Product Description

Product Description

Migration to Australia is not always straightforward, nor is it the right choice for everyone. This book is designed to assist people in making an informed decision ahead of taking the huge step to relocate. It will equip readers with enough information to prepare them for the day-to-day realities of living and working in Australia, as this often turns out to be very different from what was expected. Part One is a general overview to Living in Australia and details the complex visa process, finance, healthcare, lifestyle, property and education. It also contains up to date information on the current economic situation, which industries are on the rise and decline, how to go about your job search from the UK and Australia, where to look for work and how to increase your opportunities and secure the correct visa. Part Two examines Australia's main cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra and Tasmania) and provides comprehensive information about what to expect from each in terms of lifestyle, employment opportunities, recreation, residential options and information on education and childcare for those with families. Written from personal experience, this book seeks to reduce some of the stress involved in making the momentous decision to live / work in Australia and offers valuable advice and tips on how to save time and money.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointed, 10 Mar 2008
By 
This review is from: Living and Working in Australia: A City by City Guide (City By City Guide) (Paperback)
Given previous reviews which had been written on this book I had high hopes for it. However the information tended to be a bit general, and didn't supply me with much more than I already knew from the internet etc.

(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Living and Working in Australia: A City by City Guide (City By City Guide) (Paperback)
I was extremely disappointed by this book. I could almost have written it myself - much of the info was very general and simply referred you on to web addresses etc. Definitely not worth the money and other MUCH better books on the market.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!, 22 Mar 2006
By 
Ben L (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Living and Working in Australia: A City by City Guide (City By City Guide) (Paperback)
I had no idea about coping with life in Australia when I first went out there but taking this book along with me helped me no end - it had everything I needed, from Brit tips on surviving abroad to dealing with TV repairmen who don't want to help you! I would recommend this book to anyone who is moving to Oz, even if they're only going for a short amount of time - it will be worth it!
