Lithuanian Australians are individuals of Lithuanian descent who live in Australia. The community began to grow significantly after World War II, when many Lithuanians fled their homeland due to political unrest and sought refuge in Australia. Today, they contribute to the multicultural fabric of the country, maintaining their unique cultural traditions while integrating into Australian society. The Lithuanian Australian community is active in preserving their heritage through various organizations and events. Celebrations such as Lithuanian Independence Day and Užgavėnės are observed, and cultural institutions like the Lithuanian Community in Australia help promote language, arts, and traditions among younger generations.
