With one of the highest standards of living in the world, Australians enjoy a quality of life second to none. Australia's long-standing Democratic and politically stable environment provide a world-class infrastructure of global support service operations. The success of its economy is underpinned by a highly skilled, multicultural workforce.

Australia makes a highly efficient, competitive and productive location for many Ministries who see it as the ideal gateway to the Asia-Pacific region. As well, Australia's native English-speaking population possess diverse language skills to further service this region.

From an international perspective, transport links between Australia and the rest of the world are frequent, reliable and cost effective.

Australia is a multicultural society with a long history of predominantly Christian affiliations with almost three-quarters of Australians calling themselves Christian.

Beyond an initial picture of declining church attendance and disillusionment in the more traditional churches, a more encouraging story reveals that the more charismatic and Pentecostal denominations are growing.

The largest growth is found in a number of Mega-Churches, where the average age of attendees is 31 years old. In the Pentecostal denomination, 47% of adherents are under 25 years old. Those marking the growth are younger, more energetic and have more disposable income than ever before.

Interestingly, many claim it has been the influx of Media Ministries, broadcasting over Australia's highly accessible, sophisticated telecommunications systems that have been responsible for the Mega-Church phenomenon. There is no doubt that Australia has a welcoming, open approach to outside Ministries. For them, Australia offers a wealth of opportunities.
