Helpful tips

Things to know

🗣️

Look for shops with Nepali-speaking staff

Many Nepali grocery shops have Nepali-speaking staff who can help you find products, give local advice, and make you feel welcome. Look for the 🇳🇵 badge on shop listings.

📱

WhatsApp before you drive

Stock varies week to week. Many shops are happy to answer WhatsApp messages — use the 'Check stock' button on any shop listing to send a pre-written message.

🗓️

Festival shopping — plan ahead

Dashain, Tihar, and New Year items (pooja samagri, sel roti mix, clothing) sell out fast. Check our festival shopping banner and stock up 2–3 weeks early.

🌏

You're not alone

There are tens of thousands of Nepali people across Australia. Facebook groups, community events, and WhatsApp groups are active in every major city. Start with local events.

🏥

Medicare and health

Enrol in Medicare as soon as you're eligible. For visa-related health advice, your migration agent can guide you. Community centres often run free health information sessions.

💼

Looking for work?

Check the community noticeboard for local job listings posted by Nepali businesses. Many shops and restaurants prefer Nepali-speaking staff.
