Sydney - Post Report Question and Answers

Are there any particular mental health issues that tend to crop up at post, such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (winter blues)?

Sydney can be a very lonely post. The workplace and the city itself is not very warm and inviting. As an example, apparently it's culturally acceptable here to just ignore someone when they say good morning/hello (I'm not talking about an isolated incident, this is a common practice). Most people leave without any Australian friends. Definitely a post better suited to families who want to do their own thing. - May 2023


None, as Sydney is generally pretty healthy. And local mental health is good if needed. - Dec 2020


Nope. - May 2018
