Ten Pound Poms
British migrants to Australia and New Zealand
Ten Pound Poms
Ten Pound Poms were British citizens who migrated to Australia and New Zealand after the Second World War. The government of Australia initiated the Assisted Passage Migration Scheme in 1945, and the government of New Zealand initiated a similar scheme in 1947. The Australian government arranged for assisted passage to Australia on chartered ships and aircraft. The migrants were called Ten Pound Poms because of the charge of £10 in processing fees to migrate to Australia.
