Greek Australians comprise
Australian citizens who have full or partial
Greek heritage or people who emigrated from
Greece and reside in
Australia. The 2011 census recorded 378,270 people of Greek ancestry, and 99,939 born in
Greece, making Australia home to one of the largest
Greek communities in the world. Greeks are the seventh largest ethnic group in Australia, after those who declared their ancestry simply as "Australian". In the 2006 census, 365,147 people reported to have Greek ancestry, either exclusively or in combination with another ethnic group. Also, the 2006 census recorded 125,849 people born in Greece and 21,149 born in
Cyprus (many of whom are
Greek Cypriots).
