I’ve had a good browse through the booklet and if the one published for Western Australia is anything to go by then the document is very good.
Although I wouldn’t say it’s a ‘one size fits all’, the booklets are certainly detailed enough to give you a good overview of the key things you’ll need to do when arriving in Australia.
More importantly, the booklets are a free resource and are therefore well worth downloading and printing out for use as a reference guide when you first arrive down under.
