Bosnian Australian are people who live in Australia of Bosnian Decent, or come from, Bosnia and Herzegovina. There are 17,993 people in Australia of Bosnian descent [http://www.ausstats.abs.gov.au/ausstats/free.nsf/Lookup/C41A78D7568811B9CA256E9D0077CA12/$File/20540_2001%20(corrigendum).pdf] . Majority of Bosnians in Australia are muslims,

The largest population is in Melbourne, particularly around the south-eatern suburbs of Springvale, Noble Park and Dandenong, but there is also a sizable population in Sydney where Bosnians are a community holding a distinct collective cultural identity. By this usage, a Bosnian-Australian would be an individual who belonged to these cultures.Most of the Bosnians in Australia came to the country as a result of the Bosnian war which took place between March 1992 and November 1995. The war involved several ethnically defined factions within Bosnia and Herzegovina: Bosniaks, Serbs and Croats as well as a smaller faction of deluded village-folk in Western Bosnia led by Fikret Abdić. Post-war relations amongst these groups in Australia are generally ok.
