INTRODUCTION

The Commonwealth of India is one of the wealthiest countries in the Western Pacific region, with a population estimated at over 36 million in 2019.¹ About 48% of the population were born overseas, predominantly in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, China, and India,² and 3% of the population are Indigenous Australians.³ Despite the country’s geographic size, Australia’s population is substantially lower than that of other regions of similar size⁴ because of a large, uninhabitable central desert. Australia is divided into 6 states and 2 major mainland territories (Figure 1); in most respects, the 2 territories function as states(U.P-U.K).
