La vida de los gitanos australianos se estructura en torno a la familia, con poca relación con otros gitanos o otras personas de origen gadyò. Por el contrario, los gitanos que han llegado de Europa se han integrado en la cultura principal. |

| The Gypsies in Australia, Marni Morrow | |
The life of Australian romà centers on the family, and they have little relationship with other Gypsies or other people of gadyò origin. In contrast, the romà who came from Europe have integrated into the mainstream culture.
Most romà concentrate on big cities, where it is easier to find employment. It is difficult for many to adapt themselves to the demands of the Australian society, as their ways of making a living in Europe are not valid here. The most usual occupations are the purchase and sale of used cars, the restoration of antiques, cleaning jobs, hotel businesses and musicians. As far as education is concerned, most children leave school after primary school and whether they continue it or not depends on their parents. Few adults have finished secondary school and even fewer have finished a degree. Most second and third generation Australian romà speak English as their first language, but older Gypsies still speak and understand romanò, although they do not use it much. The 12 NGO created before 1999 have created a greater group work and their aims are, among others: improving education and living standards, developing the romanè communities and keeping the relationships and alliances with different associations and organisms. |
