Nepalese Australians (Nepali: नेपाली अष्ट्रेलियन) are Australias whose ethnic origins lie fully or partially in any part of Nepal.
People from Nepal started to settle in Australia from the 1960s,[2] but the vast majority of Nepali Australians arrived after 2006.
[5] Since 1990, ethnic Nepalis in more than 110,000 in numbers, who were forced out of Bhutan have temporarily settled in refugee camps in eastern part of Nepal.
[6] The number of Nepali students seeking admission to universities in Australia is increasing.
The instability caused by the Maoist insurgency and Gorkha earthquake of 2015, has led Nepali students to turn to Australia for academic pursuits.
