ExpatriateConnect Successfully Launched - Make Sure You Sign Up!

The Southern Cross Group, in partnership with the Australian Institute for Commercialisation, is pleased to report that on 9 June 2004, Nobel Laureate and former Australian of the Year Professor Peter Doherty officially launched ExpatriateConnect, an exciting new national expatriate database project, before a packed house of 450 overseas Australians at the Australian High Commission in London.

Read our 2 June 2004 media release about this event here and our 10 June 2004 media release as well. If you are media, and you would like to interview Peter Doherty regarding ExpatriateConnect - please call Anne MacGregor on +32 474 950 131.

Help us Promote ExpatriateConnect!

We hope that wherever you are in the world, you'll get behind ExpatriateConnect, by signing yourself up to the network, and by promoting it to other expat Australians. ExpatriateConnect is for ALL overseas Australians, regardless of age, background, education, skills, experience or profession. We have made available a pdf poster and a brochure about ExpatriateConnect which may assist. These can be printed off our site and photocopied or e-mailed around to friends and colleagues. If you would like us to send you significant quantities of brochures or flyers to distribute to a local Australian expat group or at an event, etc, please write to info@southern-cross-group.org. Our joint AIC/SCG media release of 2 June 2004 and our media release of 10 June 2004 are also useful background.

Evening with Professor Graeme Hugo

Hong Kong, date TBA

Due to the enormous interest in the expatriate community in Asia in Professor Hugo's work, we have now asked him to speak to expats in Hong Kong sometime during 2003. This event, it if proceeds, will most likely be a joint SCG/AustCham Hong Kong event. Stay tuned for details.
