Beginning a life in Australia

A new version of the guide, 'Beginning a Life in Australia' has been published by the Department of Immigration & Citizenship, this time it's in Tamil.

Reflecting Australia's multiculturalism, the series of 37 native language PDFs includes languages as diverse as: Khmer, Karen, Tigrinya, Swahili, Dari and Dinka, and aim to help newly-arrived migrants by providing useful national, state and local information. This includes; registering for a tax file number, medicare and centrelink registration, enrolling your children in school, emergency services, employment, housing and social security information and more.

The guides are so packed with information that other residents of Australia may even also find the book useful - particularly those who work with migrants or who have relatives or friends who have recently arrived in Australia.
