Acquaint yourself with Australian seasons. Spring starts in September, summer in December, fall in March and winter in June.
Pack lightweight yet traditional suits for business trips. Women dress conservatively on the job, wearing hose with all suits.
Prepare for long, hot and humid summers. Take shorts, short-sleeved shirts, skirts and sundresses in cotton and linen, as these fabrics will breathe in the heat. A hat, sunglasses and sunblock will protect you from the sun's intense rays.
Bring plenty of layers when visiting during the winter months. Winters in Sydney are mild, but can get cold. Lightweight wool, fleece and flannel garments will keep you warm and comfortable.
Pack sandals and a pair of walking shoes.
Bring an umbrella if you intend to visit between October and April, as these are the city's wettest months.
Stash a swimsuit in your bag in case you have the opportunity to hit the waves at Bondi Beach.
