Women from the Philippines constitute one of the largest groups of female immigrants from Asia to Australia. Most women migrate to marry Australian men or to join Australian husbands. Research has tended to view Filipinas' health in Australia as intrinsically linked to their marriages rather than to the characteristics of the society in which they now live. Focus on cross-cultural marriages has tended to deny the impact of structural factors, such as non-recognition of educational qualifications, on the adaptation of women to life in Australia. This paper explores the impact of immigration experience, employment, social support, relationship issues and use of health services on the health and well-being of 482 Philippines-born women in the state of Queensland. Socio-economic issues emerged as major determinants of women's well-being and satisfaction with life in Australia. Reducing inequities in employment and overcoming logistical barriers to service access may be the most effective ways of improving the health and well-being of Filipinas in Australia. |
