The study explored developments in the immigration policy employed by the Australian government and in the policies independently employed by state governments. The Howard Government is currently promoting measures that can be described as "Economic Multiculturalism." This study examined how these measures influence the various environments surrounding Asian migrant professionals in Australia.The study found that many Asian migrant professionals were ranked as middle-class workers in Australian society and that they were free from major concerns regarding working and living environments. This was to be expected from previous studies.Regarding the survival strategies and ethnic networks of migrant professionals, it was previously expected that such workers would be satisfied with their life in Australia and that they would have little interest in participating in Australian politics and society. It was also expected that they would mainly use the ethnic networks developed within and out … More side Australia to maintain their ethnic identity and optimize their opportunities to gain economic benefits. However, interviews with representatives of ethnic associations revealed that such expectations should be revised.Most Asian migrant professionals have acquired Australian citizenship and emphasize their relationship with Australian society, rather than the relationship with their home country and society. This study found that some migrant professionals were interested in politics ; they participate in social activities including ethnic association activities, believing that participation in the mainstream of Australian society would help strengthen their positions and contribute to society as a whole. In doing so, they have mobilized their expertise and skills and actively utilized the mass media and the Internet.
