Tips on moving to Australia from the UK | What I wish I knew!! 

Its so funny isn't it. But to be fair, we do like projecting that image of the bronzed Aussie Hemsworth!

you prolly dont care but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can stream all the new movies and series on Instaflixxer. Been streaming with my gf for the last days xD

@David Fletcher definitely, I have been watching on Instaflixxer for since november myself :D

Thank you so much! I was planning on making another top tips video soon so after reading this is I defo will :) x

@@Fantabbydozy2608 I sometimes feel like that with english people though (being welsh 🤣 ) But jokes aside, i really appreciate your response and thank you for your honesty of your experience. I have always looked at things through rose tinded glasses and have been called "overly optimistic" many times (which i sometimes agree with) so having a few years to plan and gather info and as many hints, tips and warnings are soo important. Ive heard that the higher wages over there makes up for the more expensive items?

@@Fantabbydozy2608 please dont apologise ❤ its not all about the pleasantries as i find that can be more off putting that the negatives,lol Im really interested in your experiences with the personality/social contrasts. I guy i met a few weeks ago said "he hated it as *theres no culture*, art etc" and didnt really appreciate how rich U.K culture was until he spent some time in Australia. I initially found it quite harsh and thought he was being a pretentious cock 🤣 But, these are his feelings and experiences. Plus, i have no reference to draw from so again, i really appreciate your comments and encourage you to disclose more :-)

@@Fantabbydozy2608 oh wow, yes road trips are what we're planning on doing, more for the natural beauty spots along the way. Starting at the Gold coast and eventualy ending up in Adelaide (or vice versa) plan is to take advantage of the free camping with the odd hotel for the first few months. The Marree hotel in the outback, its 7.5 hours from adelaide (in the middle of nowhere 🤣) but pays $900 dollers a week, free acomodation with evening meal provided.... figured we'd save quite a lot at this place. I have been told that Sydney is crazy expensive to live (but probably has more of the comforts we are used to in the U.K) You have mentioned that your husband is on what would be £68k Just wonder what it is he does for a living over there? :-)

@@Fantabbydozy2608 yes, thats another thing thst keeps cropping up is people feel isolated there. I dont have any family except for my son and most friends ive had have all moved away,lol Lost my Job after lockdown so I too have been skint and isolated 🤣 Brexit is starting to make things more expensive here too but nothing like the prices there... being a chef i Love the variety we have here, basicslly anything we can imagine and more is available. So im gonna struggle with this for sure. Also, whats your WiFi like? 🤣

Farm work? I want to move to australia and would do that!

No you can just get a job once you’re over here- that’s what I did! I haven’t done farm work but I think that’s only some farms that do that, you may have to buy food for some places :) x

@@MillieWYT Thank you for your help! Your videos are giving me some great tips! Oh okay I will bare that in mind when looking for an agricultural job X

@Holly J Don't even need to do farm work. There are lots of restaurants in Sydney looking for kitchen hand/waiters. Businesses could not get the workers because the borders are closed.

It pays! Some people choose to stay on the farm for much longer than needed (visa requirement wise) as it pays well so you can save a lot :)

As soon as the boarders are open is still such a good idea to move out here I personally think - the job market is still really good over here lots of opportunities if you did need to look for work! I personally would recommend either Melbourne or Sydney - I visited Adelaide and it’s beautiful but not as busy with things to do etc compared to the other two :)

Have you learned anything so far? I’m also 19 just left university as it wasn’t for me and have no degree etc and want to move there asap for long term

I lived there for 2.5 years and recently moved home to Ireland. I don’t have a degree and the last job I had I was making 91k a year in Sydney. Sponsorship is difficult to come by without being qualified in a specific field, but if you find work that is in demand you can get lucky. Off the top of my head the positions you can get sponsored in without a degree are Recruitment Consultant, Sales, Construction, Disability support work, chefs. Btw you can pretty much get a general labourer job in Australia with no experience

Yayy enjoy!! X

@@MillieWYT tyy!! Xx

No you can work on a farm whenever you want it’s just a requirement when you are on a working holiday visa if you want to stay for a second or third year :)

Isnt it poorer up that end.. like, lack of jobs and just things in general? (Trying to learn)

Yeah I just couldn’t deal with the humidity! I travelling the north for abit and it was beaut

Are you planning on travelling for abit first or getting straight into work? :)

@@MillieWYT probably want to have a holiday for the first month as its gonna take a lot of hard work to get us there. Then im taking your advice and going to do the farm work. Ive seen a Job post for the Marree Hotel that includes farm work (and cheffing) $900 a week, free accom an food. So we could potentially keep all we earn. (Also, are these types of Jobs hard to come by?)

If two of you $20000 is ideal if you want to get a decent car or van.

@@glennoc8585 20,000 Australian dollars for a van or van and traveling money?

@@wessley4606 both

Canberra, Melbourne, Tasmania and south NSW have cold winters, and older houses aren’t very well designed for the cold. If you’re thinking of moving perhaps get the weather app for the city you’re interested in and check out the daily temperatures in winter and summer so you can see the extremes.

We are not other countries. We have a shortage of farm workers and why not use backpackers? It's sensible. You also get an insight into another world you probably don't normally get exposed to. If you end up working say on a mango or banana farm, you'll have better tan than splayed put on Bondi ( which, despite our thousands of kilometres of incredible coastline seems to be where all tourists herd thinking they are in Ibiza on a summer break)

Large continent/ country has varying climates. Gee, shocking.

Haha we’re twinning! Defo a sign 🙌🏼

Sameeee

When a company sponsors you, it means a few things 1. Your visa changes to a sponsorship visa 2. You have to work for the company that sponsored you 3. Depending on the sponsorship you have to stay with the company for 2 or 4 years. It’s a great way to stay in Australia long term but it’s tricky to find sponsorship in certain industries :)

Thank you for this @@MillieWYTit will take me 2 years to apply for citizenship anyway wont it? :-)

@@MillieWYT im a Professionally qualified chef of 17years and have my BA HONS in youth and community studies (youth worker) would these be desirable down there?

@@wessley4606 yep 100%! Chef’s and any social work / working with children is a great way to get sponsored

@@wessley4606 citizenship takes quite a while! I believe it is 4/5 year minimum

Yes there are a number of different visa options which vary depending on what country you’re from :) take a look at the gov.au website

You can look for a job that offers sponsorship for 2 years! That’s the first step to PR if you want to stay long term or evening just 4 years :)

457 visa or PR with skills

Yes they will! I have a couple of friends who are sponsored in social work

@@MillieWYT i still need to do my masters but im looking into moving and working as a medical social worker. From Ireland

Just out of curiosity why do you say that?

What 😂
