Many disturbing trends in Australia is of 1990s, affect all the population particular young people with ethnic background. Ethnic youth are usually being confronted with additional burden of stress and conflicts, which arise out of the migration and resettlement process, coping with two cultures and value systems, and being a minority group in the society. Chinese, like other minority youth groups in Australia, are confronted with variety of stressful life events.

By reviewing relevant literature, this study will examine the Chinese culture and values, which can influence the experience of stress among the Chinese youth.
