Korean-Australians: present and impending contributions to Australia's future - an outsider's perspective

Abstract

The Korean communities in Australia are small, but expanding, communities which are making an increasing contribution to the development and cultural evolution of Australia. However, these achievements are not widely known within the broader Australian community. This paper provides an outsider's brief perspective on the contemporary and potential impending contributions of the Korean-Australian communities to Australia's future. The paper highlights the need for Korean Australians to be more pro-active in advancing the public profile and successes of their communities.
