Jews came with the first European settlers in Australia. They tended to settle in the capital cities. They believed that education was vital, and were willing to make sacrifices in order to provide their children with an education. They became very influential in the professions, and have prospered in economic life.
Jewish success came partly because they were self motivated, possessed initiative and their culture on the whole favoured the work ethic
