Living in NSW

Australia is the best place in the world to live according to the 2005 IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook. It's a country where the quality of life achievable is very high, employment prospects are plentiful, education is world class and health care readily available.

Australia is blessed with fine weather, friendly people and a stunning and diverse natural landscape. Its lifestyle is similar to that of North America and Europe when it comes to work and leisure, and Australia and North America share similar legal systems, education systems and business cultures.

As the most multicultural city in the Asia Pacific, Sydney's cultural diversity has produced a society that is creative, open and friendly. Sydney offers a secure environment for families, with excellent facilities, transport and telecommunications.
