According to recent data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), there are now about 971,020 Indian-born residents as of June 2025, surpassing the English-born population, which stands at approximately 970,950.<\/p>\n Over the past year, the number of Indian-born residents has risen significantly, growing from 916,330 in the previous year.

The ABS mentioned that the median age of overseas-born residents has changed over time, increasing to 45 years due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, compared to a median age of 35 for those born in Australia.<\/p>\n Globally, Australia ranks eighth for the proportion of foreign-born residents, with the United States leading the way, hosting 52.4 million foreign-born residents, which is about 15% of its total population.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Indian Population Becomes Australia\u2019s Largest Foreign-Born Group In a notable shift, the Indian-born population has become Australia\u2019s largest group of foreign-born residents for the first time in years.
