Australia

Australia is a stable, democratic society with a skilled workforce and a strong, competitive economy. With a population of 20 million, Australia is the only nation to govern an entire continent and is the sixth largest country in the world in land area. Australia's multicultural society includes its Indigenous peoples and migrants from some 200 countries. Australia has had one of the most outstanding economies of the world in recent years. As a high-growth, low-inflation, low interest rate economy, it is more vibrant than ever before. There is an efficient government sector, a flexible labour market and a very competitive business sector.

With its abundant physical resources, Australia has had a high standard of living since the nineteenth century. It has made a significant investment in social infrastructure, including education, training, health and transport. Australia's workforce of approximately 10 million is highly trained. Many senior managers and technical staff have international experience, while almost half of Australia's workforce has university, trade or diploma qualifications. In a globalised economy, language skills are a key workforce advantage. Although Australia is an English-speaking country, more than 4.1 million of its people speak a second language. Australia offers the familiarity of a Western business culture with a workforce capable of operating in both Asian and Western business environments - Australia has the widest range of native Asian language skills in the region

Fact File
Australia is one of the all time great travel destinations. From the tropical forests of the Gold Coast to the deserts of the Red Centre and Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia has one of the most dynamic, diverse environments on earth. Covering an area of nearly 8 million square kilometres – around 25 times the size of the UK – this vast country gives countless possibilities to explore. You can volunteer on conservation projects throughout this environment and play your part in protecting its bio-heritage. Take time out in white waters, surfing or rafting; in the deep blue waters of the Great Barrier Reef; or the dusty red landscapes of central Australia, taking in the magnificent Uluru (Ayer’s Rock). Join us in an i-to-i Venture to Australia.


Culture
Australia is a tolerant and inclusive society, a nation built by people from many different backgrounds - Vietnam, China, Greece and the UK are among the top 10 countries that Australians have migrated from. Cultural diversity has become a touchstone of Australia's national identity. One example of this diversity is the growth of Islam in Australia. Today, Muslims form an increasingly important part of Australia's diverse modern society and the most recent Australian Census in 2001 revealed a total of 281 576 Australian Muslims living in Australia.
