## What is NewToAU?

NewToAU is a practical multilingual guide for people starting life in Australia. Choose your state or territory and visa or residency status to see relevant information about Medicare and private health cover, emergencies, renting, work rights, tax, driving, scams, Centrelink, utilities and everyday settlement.

Search guides, checklist tasks, key terms, official resources and emergency contacts in one place. Read clear, continuous explainer-style articles, open official government and authority websites, save useful guides and track checklist progress. Preferences and progress stay on your device.

NewToAU provides general information, not medical, legal, migration, tenancy, tax or financial advice.
