there were many effects from the war on Australia Politically, environmentally, socially and economically these were all isses after the war. these issues lead to feminism, conscription etcimpact of Vietnam war on AustraliaThousands of refugees entered Australia between 1977 and 1978. This made people scared because not only could the Vietnamese refugees spread unwanted diseases but a ship from Another Country could invade because of the undetected refugee ship. Also the Vietnamese people didn't do anything about their refugees they left it all to Australia! Australians were forced to open their eyes after forcing their young men into a war that was the result of American expansionism and to ad to this one that was eventually lost. Directly after the Vietnam War many refugees from South East Asia came to our shores claiming refugee status and we could not very well refuse them as many had fought alongside our men during the war. As a result Australia's culture was further broadened both theologically philosophically racially and culinary all in all Australia benefited from the experience.
