Welcome to the Territory
With a rapidly growing economy, thriving industries and major new developments, the Northern Territory is an exciting, prosperous and vibrant place to call home. With shorter commutes and a cost of living below the national average, the Territory offers everything you need to enjoy an enviable lifestyle.
The Northern Territory stretches from the lush, tropical Top End to the striking red deserts of 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 also uniquely positioned, located closer to South-East Asia than many other Australian capitals.
