Migrant countries are typically individualist. After all most people here either forgone their countries of origins and left for Australia or are descendants of such people. Desire for personal wellbeing prevailed over the bonds to the community.
Also, community and family bonds cannot just be created with a flip of fingers. It such things have provided for you since childhood, you grow accustomed to relying on them and to contribute to them yourself. You normally do not think about it, just do it. However, if you think about it, you contribute precisely because you can expect them to take care of you when you need it, you can trust in them.
However, in a society where community and family did not provide or help enough, or worse betray your trust and hopes, you grow self-reliant and cynical. It is not possible to trust in what have betrayed you before. If society did nothing for you, why do you need to do anything for them. Same with family.
In that regard Australia is a country created by people betrayed by their previous societies. That is one thing that unites us. From original convicts who were driven to steal by poverty in 19th century UK and then punished for that, to current migrants escaping dishonest thieving dictators from Russia, China and the like.
So, for people who grew up in self-reliant societies it's not possible to trust in community or family. It is however possible to seek benefits from members of such communities. That is why a lot of men marry Asians and women Africans nowadays.
