Living in Australia

Welcome to Australia, the land of sun, sand and surf. With more than 30,000km of coastline, Australia is just like one big holiday destination. Kangaroos and BBQ's aside, Australia offers a great new lifestyle choice for your family, while offering some of the world's best education and healthcare facilities.

Whether it's a laid back lifestyle or simply the warm summer nights that you are looking for - Australia can offer a great change to the cold, bitter English weather. In fact, some areas of Australia such as Sydney see over 300 days of sunshine each year!

In addition to the great weather, the Australian economy is booming with a plethora of jobs available right around the country. The mining industry - the backbone of the Australian economy - is desperately seeking skilled workers mainly in Western Australia and the Northern Territory, but if you are looking to live in a major city then healthcare, public services and engineering are all areas which are desperate for employees.

So what are you waiting for? With golden beaches and a booming economy, Australia could be a great place to start your new life.
