The Asian Dating App for Australia
Last updated
Australia is one of the world's most multicultural societies, and Mandarin is now the most common language other than English spoken at home. Krush helps you meet Asian singles across the country, from Sydney and Melbourne to Perth, Brisbane, and Adelaide — and across borders when your family is somewhere else.

The local dating scene
Asian Australia is spread across every capital, but each city has its own shape. Sydney's communities cluster in suburbs like Hurstville, Eastwood, Chatswood, Cabramatta, and Harris Park; Melbourne's in Box Hill, Glen Waverley, Springvale, and Footscray; Brisbane's around Sunnybank and the Fortitude Valley Chinatown; and Perth's in Northbridge, Victoria Park, and the southern suburbs. Universities in every capital keep a steady stream of international students arriving, many of whom stay on after graduating. Australia's time zones line up with much of Asia — Perth shares one with Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, and Hong Kong — which makes cross-border relationships easier to keep up than they are from Europe or North America.
The local community
Asian Australians are a large and growing share of the population, with Chinese, Indian, Vietnamese, Filipino, Korean, Malaysian, and Nepalese communities among the biggest. Most live in Sydney and Melbourne, with fast-growing communities in Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Canberra. The mix runs from families who arrived generations ago to students and skilled migrants who came in the last few years.

Frequently asked questions
Is Krush free to use in Australia?
Yes. Krush is free to download in Australia on iOS and Android, and the core experience costs nothing: creating a profile, browsing recommendations, liking people, and matching. Opening a chat with a match may use Hearts. If you want more, Hearts are one-time purchases for single actions like a Spark, and Krush Plus, the paid subscription, makes Sparks and chats with matches unlimited. Prices appear in the app stores.
How do I meet Asian singles in Australia on Krush?
To meet Asian singles in Australia on Krush, download the app, build a profile that covers your cultural background, languages, and dating goals, and set your preferences for nearby or international matches. Every new member then goes through a verification waitlist. Once through, you get curated recommendations, and a match opens a chat when you both like each other.
Which Australian cities have the most active Asian dating scenes?
Sydney and Melbourne have Australia's largest Asian communities by a wide margin, centred on suburbs like Hurstville, Chatswood, and Cabramatta in Sydney and Box Hill, Glen Waverley, and Springvale in Melbourne. Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide have smaller but fast-growing scenes, and each city has its own Krush page covering local suburbs, campuses, and community hubs.
Is Krush useful for international students in Australia?
Yes. Australia has one of the world's largest international student populations, with big cohorts from China, India, Nepal, Vietnam, and across Southeast Asia in every capital city. Krush profiles show cultural background, languages, and dating goals, which helps when you have just arrived and are building a social life from scratch.
Can I match with people overseas from Australia?
Yes. Krush supports cross-border matching, so you can set your preferences toward people in other countries as well as nearby. Australia's time zones overlap closely with much of Asia — Perth shares one with Singapore and Hong Kong — so keeping a long-distance connection going is more practical from here than from Europe or North America.
When are the big Asian cultural events in Australia?
Australia's biggest Asian cultural events are the Lunar New Year festivals in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane in January or February, Diwali celebrations in every capital in October or November, and Mid-Autumn and Moon Festival events in September or October, including the Cabramatta Moon Festival in Sydney. They are easy, relaxed plans for an early date.
