Ten Pound Poms
Ten Pound Poms is a colloquial term used in Australia to describe British subjects who migrated to Australia after the Second World War under an assisted passage scheme established and operated by the Australian Government. The programme attracted over one million British migrants between 1945 and 1972 and represented the the last substantial scheme for preferential migration from Britain to Australia.
