Non European immigration to Australia has rapidly developed the diversity of Australian society since the removal of the white Australia policy by the 1970s. The evidence lies in the multicultural values and ethics surrounding every facet of society, including politics, employment and education. Non-European immigration has had an extremely positive impact on the dynamics of society and international relations, through the introduction of cultural influences and skills to the professional sectors of society. The changing attitudes towards non-European immigration is evident through the numerous policy developments regarding citizenship and temporary immigration to Australia from countries such as China, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Vietnam and African

The immigration of these individuals has enabled Australia to receive new skills and relations with other nations, particularly throughout the Asia-Pacific region, and create significant economic growth through the newly acquired demands for goods and services. During the 1950s, the immigration of Non-European citizens, had contributed to the growth issue focused on by politicians, for the sustainable population growth of Australia. In 1956, the Australian government enabled non-European immigrants to apply for Australian citizenship, which eventually led to the abolishment of the mandatory dictation test originally implemented under the white Australia policy in 1958.

The large intake of non-European immigrants, has led to dilemmas for public policy, with regards to social services, incorporation of newcomers into society and the potential consequences for Australian culture and national identity. Originally, political planners had attempted to implement a policy of assimilation for non-European immigrants, through the use of interventionist strategies such as providing accommodation, orientation courses and employment opportunities for these immigrants. Although this approach has failed due to residential segregation and relative separation throughout society, evident in densely populated areas particularly throughout Sydney and Melbourne. This has led to a significant problem surrounding racism, and the incorporation of non-European cultures into society. Policy makers have attempted to eliminate the issue surrounding the social stigma around non-European cultures, including individuals deriving from Asian, African or Middle Eastern decent, although the problems appears to be escalating as population growth rapidly increases. This rapid population growth also proves troublesome for both environmental politics and issues surrounding the urban sprawl of city areas. Over rapid population growth, has contributed to the
