From the pristine shores of our northern coastland to the iconic red desert of Central Australia, new residents will find a warm welcome and an environment geared for the future. With clean air, friendly faces and strong economic growth, the Northern Territory provides a way of life unlike any other place in Australia. It is a place of opportunity for families, business people and individuals.
