Learn about life in Australia one sentence at a time. Short knowledge cards from official sources, plus guides, checklists and help numbers in 9 languages.
NewToAU is the friendly way to learn how life in Australia works. No long articles to wade through: every knowledge card is a single useful sentence, with the full guide and official source one tap away.
SHORT KNOWLEDGE CARDS
Swipe through bite-sized cards about Medicare, renting, work rights, banking, tax, driving and scams. Filter by topic, see who each card applies to, then open the full guide or the responsible authority's official website. A fresh card appears on Home every day.
GUIDES AND CHECKLISTS THAT FIT YOU
Choose your state or territory and your visa or residency status. NewToAU shows the guides and step-by-step checklists that apply to you, from your first 30 days to renting, starting a job, getting a Tax File Number and staying safe from scams.
OFFICIAL HELP NUMBERS, ONE TAP AWAY
Call 000 or find official hotlines grouped by need: emergency services, police, health, mental health, family and domestic violence, interpreter services, and money, work and scam support.
NINE LANGUAGES, WORKS OFFLINE
Read everything in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Vietnamese, Arabic, Hindi, Filipino, Korean or Japanese. Guides and cards are built in, so they work without internet. No account or sign-up. Your choices stay on your device.
DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE
A warm, calm design with Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, Dark Mode, Arabic right-to-left layout, iPhone and iPad.
NewToAU provides general information only. It is not medical, legal, immigration or financial advice. Rules can change, so always check the linked official source for your situation.
