Melbourne has a spirited German community. Germans are loved for being the first to bring wine production to Australia in the 1900's and remain one of our largest ethnic groups.

Germans living in Melbourne love:

  • Melbourne’s nightlife with hundreds of bars and live music
  • the world-class health and education systems
  • enjoying the great outdoors and Melbourne’s climate
  • the work-life culture balance with great career opportunities
  • living out of the city, either by the beach or up in the hills.

If you’re thinking about migrating to Australia from Germany, Melbourne could be the perfect home for you.
