Recently, smaller groups of Turks have begun to immigrate to Australia from Bulgaria, Greece, Iraq and North Macedonia.

[5] Prior to 1940, the Australian Census recorded only three settlers from Cyprus that spoke Turkish as their primary language.

[6] After a failed attempt by the Greek Cypriots, the right-wing party, EOKA, reformed itself from 1963 to 1974 and launched a series of attacks in a bid to proclaim "enosis".

These atrocities resulted in the exodus of Turkish Cypriots in fear for their lives, many migrating to Australia and Britain.

[6] Early Turkish Cypriot immigrants found jobs working in factories, out in the fields, or building national infrastructure.

[7] Once the Greek military junta rose to power in 1967, they staged a coup d'état in 1974 against the Cypriot President, with the help of EOKA B, to unite the island of Cyprus with Greece.

[8][better source needed] Thus, there was an exodus of more Turkish Cypriots to Australia due to fears that the island would unite with Greece.

In addition, 87,164 people born in Australia claimed Turkish ancestry, making up 0.3% of the country's population.

[24] More recently, in 2016, Dr Levent Vahdettin et al. said that the total Turkish Cypriot Australian community was 120,000 - including descendants.

In Melbourne they reside largely in the northern suburbs of Broadmeadows, Dallas, Roxburgh Park and Meadow Heights.

[30] More generally, notions of family loyalty, the social organisation of marriage and traditional segregation of gender roles have shaped the youths' identities in Australia.

[43] The Australian Voice of Turkey currently broadcasts 7 days a week through the digital station 2TripleO which is based in Burwood in Sydney.

The Australian satellite service provider UBI World TV claims to reach 40,000 Turkish speakers.

[44] Furthermore, BRT, the official radio and television broadcasting corporation of Northern Cyprus, claims to reach 60,000 Turkish Cypriot Australians.
