Czech Australians

Czech Australians are Australian citizens of Czech ancestry. Most Czech immigrants to Australia came after World War II and 1968–1969. Most recently the biggest influx is of students coming to Australia to study English and to find work. Many of them are deciding to stay by gaining permanent residency. According to 2016 census figures, around 24,500 Australians identify as having Czech ancestry, mostly in Melbourne and Sydney. In the 1960s and 1970s, two of the most successful Australian soccer clubs were Slavia Melbourne and Sydney FC Prague.
