Welcome to Victorians Abroad
The Victorian Government understands how important it is to stay connected with home when you are overseas. This initiative, in partnership with Advance, aims to keep Victoria’s expatriate network connected, informed and better able to promote our State as a wonderful place to live, work, visit and invest. Victorians Abroad will help people living overseas to stay in touch with everything from job opportunities, to business updates, to the AFL football scores. It is a valuable new resource for those thinking of moving back to Victoria, for Victorian companies thinking of exporting overseas, and also for international firms thinking of investing in our State.
All Victorians living abroad are encouraged to join Advance, attend our networking events and find out how you can be an ambassador for Victoria – and promote Victoria to the world.
