5 Reasons To Move Your Family To Sydney

One of the world’s most famous cities, Sydney isn’t just for travellers and adventure seekers – it’s perfect for families too. See why you should move to Sydney with yours and start planning your new life Down Under.

1. Great job opportunities

Like any parent should, you want to provide the best for your family, and you have a great chance of doing so when living in Sydney. There are a wide range of industries crying out for skilled professionals, from trade work to hospitality and I.T. to construction, meaning that there are many job opportunities to take advantage of. If you have the skills, Sydney needs you. Just take a look at the Skilled Occupation List to see if you match up.

2. High performing schools

Whether you opt for public or private, Sydney (and Australia as a whole) has one of the best education systems in the world, recently coming top out of 142 countries for education in the Legatum Prosperity Index. With over 1,400 schools in Sydney alone, finding the right one for your child(ren) is important for many reasons – even dictating which area of Sydney you’ll live in due to the catchment area.

3. High quality of life

Sydney often pops up on those most liveable cities lists, and there’s a reason why: it really does have quite a lot to offer. From the outdoor lifestyle with the beaches, parks and nearby national parks, to the great food, galleries, museums and markets; Sydney will fill up your and your family’s free time with an abundance of things to do to enjoy life.

4. Long and warm summers

It may be applicable to pretty much everyone, but when are children happiest: when it’s cold or when it’s sunny? With an average 236 days of sunshine every year, you can really make use of all those beaches and parks, making Sydney a great place to bring up your kids.

5. Low crime, high safety

For such an urban area, crime in Sydney is far lower than cities of a similar size and stature in the USA and UK. Road safety is also taken extremely seriously, with speeding and drunk driving restrictions highly enforced.
