South Australia has a long history of migration. Our population has people from approximately 200 different birthplaces, speaking approximately 180 different languages at home who observe more than 95 different religions.

Our migrant population has grown substantially. Since World War II, we have gone from almost 44,000 to around 400,000 South Australians that were born overseas. This is nearly a quarter of South Australia’s total population. And of those 400,000, approximately 270,000 speak a language other than English at home.

As Minister for Multicultural Affairs, I have a long standing relationship with our multicultural communities. I am privileged to not only be the current Minister in the Malinauskas Labor Government, but also in the Weatherill Government from 2014-2018.

Alongside Premier Peter Malinauskas and the rest of our Labor team, I will continue to work and provide support to keep South Australia as a welcoming place for our migrants.
