About: Scandinavian Australians

Scandinavian Australians (Swedish: skandinaviska australiensare, Danish: skandinaviske australiere, Finnish: skandinaaviset australialaiset, Norwegian: skandinaviske australiere, Icelandic: Skandinavískir Ástralar) are Australian citizens whose origins are found in any of the Nordic countries, or people from any of these countries who live in Australia. Danish immigrants made up the largest group by far. Although Finland is significantly different culturally from other Scandinavian countries and as such is not usually counted among them, it is still counted as one in the Australian censuses for the sake of statistics.
