The Territory is sophisticated, dynamic and progressive yet
it retains that friendly, fun-loving character that has made it
such a popular drawcard. These traits are accentuated by the
fact that our population is the nation’s youngest, at a median
age of just 31.2 years - 5.7 years younger than the rest of the
country. Territorians are typically a vibrant, happy, outdoorloving
lot who also know how to enjoy the finer things in life.
The Territory’s 220 000-strong population includes people
from more than 100 nationalities who have shared their
cultures over more than a century to turn this region into one
of Australia’s most cosmopolitan. Indigenous people, many
still living traditional lifestyles in remote homelands, make up
a quarter of the population and have a strong influence on the
region’s culture.
The Northern Territory covers one-sixth of Australia and
straddles climatic zones ranging from the monsoon-influenced
tropics across the ‘Top End’ nudging the Timor and Arafura
seas, to the arid red-ochre deserts of Central Australia.
The Territory’s location at the top half of Australia puts it
closer to Asia than to Australia’s main population centres and
live it.

it has long led the rest of the country in developing strong
diplomatic, cultural and economic ties with South East Asia.
Successive governments have been quick to capitalise on
this enormous trading benefit by promoting the Territory as
Australia’s ‘Gateway to Asia’.
Territory leaders have seize on opportunities to bolster the
region’s economy through trade and business relationships
tied in with burgeoning consumer demands in the growth
zones of South East Asia, the western Pacific and beyond.
The Territory’s vibrant economic growth and a raft of multimillion
and billion dollar developments are positioning
Australia’s fastest-growing region for an even more
exhilarating future. It’s going to mean exceptional work and
investment opportunities, particularly in the next five years.
Many thousands of jobs will come on line for professionals
and skilled tradespeople from all walks of life, and for
business entrepreneurs looking for a bright new start for their
families. We’re going to need a lot of people-power to get
the jobs done!
