You may have lived in Australia for two years or twenty. There is always more to discover - the stories, cultural references, workplace habits, social conversations and community life that shape how Australians connect with one another.

Join experts, community members and fellow Australians for an interactive morning of stories, real-life situations, discussion and discovery. No long lectures. No test. Just useful conversations about the place we call home.

Come curious. Leave more connected.
