Laotian Australians, also known as Lao Australians (Lao: ຄົນລາວອົດສະຕຣາລີ), refers to Australians who have either migrated from Laos and/or have Lao ancestry. The first Lao people that came to live in Australia arrived through the Colombo Plan in the 1960s,[1] which gave a number of Laotians the opportunity to live and study in Australia. The migration of the Lao commenced with the Indochinese refugee crisis in 1975 following communist regime takeovers.[2] According to the 2016 Census, there are 10,402 Laos-born Australians with the majority residing in New South Wales.[3]
