3 Reasons Why You Should Live In Australia

Are you considering making the move to live Down Under?

There’s no denying that a life in Australia could have it’s advantages… The Moving Down Under Event will provide you with a unique opportunity to discover what options are available, if you were to move to Australia to live and work in 2016. Whether you’re setting out on a new career, or if you’ve decided it’s time to make a change for your family, our experienced specialist event partners are here to help. To give you a little insight to what could be on the horizon, here’s three reasons why we think you should make the move to live Down Under.

1) Australian Work, Life, Balance is second to none

Regardless of the weather or your career the Australian Lifestyle is second to none. If there’s one thing that Australian’s love it’s their personal time and lifestyle. That doesn’t meant they don’t work hard, but they do take personal time seriously. Most employers will encourage a healthy lifestyle so it’s not unusual for people to be running at lunch or for companies to have good links to gyms and other healthy activities. Family and personal life is seen as very important in Australian culture so consider your personal interests and hobbies when choosing which state, city or town you would like to live in. Do you want to be by the beach? Do you want to reduce your commute time? Do you want to get away from city life? Do you want more personal time? Ask yourself, why do you want to live in Australia?

2) Career opportunities in Australia are abundant

Australia is a fast growing country with a strong and resilient economy. Young and experienced professionals alike from a vast range of employment backgrounds have the opportunity to develop careers or even start new businesses. British, Irish and other international professionals will find that Australian companies are in high demand for our skills and experience to take their businesses forward. Whether it’s growing corporate companies, skilled HR managers, health care and medical professionals or trade workers, Australia is crying out for hard working people who have a passion for a challenge and are willing to take on a new career opportunity. Before securing your visa or speaking to a prospective employer it’s worth while speaking to a registered Australian Migration Agent, as they will be able to help advise you on options that may be available to you based on your personal skills and experience. You never know, you might already qualify for an Australian Visa.

3) You could save a lot of money and earn more

You may have heard that Australia is expensive, and that’s not untrue in some cases, but what you will soon realise is that it can be easier to save money for the future as all people working in Australia have to pay into a Superannuation fund ( a type of pension fund). In general, rents and house prices in Australia are competitive and if you’re open to living slightly outside the major city areas you can pick up a reasonable property for a lot less than major cities like London. You’ll also find that your general maintenance bills can be less, especially when it comes to heating and electricity. Groceries from major supermarket chains are often more expensive than in the UK however savvy shoppers will soon realise shopping from markets and grocers not only saves a few dollars but the quality of food is excellent.
In addition to various costs being less, you’ll also find that in most cases, pay is higher, with some industries paying up to 20% more than the same role in the UK. Take a look at some of the great salary guides available from companies such Hays for a guide to your earning potential in Australia.
