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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!, 22 Mar 2006
By Ben L (London, UK) - See all my reviews
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!

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!, 16 Mar 2008
By Ms. G. Arkless (Edinburgh, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is the biggest waste of money ever. Part One "a general overview of living in Austrlia" contains such gems as "Australia has an incredibly high taxation system - a fact few people realise before they arrive in Australia". That's it, so what's the tax rates then , where do I go to find them? Or "Gaining credit can be problematic for non-residents. It is unlikely that any financial institution will offer this facility as a matter of course....". However there is no mention of how useful it is to get credit reports from your bank etc, in the Uk and take them with you.
The second section "Australia's Main Cities" I think has been sponsored by the Australian Tourist Board. There is apparently no problems in any of the australian cities, it is, if you took this book at face value. Utopia. Rents are quoted from 2005 - despite this being a 2007 print - so are completely unrealistic. I loved the coment " Metro Light rail.....is fairly limited at present , therefore it is generally only used by people comuting between the areas it currently services:..." - well, yeah, obviously.
I didn't buy this book thinking it would contain all the answers, I saw it as a jumping of point with ideas for good websites and lists of Before You Go's.
Save your money, Google "Living in Sydney/Adelaide/Perth", use Cityhobo and Australia Expat Forum and actually get some up to date advice.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointed, 10 Mar 2008
By B. Cumming "babsie2105" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
