Communities are strong in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, and Geelong.

Croatian Translation Considerations
When translating Croatian documents, our translators pay attention to several language-specific factors:
Croatian actively avoids international loanwords in favour of native Slavic coinages; for example, "football" becomes "nogomet" rather than using an English borrowing.
Be mindful of the differences between Croatian and Serbian terminology, particularly in legal, technical, and administrative vocabulary, even though the languages are mutually intelligible.
Croatian documents use the European date format (DD.MM.YYYY.) with a period after the year, which differs from the Australian format.
Croatian uses the Latin alphabet with the special characters: č, ć, đ, š, and ž. The digraphs dž, lj, and nj are treated as single letters in the alphabet. Standard Western fonts generally support these characters with proper encoding, but verify that đ (d with stroke) renders correctly. Use UTF-8 encoding.
