The social profile and the organizational landscape of Polish diaspora, known as ‘Polonia’, in Australia has been undergoing a significant change: sociodemographic (ageing), sociocultural (diversification) and sociopolitical (integration and assimilation). The ‘wave-type’ immigration (1947-56 and 1980-89), combined with the sudden decline in immigration after Poland’s independence (1989) and accession to the EU (2004), resulted in the rapid shrinking, ageing and internal differentiation of the Polish community. The pre-1989 ‘ethno-representative’ and ex-servicemen organisations have been withering away. The ‘culture preserving’ ethnic organizations, as well as religious/church groups also weaken, due to their shrinking demographic base. The Australian ‘Polonia’ is diversifying, as well as internally dividing, the latter process accelerated by widening political-ideological divisions in Poland. Under the impact of social diversification and globalization, and in the context of evolving multicultural policies in Australia, new forms of organization and social activism emerge. Interethnic, integrative and ‘bridging’ organizations and initiatives, anchored mainly in metropolitan social circles of Melbourne and Sydney, attract the most educated immigrants and their offspring and break the mould of ethnic exclusivity. Next to traditional Polish Associations, multiplying Senior Clubs and still numerous Polish schools there also appear some nationalistic groups, active mainly in social media. These general trends: numerical decline, ageing and diversification (combined with political divisions) reflect the changing conditions in the Australian and Polish societies, as well as the processes of migrant adaptation and integration.

澳大利亚的波兰移民和组织

波兰侨民在澳大利亚的社会形象和组织格局正在发生重大变化：社会人口统计学（老龄化），社会文化（多样化）和社会政治（融合与同化）。波峰式移民（1947-56和1980-89），再加上波兰独立（1989）和加入欧盟（2004）之后的移民突然减少，导致移民迅速萎缩，老龄化和内部分化。波兰社区。1989年前的“民族代表”组织和退伍军人组织已经消亡。“保护文化”族裔组织以及宗教/教会团体也由于其人口基础缩小而减弱。澳大利亚的“ Polonia”正在多样化，而且内部存在分歧，后一进程因扩大波兰的政治思想分歧而加速。在社会多元化和全球化的影响下，以及在澳大利亚不断发展的多元文化政策的背景下，出现了新的组织形式和社会行动主义。种族，融合和“桥梁”组织和倡议主要锚定在墨尔本和悉尼的大都市社会圈子中，吸引了受过高等教育的移民及其后代，并打破了种族排他性的模式。除了传统的波兰协会之外，大量的高级俱乐部和仍然众多的波兰学校也出现了一些民族主义团体，主要活跃于社交媒体上。这些一般趋势：数值下降，
