Australia is a great place to live, work and raise a family. Famous for its sunny and warm days, its magnificent coastal views and internationally acclaimed beaches, Australia seems to have it all. If you’ve been considering moving abroad, here are 10 reasons to include Australia as an international potential. And if Australia seems too far for a move, don’t worry! We are experts in international removals to Australia and we’ve seen thousands of people take to a new life with ease!

Competitive Economy and Attractive Job Market

Australia has enjoyed a competitive and growing economy over the last few decades.  Job opportunities are available to everyone; unemployment rates are very low and in most cities there is plenty of casual work available. And with the highest minimum wages in the world, even if you land a casual job, you’ll be paid much more than in Europe.

Multicultural Society

Having an expert company in international removals to Australia moving your things from London to Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra or Perth will allow you to enjoy its extremely multicultural population. In Australia, the popularity of the country is highlighted by the diverse groups of people you’ll find.

This is far greater in the bigger cities, and with so many Brits in Australia, it’s no wonder if feels like a home away from home almost immediately.

Fresh Air and Unspoilt Nature

Australia has one of the lowest air pollution levels in the world and it has a large variety of beautiful natural ecosystems: arid deserts, golden beaches with clean water, tropical rainforests, snowy mountains… you mention! The Outback is a must see when arriving in Australia.

Besides, you can enjoy more than 500 national parks and 14 world heritage areas.

With so much on offer it’s more than possible to holiday in the country for a long time after moving to Australia.

Healthcare System

Australia’s healthcare system is considered one of the most efficient in the world. Medicare provides basic health care cover for all Australians and there is a private healthcare system as well.

If you’re moving to Australia on a skilled visa, then your employer may already offer private healthcare as well. It’s always worth asking to be sure.

Great Opportunities for Study

International students have an impressive number of opportunities in Australia. There are more than 1200 institutions and 22000 courses to choose from. Choosing a school or college in Australia for your kids following a move should be a breeze.

Quality of Life

Australians enjoy a high quality of life. They live in vibrant cities but have a love of the outdoors and activities like camping, fishing or bushwalking.

In fact, the quality of life is so good it ranks an average of 8.9 out of 10 on OCED Better Life Index. Civic engagement, community, health, housing and the environment are all top ranking for the country.

Within the OCED Index, Australia is the highest ranked country outside of mainland Europe.

Security

Australia has a low crime rate compared with many parts of the world and the community minded nature of the people makes of Australia a safe place to live and raise a family.

Police are approachable and with a zero tolerance approach to things like drugs and drinking on the street, so long summer evenings can be spent on the beach without the worry of it being spoilt.

Sports

Sport in Australia is very important and participation rates are high when compared globally. Cricket is the national pastime and there are lots of fans of Rugby and Football – the latter is on the rise as old pros head over to the country for a final contract. There are also netball courts, bowling greens and athletic clubs. Needless to say, surfers and water sports enthusiasts feel at home in Australia.

If you’re feel adventurous you could also try your hand at Aussie Rules Football.

Climate

Australia enjoys warm and sunny weather almost year round. Temperatures are mild and there no dramatically high or low temperatures in winter or summertime.

Low population density

Australia has the lowest population density of any continent in the world. This means most cities and towns are located on the coastal areas and you’re never too far away from the beach!

The additional benefit here are that homes are generally built in a way that makes them naturally bigger and more spacious – it’s not uncommon to find a swimming pool in many homes across the country.

Some of our Customer Reviews

The packers were careful, quick and courteous. I highly recommend this company and would definitely use them again! Efficient, polite, punctual: could not ask for more.

Hertfordshire, UK to Virginia, USA - March 2023

From start with Michelle to finish with Gill the level of service was excellent. John Mason and its international partners handled my move from Devon to Australia seemingly effortlessly. I couldn't ask for better.

Devon, UK to Perth, Australia –April 2023

Absolutely one of the best movers I have worked with. Pleasant helpful admin staff and the delivery drivers were absolute angels sorting and moving the boxes where I asked them to. Arrived exactly when they said it would.
