would make tracking welfare benefits easier.
