Where is Victoria?
Situated in the south east corner of Australia, Victoria is the smallest mainland state and the most densely populated,
with just over 5 million residents.
Most Victorians live in the capital city of Melbourne, but those in most of Victoria’s rural communities are well
supported by large vibrant regional centres nearby.
Regardless of where you choose to relocate to, you’re never going to be more than several hours drive from Melbourne or
one of our major regional centres, like Geelong, Ballarat, Bendigo, Shepparton, Mildura or Warnambool.
