Summary

The MY Australia Census conducted in 2017 is the first national study of young people from migrant and refugee backgrounds. It aimed to find out more about Australia's multicultural young people, aged 15 to 25 years old, what they value, and their vision for the future. MY Australia is a research collaboration between University of Melbourne and eight community organisations and government agencies around Australia. The research is funded by the Australian Research Council (LP150100219 2016-2018).
