Some 93% of Greeks who live in Australia state that they have Greek Orthodox affiliation. Australian  citizenship has been taken out by 95% of Greek-Australians with residence of 20 years and over,  87.3% with residence between 10-19 years, and 61.6% with residence between 3-9 years.
In 1996 there were 14 elected members of Parliament of Greek descent in both the Federal and State Parliaments of Australia. The Greeks in Australia are recognised as having contributed to Australia's  multicultural society, taking a keen interest and involvement in the affairs of the country in which they live.  The majority of Greek-born living in Australia today speak Greek even in the workplace, especially the older Greek-born who seem to have limited competence in the use of English.

The modern Greek language is one factor that has served to unite and define the Greek community in  Australia. The Greek language print media in Australia number today 53 publications, 30 of which are printed in Melbourne, 16 in Sydney, 5 in Adelaide and 2 in Canberra. (The first Greek newspaper was printed in Melbourne in 1913.) The language used in the media is 38% Greek and 62% a combination of Greek and English. There is no publication by the Greek community printed entirely in English. There are 29 Greek language radio programs; of these 86% of the program content is broadcast in Greek and 14% in English. There are also two television programs in Greek, one by the Special  Broadcasting Service (part of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation) and one by a community  channel. Two television programs are also received directly from Greece, totalling 2 1/2 hours of  daily broadcasting from Greece.

The modern Greek language in Australia is taught through a range of programs at all levels of eduaction, from primary to tertiary. It is taught at government schools and colleges, ethnic schools, including the Greek Orthodox schools and colleges, correspondence schools, Saturday schools of languages, Catholic and independent schools, private language centres and private tuition classes. In the higher education system, Modern Greek courses have been available in the Tertiary and Further Education sector, and for the past 25 years, in Australia universities at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
