Life in Australia

Australian lifestyle

There is no such thing as a typical Australian lifestyle. Some Australians choose a laid-back life in the country, and others prefer to live in busy cosmopolitan areas. Regardless of where they choose to stay, Australians enjoy a high quality of life.

Australian values

The Australian government encourages new residents to learn as much as they can about their new country, including Australia’s heritage, language, customs, values and way of life.

Bringing your family members to Australia

If you are an Australian citizen or permanent resident with family overseas, your family may be able to apply for a family visa option.

• Partner category visa options
• Child and adoption visa options

Children born to permanent residents of Australia

Children born in Australia to a permanent resident parent will automatically acquire Australian citizenship at the time of the child’s birth.
