Welcome to Navitas settlement website

Settle-in website
We are pleased to introduce you to the new website that Navitas has developed to assist you as a new migrant with finding information about the different settlement services in Australia.

You can navigate easily through the website.  Simply hover your mouse over the town map and each building will take you to one of these settlement themes:

Learning English, Community, Health, Money, Housing, Transport, Education, Work, Law, Australian Society

You can click on any theme to access links to information about different topics.

You will find the website address by going to Links on the right hand side of the blog and clicking on the second link: English language websites.  This will take you to our Wiki page which has useful information and resources for all our DL students.

Did you know some services are offered by the Federal / Australian government in all the states but there are other services that are offered by your state government.  If you find a link to a NSW service for example you may like to look for a similar service in your state.

Test yourself - Where can you find the following information on the website!
  • Social etiquette - what personal questions you should avoid asking or what it means to shout somebody in a pub
  • Immigration and visas - what to do if your short-term visa expires
  • Consumer rights - what to do if you have a problem with the fridge you recently bought
  • Mental health - where to go if a family member is suffering from depression
  • Beach safety - how to find out if the beach is safe for swimming and what lifeguards do
Why not share a fact you learnt from the website or leave your feedback about the website here!
