Are there problems with ethnic, race/racial minorities or religious prejudices? Gender equality?
I have not run into any. Although, I live in a predominantly Jewish area which I understand has seen some violent attacks in the last several years. - Sep 2026
Not to speak of. Gender equality is pretty good as western countries go. Out in the rural areas there’s still quite an old-boy lifestyle but in the city, everyone is considered equal. Australians seem to be a little prejudiced towards Asians, maybe due to a marked rise in the number of immigrants from China in the past couple of decades. - Jul 2018
It's a very multicultural society with many Asians (esp Chinese) living here. There are some issues but most people are accepting of it and thing it's positive. Gender equality is an issue in Australia but expats probably won't notice it. Domestic violence rates are very high here. - Jul 2017
