Abstract
In this study, we critically evaluated the Australian immigration policy based on technical functionalism. Special attention was paid to industrial relations and the recent criteria of the Australian government for granting immigration. The ruling Labor Party has been pursuing multiculturalism in its immigration policy, where coexistence of various cultural identities such as language, religion, and habits-"Ascriptions"-are promoted. Whereas, in their actual administration, functionalism-"Achievement"-underlies both the immigration criteria and working conditions. Adopting "Immigration Culture" as a keyword, we examined the current status and problems of Australian immigration policy by evaluating technical functionalism from a cultural perspective.
