Tips and Advice on Australia from Your Fellow Indonesian Expats

Obviously, expat life in Australia goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow Indonesians is an important facet of living abroad and can be a huge stepping stone in getting to know the Australian mentality and way of life. Indonesians in Australia are a part of our community, calling cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, and many others home. You can use InterNations to look for fellow Indonesians in Canberra, for example.

Wondering where to shop for Indonesian delicatessen, want to discuss your national team's latest match, or simply talk to someone in your native language? Become a member of the Australian InterNations Community!

  • Our network is the best place to meet expats from Indonesia.
  • On the Australia Expat Forums, you can get competent answers to all your expat-related questions: how to find a babysitter fluent in your mother tongue, where to get nasi goreng in Canberra, etc.
  • The InterNations Places database for Australia has information on the nearest Indonesian embassy and many other institutions.
