Moving to Australia can be one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make, it could also be one of the most expensive. Currently migrating down costs on average around $3000 AUD, this is the government fee you pay if you want to move there. Then you need to start thinking about relocation costs, flights and everything else that comes with moving your whole life 2000 miles around the world.
The saving grace of the entire episode will be the cost of living in Australia compared to other European and Western countries. Home prices, on average, are considerably cheaper, and wages can be the same or more than what you’re used to receiving for your job. For example, electricians in Australia can be paid up to twice their salary compared to the UK and workers who have skills/experience in the engineering sector, which is highly sought after in areas like Darwin, are paid you can pay considerably more than the market rate. .
Australia’s immigration program is world renowned and attracts people from all over the world, countries like the UK and China are currently emerging as the largest importers of skilled labor to fill Australia’s skills shortage. The current list of skilled occupations has just over 180 jobs/occupations, ranging from those in the restaurant industry to IT managers. To find out if you are on this list you can visit the government website.
If you are lucky enough to appear on this list, then the doors to Australia and immigration to Australia are firmly open. Australia needs you, as it does not have enough local workers to fill these jobs, nor will it for any considerable future. Why is it important to fill these jobs? Well, to compete economically at the international level, countries have to grow, without certain workers this will not happen. It is comparable to a car with everything running perfectly except there is no water in the cooling system, this small deficiency in the composition of the car means that the car overheats and stops running. This is what Australia experiences when it cannot fulfill certain roles. On the scale of things they don’t seem important, or life-changing, yet when packed into a necessary machine, they are just as necessary as the most important positions of CEOs or CEOs.
Australian work visas are sought after prizes, however the Australian government must issue them or the country will be reeling. This is a people race and all the western countries are competing, for every skilled worker lost by the UK or Canada to Australia is another point for Australia. The economy is the new church where those in power pray and all are invited to kneel at the pulpit, the choice is yours. What is clear is that the climate will be more pleasant and wages will be higher. Call me an atheist, call me fickle, but I would happily change my religion for those reasons.
