This webpage comprises a compilation of links to profiles on more than 160 immigrant and refugee communities in Australia available on various Australian (and some international) websites. Information provided by each profile varies and is briefly described in the Contents of site column.  Content may include demographic information about the communities in Australia, cultural information such as religious beliefs and traditional practices, mental health information where available, and historical and economic background in the home country.

Some communities have more than one link.  The Victorian Transcultural Psychiatry Unit takes no responsibility for the quality and accuracy of the information on the linked websites.  Suggestions for additions to this webpage are welcomed vtpu@svhm.org.au.  

Note: Fact files on almost all overseas countries may be found at The SBS World Guide and The Central Intelligence Agency World Fact Book. These sites do not provide cultural background or mental health information, but each has a drop-down list for the majority of countries in the world with information on geography, religion, language, history, government, international relations, economy, education and welfare.

Information for this webpage was researched and compiled by Azra Alimanovic, Psychology Student, Graduate Diploma in Psychology, Monash University, 2007, assisted by contributions from VTPU staff.
