he standard of living in Sydney is similar to the United Kingdom, Europe
and North America. Australia and the United Kingdom share similar legal systems, education systems and business cultures. The Australian approach to working, socialising and entertaining is also similar.

Australian culture is very laid back – we like to work hard during the week and reward ourselves with active weekends that make full use of our climate.

Sydney’s cultural diversity has produced a society that is creative, open and friendly. It offers a secure environment for families and is a great place to raise your children, with excellent infrastructure in health care, education, transport and telecommunications.

With a democratic political system, Australian traditions of religious tolerance, cultural diversity and freedom of speech and association are deeply entrenched.

These factors are a major attraction for many international people who choose Sydney and NSW as a long-term base for their career and family life.

This section of the guide includes everything you need to know once you settle into life in Sydney.
