The global survey by the French-based Ipsos Social Research Centre has found Australians hold one of the world's most inclusive views of what it takes to be one of them, in this case a "real Australian."

The global survey has also found migrants who become citizens, speak English and have jobs are more likely to be accepted as "real Australians" than the corresponding levels in other countries.

Australia's race-relations commissioner says the country sets a precedent for building multicultural societies in the world.
