An Asian Australian can be generally defined as a person of Asian continental ancestry or origin who was born in or is an immigrant to Australia. Defined by the 2006-2011 Australian Census, Asian Australians include "Central and Southern Asians", South-East Asians and North-East Asians. Russians and Middle Eastern people are not considered to be Asians in the 2006-2011 Australian Census. Russians are classified with "Southern and Eastern Europeans" while Middle Eastern people are classified with "North African and Middle Easterns". [Australian Bureau of Statistics. Australian Standard Classification of Cultural and Ethnic Groups Second Edition. 2005. August 20, 2006.

"Asian Australian", like other categorical definitions of ethnicity in Australia (Southern European-Australians, Indigenous Australians) cannot be defined simply as a similar group of people sharing a fixed cultural background. For example, Indian Australians, Filipino-Australians, and Chinese Australians are very different from each other in both culture and, often, physical appearance.

Additionally, although the term "Asian" in Australia is most popularly used as a term to group peoples with physical characteristics resembling East Asian people, Southeast Asians (including Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia) and (to a lesser extent) South Asia, Central Asians are also included in the Asian Australian grouping for cultural studies and academic works, as well as for official government and the 2006-2011 Australian Census.

At the 2006 Census 1,696,568 Australian residents declared that they had ancestral background to Central Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia or East Asia, either alone or in combination with one other ancestry. This represents about 8.1% of all responses. More than two-thirds of Asian Australians live in the two largest cities of Sydney and Melbourne.Fact|date=March 2008
