About Australia

The Australian Government is committed to making you feel welcome in your new home.

To prepare you for life Down Under, it has published a guide called Beginning a Life in Australia available in a variety of languages.

There are many other government sites that can offer advice on living and working in Australia. For example, the Australian Taxation Office provides taxation information and can issue you with a Tax File Number, which is essential if you want to work or do business in the country.
