Find Your People in Melbourne in 4 Weeks

Expat Connections helps you go from feeling stuck to belonging with a trusted group, clear tools, and weekly challenges.

What You Will Gain in Four Weeks

  • Get practical tools to make connections that last

  • Speech baloon

    Go beyond small talk and build trust faster

  • The globe

    Learn how to navigate cultural and local quirks with ease

  • Find your flow with events, places, and people that fit you

How We Get You There - Week by Week

  • Week 1: Social Kickstart + Questions

    Start strong. Map your network, find anchor people, and turn casual chats into real catch-ups. End with a group Q&A to clear the roadblocks.

  • Week 2: Deepen Connection

    Go beyond “How’s it going?” Master Aussie humor, decode unspoken rules, and learn how friendliness turns into friendship

  • Week 3: Professional Integration

    Get on the radar. No matter if you’re job-hunting or already working, you’ll learn how to enter networks, read hidden norms, and build career momentum naturally.

  • Week 4: Lifestyle Alignment

    Lock it in. Design a weekly rhythm that balances work, social, and wellbeing, anchored by one recurring activity (sport, volunteering, co-working) that roots you here.

How it Works:

Moving abroad is thrilling, but it can also feel overwhelming—suddenly the little things become big: who do you hang out with, how do you read the unspoken rules, and when will this new city finally feel like home?

That’s exactly why the Expat Sprint exists: a 4-week, small-group program that shortcuts the struggle and gets you grounded faster. Through weekly 60–75 minute Zoom sessions, practical challenges, and chat support, you’ll build real friendships, gain confidence navigating both social and professional spaces, and design a lifestyle that feels rooted here.

Instead of spending months figuring it out alone, you’ll have a clear path, a supportive group beside you, and simple steps each week to make Melbourne truly yours, all for a beta price of $97, starting mid-October.

  • 4 Weeks

  • Small group (6–10)
