Australia’s reputation of sun-drenched beaches and stunning landscapes is well-entrenched around the world, but we have more to offer.

We’re a nation rich in cultural, scientific and business talent, driving the country forward with creativity and passion.

However, global research clearly shows that not enough is known about these achievements.

And that’s what this website is all about: sharing the stories of people changing the world for the better – through their art, business acumen, scientific or humanitarian efforts.

The common thread is Australia: whether it’s through a person’s place of birth or their experience of living, working or studying in the country, Australia Unlimited explores/discovers the contribution Australia’s people are making to global issues.

This website is the central point for these stories of creativity and capability. You'll find compelling articles, combined with stunning photography and engaging multimedia.

We’d love you to share these stories: our Creative Commons licence actively encourages visitors to this website to take this content and use through their own communication channels.

We’d also like to hear from you – if you are, or know someone, who you think should be featured, let us know.

The In the News section is where we showcase the Australian stories that are making the news around the world – we update this every week.

But wait, there’s more!

Every month, we showcase a number of in-depth stories in our Australia Unlimited ipad app, using fresh, engaging content supported by stunning imagery taken by world-class Australian photographers, as well as behind-the-scenes videos, interviews and podcasts.

A brand for the nation

Australia Unlimited is a nation brand that was developed in response to global research that demonstrated our global reputation was based more on our physical attributes than our intellectual ones.

The brand is part of a broader program called Building Brand Australia, which is funded by the Australian Government, to enhance our international reputation.
