Some people who are seeking another country which they want to call their own often ignore Australia because they think it is just made up of English speakers who come from Britain and nowhere else. Far from it, as Australia has grown in many respects such as expanding the export of minerals and advertising itself as a great tourist destination it has thrived and has attracted eager migrants from around the world. This is on top of those that came to Australia last century to build the country into what it is today.
Australia is packed to bursting point with breathtaking, beautiful landscapes like its beaches and its outback areas which change constantly as you drive from place to place. It is a nature lover’s dream with its flocks of cockatoos chattering amidst the trees, or the gentle sound of the bounding kangaroo as it finds a spot to hide or even the iconic koala which quietly gets on with life until a natural disaster affects its existence. Man-made structures like the Sydney opera house add that touch of culture to the country’s largest city.
If getting a well-paid job is your main concern then there are plenty of opportunities in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide and Darwin. You just need to choose the climate and then choose your job. It is as simple as that.
Whatever country you come from, if you are off to the city you will find people from all over the world as well as the indigenous Australians, so you will not feel uncomfortable.
If you are not yet convinced to make Australia your home try looking at the other benefits Australia has to offer.
A stable economy with plenty of jobs
Because the economy in Australia is always growing and the level of unemployment is low, there is always a demand for skilled workers as there are rarely enough Australians available to fill all the vacancies.
Low levels of air pollution
From time to time there are dust storms but most of the time Australians experience low levels of air pollution which means the country provides a healthy environment to raise kids. So if you live in a polluted city and feel the effects on your health and well-being then Australia may be a good choice for you.
High quality education
If you have a family now or intend to have one later Australia offers some of the best educational facilities in the world. There are world class sports facilities if you want to train to be a superstar in your chosen sport.
A multicultural population
If you are from a non-English speaking country or a different ethnic group, you don’t need to worry about discrimination. Australia is a land of immigrants who come from all corners of the earth. Nearly 50% of the country’s population has roots in other countries.
Great outdoor activities
Water activities of all kinds are popular in coastal areas. Hiking and camping can be enjoyed all year round in Australia. If you like 24/7 warmth go hiking or enjoy sports in the northern territory.
A quality healthcare system
There is both private healthcare and government supported Medicare coverage that helps to keep you healthy. No-one is ever denied medical care if they do not have any money,
Check your eligibility to work in Australia
First of all, you need to check to make sure your occupation can be found on the Skilled Occupation List or what is called the Consolidated Skilled Occupation List. This is intended to help you to apply through the General Skilled Migration visa program which has a number of different visa categories. Some of the most popular choices are:
- Skilled Regional Provisional Visa,
- Skilled Nominated Visa,
- Skilled Independent Visa,
- Employer Sponsored Visa.
