Welcome to the Territory
With a rapidly growing economy, industries and major developments, the Northern Territory is an exciting, prosperous and vibrant place to call home. Shorter commutes to work and a cost of living lower than the national average means the Territory offers everything you need to enjoy an enviable lifestyle.
The Northern Territory spans from the lush, tropical Top End to the arid and spectacular Central Australia. Approximately 1500 kilometres lie between the Territory’s two major centres, Darwin and Alice Springs – and there is plenty to see in between. Darwin is closer to South-East Asia than many other Australian capital cities.
