Terms of use

Updated: 15 October 2026

What this site is

Alena · AU is a free information site about Australia. It is not a government website, a migration agent, a law firm or a real-estate agency, and it is not affiliated with the Department of Home Affairs. By using the site you accept these terms.

General information, not advice

Articles about visas, tax, renting, health and money are general information as at the check date shown on each page, not personal advice. Rules and fees change: check the official sources linked in each article before acting, and talk to a registered professional where needed. See the Disclaimer page.

External links

We link to government and third-party sites with a check date, but we are not responsible for their content or availability. There are no affiliate or advertising links; if that ever changes, they will be clearly labelled.

Using the content

Read, save and share links freely. Quote with attribution and a link. Copying whole articles or publishing them as your own requires the author's written permission.

Forms and newsletter

Do not submit other people's personal data, advertising or spam. We read every suggestion but cannot promise a personal reply. The newsletter is free and voluntary, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

If you bought the guide in the bot

The full guide used to be sold through the Telegram and MAX bot. Purchased materials remain available in the bot; orders and refunds are handled under the Refund policy.

Liability

We check facts against primary sources but cannot guarantee they are complete or unchanged. The author is not responsible for decisions of government agencies, employers or landlords, or for decisions made solely on the basis of this site.

Changes

These terms may be updated; the date of the latest version is shown at the top of the page.
