Local Intelligence welcomes families to Australia through the provision of information in an easy to access, inspiring format; empowering them to live a life they love in a rural or regional community in Australia as an alternative to life in a metropolitan city.  Local Intelligence is a safe place for people of all cultures and ways of life to explore new opportunities for their family without fear of discrimination or judgement.

At Local Intelligence we strive to restore pride and support rural and regional communities to contribute to the sustainability of the planet as they produce quality food, fibre, and fuel and maintain the environment.  Local Intelligence is an advocate and a proud ambassador for rural and regional communities and the role that they play in the future sustainability of the planet and the human race.

Local Intelligence welcomes you to the Australian Bush.
