Local services in Australia
Developed and delivered by Health direct Australia on behalf of all Australian governments, the National Health Services Directory (NHSD) is the leading source of health and related services information in Australia. Australia’s health system offers a range of services for different health needs. To facilitate connection to and between these services, it is vital that consistent and accurate information about them is easily accessible to both consumers and service providers.
Australia offers a diverse range of study options for international students, with more than 1,200 institutions and over 22,000 courses to choose from. You can study at all levels of education from primary and secondary school, to vocational education and training (VET), from English language courses to higher education (including universities). Regardless of what you are studying or how long you are studying for, Australia’s laws promote quality education and protection for international students.
City of Australia has a range of child care options - council and community-run centres, family day care, outside school hours and school holiday services. We own and manage five children’s centres and there is a range of schooling options in the municipality. The City also provides a broad range of health and support services, programs and resources to assist the community. Melbourne's libraries welcome people to read, connect, create and learn. We have six branches across the municipality - City Library in Flinders Lane, Kathleen Syme in Carlton, Library at The Dock in Docklands, East Melbourne, North Melbourne and Southbank Library at Boyd. Melbourne has a big number of strategies and plans in place to keep you and your family safe and to prepare the city for emergencies. This great city aims to assist in building strong communities by supporting organisations, programs and services that develop a sense of community in the municipality.
