Melbourne is the capital of the state of Victoria, and the second most populated city in Australia.
Safe and equipped with efficient infrastructure, it ranks as the most liveable city in the world according to the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Liveability Survey. Offering broad student experience and career prospects, Melbourne is also one of the world’s top five leading student cities (QS Intelligence Unit).
The state of Victoria is a great place to do volunteer work, especially in conservation projects. And while the hospitality sector offers many opportunities for working holidays, there are plenty of opportunities to find work in the region, in a wide range of industries ranging from finance, petrochemicals, aircraft parts and pharmaceuticals to fashion garments, paper manufacturing and food processing.
Rich in culture and history!
The Koorie Heritage Trust showcases the culture and history of Aboriginal tribes known as the Wurundjeri, Boonwurrung and Wathaurong and other tribes of the Kulin alliance. Following the arrival of the British settlers in the nineteenth century, Melbourne has known a gold rush, several waves of immigrations and a financial boom… events that have altered and shaped the skyline and the culture of the city.
Host of the very first Olympic Games in the southern hemisphere (1956), Melbourne is home to major sporting events including the Australian Open (tennis), the Australian Grand Prix (Formula 1) and the Melbourne Cup (horse racing).
