The Oxford Australian Mini Dictionary (2006, p. 318) states that migration is movement from one place; especially one country, to settle in another. As Mulvany and Caroll (2003, p. 28) indicate, over the past ten decades the Australian government has tried various ways to encourage people to immigrate to Australia. Australia is one of the most multicultural countries in the world. According to Mulvany and Caroll, “the number of countries represented by people coming to Australia is far greater today than it was at Federation in 1906” (2003, p. 28). Migration to Australia has increased over the years due to various reasons such as: the need for specialized training, better life, environmental changes and child migration projects, etc. The effects caused by migration are questionable and in some cases obvious.Arah, Ogbu & Okeke (2008) indicated that over the years, the number of nurses and doctors has declined, both in developed and developing countries. developing countries. According to Arah, Ogbu & Okeke, “the lack of personnel, the lack of specialized training in the poorest countries and the financial attraction of the West; have resulted in the migration of doctors and nurses from mostly developing countries of origin to more developed host or destination countries. (2008) The number of immigrant doctors: in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia; graduates from other countries are between 23% and 28%. Countries that are getting richer, lack adequate planning and have barely adequate usual facilities; are able to train, but not retain or support, better quality doctors; pushing them to migrate and become residents of Australia and other wealthy countries.
