On this page, we will be posting regular events and activities for all of our members. To help us grow this particular section of the site, please feel free to email us with any suggestions you might have. We also hope to provide members with regular updates on specific events and also organise various member functions, seminars and social occassions. ExpatsDownunder is focused on providing all of our members with sound and useful advice and we believe that regular member events are a great way to provide this information as well as meet new friends and contacts. If you want to catch up on news of the world, you might find our links section at the bottom of this page useful. We have identified and listed several major news sources for various member countries. We will endeavour to update these regularly. There is also a ‘topical’ event box, displaying a recent news item from somewhere around the world. If you would like to suggest an event, please send as much information as you can to info@expatsdownunder.com, we will let you know whether or not we can post the event on this page.
