Settling in Australia

We've just conducted a Settling in Australia workshop for a client who has some South American executives coming to work in Australia.

The workshop was conducted in English, Portuguese and Spanish, a wonderful mix of languages. We talked about the basics like taxation, health, education, leisure, sport, safety, work culture – and other interesting facts about Australia such as slang.

Both federal and state governments are doing a great job by providing much useful information in foreign languages, thus allowing new temporary workers and their families to integrate into Australia.

At our workshop, we had a particularly good discussion of the spiders found in Australia. I'm scared of them but we can't avoid them, unfortunately.
