10 Your FamilyIn this section
In Australia, family roles might be different from what you are used to. Men and women have the same rights and responsibilities. It is acceptable and common for both men and women to go to work. Men and women also share household responsibilities, like looking after children, cooking and cleaning. Some family members will adjust to their new life in Australia more quickly than others. For example, children will often learn English faster than their parents. It is important to adjust to your new life by working together as a family. You may need to seek help and this chapter provides information about some of the services that are available. In Australia, getting help to support your family is normal and acceptable.
