Mauritian Australians are Australians of Mauritian descent, or who were born in Mauritius.
The Census in 2011 recorded 23 280 Mauritius-born people in Australia, an increase of 28.1 percent from the 2006 Census.
The 2011 distribution by state and territory showed Victoria had the largest number with 11 600 followed by New South Wales (5752), Western Australia (3932) and Queensland (1476).[4]
Mauritians are a rapidly growing migrant group having increased steadily over the past 30 years.[citation needed]
