Townsville... the real Australia is welcoming, friendly and relaxed.

Many students, with the support of their families, view Australia as the ideal study location. The challenge is to source a city that provides outstanding education facilities, a safe friendly and welcoming lifestyle, and offers real value in both living and education costs.

Townsville/Thuringowa have been designated "Safe Communities" by the World Health Organisation. This is the 103rd designation word wide and the 3rd in Queensland.

Life in tropical Australia is unique and this is why more Australians are moving north, leaving the capital cities for

Queensland's tropical coast. Here they enjoy a lifestyle that allows time to focus on family, quality of life and personal development.

Tropical living in Townsville and North Queensland is about life away from the distractions, pressure and pollution of big cities. It's about having time and the opportunity to pursue personal goals, to take up hobbies and sports not otherwise available, and to maintain good health with a focus on exploring some of the world's most spectacular natural wonders.
