When you picture modern Australia, a lot of what is considered the best can be found in Canberra. Offering you all the lifestyle amenities, city services and events of a world-class capital, our vibrant capital is a clean, safe and relaxed place to live and work.
It’s also a very family-friendly place. As well as Australia’s best education system and excellent health services, you’ll find there’s easy access to sporting facilities, green space, national parks and universities.
So, imagine yourself waving goodbye to the rat race and still enjoying an excellent transport network, great shopping and an endless selection of restaurants, art galleries, theatres, live music venues and clubs. And think about how much more time you’ll have to benefit from it all, in a place with no toll roads, no stressful traffic snarls and shorter commuting times.
In Canberra you really can enjoy more of the things you love to do. Especially when they’re all on your doorstep. Close to the bush, beautiful beaches and the ski fields of the Snowy Mountains, you’re also just a three-hour drive from Sydney.
