History

The census asks about ancestry and the language spoken at home, so the community is visible.

The account

Australia

Iranians came as skilled migrants and as refugees. From 2013, some refugees were held under the offshore detention policy on Nauru and Manus. Most live in Sydney and Melbourne. Persian heritage schools in Sydney have been the subject of research.

This history is being expanded. Each claim gets its citation as it is reviewed.
