We are proud of our diversity. Around one-third of our population was born overseas, and every day they help make our state the vibrant, smart and strong place that it is.
It’s why we're so proud to welcome students, visitors, and future Victorians from around the world in ever larger numbers.
As well as being one of the world's most liveable cities, Melbourne is Australia's sporting capital, and home to our nation's best cultural, creative, and major events.
Our regional cities and towns are also booming, offering an incredible visitor experience and lifestyle whether by the beach or the bush.
Victoria is a leader in renewable energy, advanced manufacturing, medical research, and innovation.
We're proud to offer a strong and stable economic environment, one of the world’s fastest growing startup ecosystems, and a range of dynamic industry sectors offering diversification opportunities.
Our strengths are enhanced by significant government investment and engagement, supported by the Victorian Government's Trade and Investment network of 23 offices in the world's most dynamic markets. Our network provides direct access to all that Victoria has to offer, and is by far the largest international presence of any Australian state or territory.
Victoria has an ambitious international outlook, with world-class capabilities and networks to match. Our state enjoys extensive cultural, government and business connections around the world, but it's our ambition to deepen our existing ties and forge new ones that sets us apart.
I sincerely look forward to growing Victoria's global relationships and working with you to advance our shared interests and strengthen our already strong cultural connections.
Honourable Jacinta Allan MP
Premier of Victoria
