While our institute will be closed to help to prevent the further spread of COVID-19, our staff and services are still available online: German language courses, teaching & learning materials, digital library and much more.
Stay connected with us by following us on Instagram and Facebook, checking our website or by e-mail and phone.
 
We continue to follow the advice of the NSW Government and will be in touch with you regarding any updates.
 
Stay healthy and help slow the virus's transmission, hopefully allowing us all to return safely to our daily lives and work very soon.

Fortunately, our Melbourne office is not impacted and happy to welcome you.
