Key Prerequisites

Requirements

Essential criteria to consider before your move.

Visa & Entry Requirements

Australia’s immigration system is points-based and highly structured. Common visa categories include: Skilled Migration Visas (Subclass 189/190/491), Employer-Sponsored Visas (Subclass 482/186), Student Visas (Subclass 500), Partner and Family Visas, and Investor/Business Visas. Key documentation includes a valid passport, English language proficiency test (IELTS/PTE), health checks and insurance, police clearance certificates, and skills assessment (for skilled migration). Visa processing can be complex and time-sensitive. Our relocation partners can assist with referrals to MARA-registered migration agents.

Living in Australia: What to Expect

Australia’s cost of living varies across cities. Sydney and Melbourne are among the most expensive, while places like Adelaide or Brisbane can be more affordable. Housing, childcare, and utilities are key budget considerations. Australia offers world-class healthcare. Expats with permanent visas may be eligible for Medicare; others may need private health insurance. English is the official language. Understanding Australian slang and local expressions will help ease cultural integration. Australia offers excellent public and private schools, with international curriculums widely available in major cities.

Culture & Lifestyle Tips

Laid-back lifestyle – Work-life balance is a priority. Expect casual dress codes and outdoor social culture. Multicultural society – Australia is home to a vibrant mix of cultures, reflected in its food, festivals, and communities. Climate variations – From temperate in Melbourne to tropical in Brisbane and dry in Perth, climate differs widely. Biosecurity rules – Australia has strict import laws for food, plants, and animal products. Driving – Australians drive on the left. You may need to convert your EU license, depending on the state.
