Is there more to life than sunshine and barbecues?

With the continuing extraordinary growth in the whole of the Pacific Rim region, the declining influence of the northern hemisphere and the growing need to have an influential presence, many international companies are placing staff in Australian-based regional offices.

The geographical diversity, ethnic complexity and distinctive attitudes to work and leisure make a move to Australia or New Zealand a highly exciting but equally challenging experience for employees and their families.

The Farnham Castle International Briefing Centre offers briefings for both countries examining political, economic and social issues, the business and working environment and the practical aspects of living and adapting to a new lifestyle and conditions. Briefings are also available for islands in the Pacific with an additional focus on trade, aid and development.

For those with a broader geographical responsibility it is often possible to add a regional overview giving advice on the political and economic implications as well as business and trading developments.
