If you have any national or international business to take care of then your first stop will be the Australian Government’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. This organisation advances the interests of the Australian government and the Australian people. The organisation handles issues related to security, prosperity, travel and international dealings.
This is the organisation that can help you with visas, immigration and citizenship, tourism, foreign embassies and ministers. There are over twenty one million people in this island country, though indigenous people have lived on the land for 60,000 years. While the origins of Australia are well known (they were descendants of the British) an international population soon migrated to the island, including immigrants from Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
A unique element in Australia is that there is no class system here. Political leaders come from every walk of life. This is an egalitarian system, and the continent welcomes immigrants and refugees from over 200 countries. In fact, 25% of the nation was born off the island.
If you have any questions related to travel or social settings in Australia, then contact the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. You can also find a list of embassies for assistance overseas.
