Aussie Start

AussieStart is a practical starter guide for new arrivals, students, workers, families and visitors to Australia. It stays on your phone — no account, no feed, no ads.

FIRST WEEK, WITHOUT THE GUESSWORK
• Airport arrival, biosecurity and getting into the city
• Local SIM or eSIM, bank account, TFN, and your state's transport card
• Emergency 000, Medicare GP visits, and OSHC basics for students
• Rent, jobs and driving rules explained in plain language

A FIRST 30 DAYS ROADMAP
Home and the journey list filter by who you are — student, worker, family or visitor — and by the state you chose. Tick tasks as you go. Everything stays on this device.

CLEAR GUIDES, OFFICIAL LINKS
Each guide covers why it matters, when to do it, what you need, step by step, common mistakes and FAQs. Tappable .gov.au links open the real government site. AussieStart never logs in for you.

HISTORY AND CULTURE
Guides on the First Peoples of this continent and what Country means, and a plain-language history of Australia covering Federation, Anzac Day, post-war migration and how the country is run — useful if you are studying for the citizenship test.

ELEVEN LANGUAGES
The interface is fully translated into English, Mandarin, Arabic, Vietnamese, Cantonese, Punjabi, Italian, Greek, Hindi, Spanish and Nepali — the languages most spoken at home in Australia. The guides themselves are in English, with Hindi and Punjabi translations of every guide.

WORKS WITHOUT INTERNET
Every guide is bundled in the app. Useful at the airport, in a rental inspection, or anywhere your data has run out.
