As of June 2020, there were almost 19 million residents of Australia who were born in the Oceania and Antarctica region. Oceania and Antarctica, which includes residents born in Australia, ranked first on the list of top ten populations in Australia by major region. North-West Europe was the second most common birthplace of Australian residents. This is unsurprising given that people born in England make up Australia's largest migrant group.
