ABOUT BALLARAT

A regional city that prides itself on its liveability.

Ballarat is home to some of the most renowned educational institutions in Australia, a high-quality healthcare system, robust manufacturing industry and copious job opportunities across a multitude of sectors. Combine this with its bustling arts and culture scene, fine food and wine, and acclaimed festivals and attractions, and you have a solid foundation off which to build your life anew.

With a history steeped in rich indigenous culture and a bold claim to gold rush fame, Ballarat is truly built on gold. A gold that can be seen, felt, smelt, heard and tasted. A gold which has existed for tens of thousands of years and which lasted through to the gold rush and beyond. A gold that continues to evolve today and will be further built upon well into the future.
