What's On in Melbourne
Can I encourage you to try something new that you have always wanted to do before the end of the year? http://www.onlymelbourne.com.au

Research participants wanted - expatriates and repatriates
Newcomers who are part of a couple and have moved to Australia can complete a survey on 'Couples coping with international job relocations' for Claire Hitchings at Griffith University, Queensland
http://www.newcomersnetwork.com/research/claire_hitchings_couples_coping_with_international_job_relocations.php
People who have returned to their home country after living in another country can complete a survey on Repatriation distress – re-testing the cultural identity models for Debby van der Schuit at Erasmus University, The Netherlands
http://www.newcomersnetwork.com/research/debby_van_der_schuit_repatriation_distress_retesting_the_cultural_identity_models.php
By completing these surveys, you have the opportunity to help future newcomers find it much easier to settle in a new location.

You can also forward this email on to anyone who may find the information useful.

Cheers for now,
