Emigrate to Australia Capital Territory

Covering a distance of only 2358 square kilometres, the Australian Capital Territory is the smallest Territory within Australia. This area currently hosts around 359,000 residents and its capital Canberra is the political centre of Australia. Home to Parliament House, the High Court and various other political institutions, Canberra is very much a working city attracting the best and the brightest from across Australia.

Surrounded by bush land, the city is a great location for past times including fishing, walking and mountain biking. The bush land is also home to many indigenous creatures including the wallaby as well as varieties of flora and fauna. Steeped in history, it has been claimed that the area was inhabited over 20,000 years ago, with inhabitants dating back to the pre-pyramids era.

The Territory's capital Canberra was purpose-built in 1908 after a dispute between the two larger cities Melbourne and Sydney, to decide who would be the nation's capital. A compromise was met and the planned city, Canberra, was built in-between.

Canberra enjoys more hours of sunshine a year than Sydney or the Gold Coast. Temperatures vary from 13-28C in summer and drop to between 0-12C in winter. The region enjoys a distinct four season cycle which is quite unique compared to the rest of Australia.

Canberra is a safe, clean and relaxed place to live that is popular with migrants. The city offers high pay rates and short commutable distances to work, as we all as an abundance of jobs in the political and Government arena.
