✨5 Questions I Always Get Asked About Moving to Australia 🇦🇺

Thinking about making the big move? 🌏 Here are some of the most common questions we get!

1️⃣ Is it hard to get a visa?
It depends on your skills — check if your occupation is in demand at immi.homeaffairs.gov.au.
It can feel like an emotional rollercoaster 🎢 but using a migration agent made the process smoother!
We used and they were amazing!

2️⃣ How did you pick a state?
Honestly, all of Australia is amazing! We made a list: affordability 💰 (as much as possible 😅), family-friendly, laid-back vibe, and great outdoor lifestyle 🌿☀️

3️⃣ Is the cost of living high?
Yes and no! Groceries and housing can be pricey, but wages balance it out. We’re still much better off here than we were in the UK 💪

4️⃣ Was it hard to settle in?
Surprisingly, no! 🇦🇺 There are differences — food, routines, the Aussie work-life balance — but we quickly felt at home ❤️

5️⃣ How did the kids cope?
Saying goodbye was tough 💔 but now they absolutely love it here! Their confidence, happiness, and outdoor lifestyle have all flourished 🌈🏖️

If you’re considering the move — it’s a wild ride, but one we’d do all over again! 🦘✨
