Malta diaspora in Australia

People from Malta in Australia meet here, city by city. Each community is a neighbourhood, not a crowd, so if yours is missing, start it.

Communities by city

How many people from Malta live in Australia?

According to the United Nations, 34,500 people from Malta live in Australia.

As a result, Australia hosts the largest community from Malta outside the country.

In total, 42,400 people from Malta live abroad, and about 81% of them live in Australia.

However, the figure counts migrants, not their children born here. The real community is therefore larger.

Where to meet people from Malta in Australia

No community for people from Malta exists in Australia on Compatri yet. However, one first member is enough to open one in their city.

As soon as a community starts, its meetups show up on the events page, with the date, the venue and the number of attendees.

Compatri follows cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth, and each one can host its community.

Joining the Malta community in Australia

Compatri brings diasporas together where they live. First, you choose the community of your city. Then you discover what its members organise: meals, parties, afterworks or mutual aid. Finally, you message compatriots who share your interests.

You can also host your own meetup: a meal, an outing or a party. It then appears to members of your city, and you follow sign-ups from your account.

Your exact location never appears: other members only see an approximate area. In addition, joining a community and attending events costs nothing.

Malta Independence Day in Australia

Every September 21, the national day brings the Malta diaspora together. Locally too, communities organise concerts, meals and gatherings.
