Sri Lankan Australian refers to people of Sri Lankan heritage living in Australia. This includes at least four Sri Lankan ethnic groups in Australia the Sinhalese, Sri Lankan Tamil, Sri Lankan Moors and Burghers. According to Australian Bureau of Statistics data, there is no self-identifying "Sri Lankan Australian" group. Persons linked to Sri Lanka self-identify as mainly "Sinhalese Australian", "Tamil Australian" or "Burgher". However, frequently members of all ethnic groups enlist as having Sri Lankan ancestry on the ABS Census. The ABS considers the category of 'Sri Lankan' as being of 'Sinhalese' Ancestry.
