There was a large impact on Australia, many people died and communities felt losses. Nearly everyone had lost a loved one or knew someone that did.
Much of the Australian economy, government, and society, in general, was transformed in World War I. Women had to replace men in the workforce, but were not paid reasonably. New companies such as BHP in Newcastle was formed and chemical and electrical industries followed. Food shortages were not as much a problem in Australia as is in many parts of Europe. Their price only raised by around 32%. The Australian Agricultural sector earned much money, as Britain bought much of their wheat as part of their war effort. Much legislations and acts were made in parliament, such as the War Pensions Act and the War Census Act. However, the impact of the war only became much more apparent when the soldiers returned, with many losses for a country with a relatively small population. Household violence was more common, as well as drunkenness, hostility between trade unionists and returned soldiers were also a problem, as well as that between Protestants and Catholics. The Government also had to suffer the burden of supplying jobs for all the returned soldiers, whom would start the RSL, which emphasized the needs of the returned soldier.

World War 1 affected many parts of Australian society; including the workforce. Women were forced to enter the workforce and foreign labour was common. Farmers and trades were overburdened by the lack of men available for the workforce.
