    Without experience of having lived abroad, I thought it would be hard to get to know other expats. But not with InterNations.

Tips and Advice on Australia from Your Fellow South African Expats

Obviously, expat life in Australia goes well beyond shipping your belongings and taking care of red tape. Socializing with fellow South Africans 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. South Africans 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 South Africans in Canberra, for example.

Wondering where to shop for South African 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 South Africa.
  • 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 bobotie in Canberra, etc.
  • The InterNations Places database for Australia has information on the nearest South African embassy and many other institutions.

From Queensland to New South Wales, you can meet supportive and friendly South African expats in Australia on InterNations.

Meet and Mingle with Fellow South Africans in Australia

Additionally, InterNations hosts regular expat events and activities in Australia. Our get-togethers are sure to cater to your taste as well: as a member, you can partake in cozy gatherings to enjoy some Australian vegemite, join one of our huge expat celebrations with hundreds of participants in Canberra’s best locations, and much more. Want to discover Australia? Go on a weekend trip with your fellow expats to see Uluru National Park and other beautiful landmarks.

Our meet-ups and activities offer many wonderful opportunities to mingle with expatriates hailing from South Africa and dozens of other countries in a casual setting.

    When I first attended the Sydney Bar night I was really nervous. But everyone welcomed me and I quickly felt as part of the community.
