Looks like Verabella has limited knowledge of Australia, her response/comments are too general and doesn't reflect deep facts about Australia. In terms of climate, from the Northern tip of Australia to few latitudes before before Brisbane is a tropical (warm humid, like in Nigeria) around Brisbane to the Gold Coast is sub-tropical (a bit milder than Nigeria). The Climate of New South Wales (NSW) is diverse, Sydney is warm temperate that it warm to mild summers and mild winters, but the southern part of NSW is cool temperate and can get really cold like -5 degrees, with snows in alpine areas. Canberra, which is the capital territory is like the coldest or second-third coldest CITY in Australia. Other cold cities include Melbourne, Adelaide, and Hobart, which are cool temperate zone. Don't underestimate the cold in these cities, it may not snow, but can be close to what you'd experience in southern England low lands/plains.
All Australian cities are clean and well organized than what I have seen in the UK. Roads are bigger and houses more spacious. Australia is generally more beautiful than the UK and infrastructures are way better, including health care system.
Australian wildlife is exaggerated than it is. Yes, they have some of the most dangerous creatures, including snakes, jelly fishes and spiders. However, the diversity of big animals isn't much, the diversity is more in small animals and invertebrates. As you would expect, the probability of you encountering a snake in the neighborhood increases as you go north due to the warmer climate and decreases as you go south due to the colder climate.
In NSW, Sydney center of business district (CBD, otherwise known as downtown in North America) and regional Sydney (~50-100 km to the city center) are the most expensive, outside these areas is way cheaper to buy and rent a accommodation. Be also aware that the east coast of Australia including Sydney usually experience natural disasters (bushfire, flooding, hail storm) than most other parts of Australia. Personally, I would choose Melbourne, Canberra, and Perth over Sydney. Also note, these cities are more affordable than Sydney.
I believe Racism in Australia is more subtle, as Aboriginal people were and still the land owners for over the last 50,000 years before British invasion 230 years ago and everyone else is a visitor or a tenant in Australia. So if a non-Aboriginal tells you to go back to your country, you can as well tell them to go back to theirs.
Will you save more in Australia than the UK, oh yes. If you earn 5k/month as a single, you will enjoy yourself in Australia and save more, especially if avoid living in major city centers. However, UK visa/immigration is more straightforward and quicker, while that of Australia can be complex and slower.
Just so you know, the salary package is not offered by all employers (so check with your employer) and you can only use it for key bills like childcare (I think rent too in certain situation) but definitely not for groceries or couch or their likes.
Omg Mathew, thank you for this!
This is so detailed and I enjoyed reading it,
Can I send your a message on instagram if you don’t mind, please help 😩😩
Certainly you can get a meal card on salary packaging to buy groceries and eat out, or you can nominate big bills like rent or mortgage, that’s with Eziwzy salary packaging.
Nice chat with you Deo. We should do this again soon ❤. Guys don’t have double minds. Australia is truly great.
Verabella, I'm so happy you have had a good experience living in Oz and felt welcomed.
I'm in Brisbane, we don't see many African's here but more now than 10 years ago it's getting better, more multicultural, when I first brought my wife to Brisbane ~30 years ago (she's Chinese) people would stare at her because there were so few Asians around, but now there are a lot of Asians, hopefully in another 10 years it will be the same for Africans too 🤞🏻
Brisbane is not considered "regional" for Immigration, Adelaide and Darwin are, but the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast are considered "regional" and are only a short drive to Brisbane, and also have good Uni's so that's something to consider for people wanting to study in Australia.
A small correction Darwin is not actually hotter than Sydney, Sydney can get 40+ºC days where as Darwin and north QLD will rarely get above 35ºC even in Brisbane it's very rare to get 40ºC, these areas are hotter than Sydney because they have more days above 30ºc than Sydney A warm Winter day in Sydney might be 20ºC but a warm winter day in Brisbane can still be 30ºC . The other difference is the Humidity when it's hot Brisbane will be more Humid than Sydney at 30ºC and Darwin will be more humid than Brisbane in Darwin's wet season (Darwin is tropical it doesn't have summer and winter, but wet and dry seasons)
I hope you continue to enjoy life in Oz and go explore different areas on your holidays
@@NurseDeo is there a group chat for people who want to relocate to Australia.
You’ve always have a worth watching content deo💙
Coming to join you baby girl, will surely reach out when I’m ready.
Beautiful nurse, this is an eye opener. Amazing video darling. Thanks for this Vera. I enjoyed this🥰
I grew up on a farm east of Perth. When i was a boy we were constantly getting poisonous snakes (dugites) out of the house and taking them back into the bush. One of my mum’s cats had a hobby of bringing live snakes to the back door and dropping them on the back door step. Those ones me and my dad usually had to crawl under the house to catch.
Thank you for this video. I have seen a lot of comments from Black Americans recently claiming that Black people arent welcome here in Australia - which is so untrue. Yes, we have racism but we are the most multicultural country in the world so we must be doing something right. Its nice to see someone correcting that perception of racism.
I'm glad you enjoyed this video
Would you say the snakes came because you lived near the bush? I do not want to live close to them 🤣🤣 do you think living in the cities will be better? Have you been to tassie?
@@NurseDeo yes it was because we were in the countryside. Never seen a snake in the suburbs although you would find them in the outer suburbs. I have been to Tasmania but Im a west australian and Tasmania is too cold for me. You get used to the desert heat over here. I have a cousin and his family in Hobart.
@@NurseDeo If Tassie is your goal, it is a beautiful place!! I have a sister who lives there. There are snakes in the bush there and there is a lot of bush! If you’re a fan of bush walking / hiking, then you would be more inclined to see them. It also gets very cold in winter!! The people are very friendly, they will be very curious and ask you lots of questions! That’s them showing interest. I’m only from the mainland and white as Casper, I get tonnes of questions!
If you’re in Hobart, Devonport or Launceston, you’ll be fine!
Black Americans have been programmed to believe that ALL whites are racist therefore, anything thats fits that narrative no matter how false, will still be accepted as fact. ANd what's even worse, we have "Our" ABC that pushes that vile lie.
unfortunately , the last people to see racism are those within ,,, aussies are as racist as any other people , aussie white supremist groups are right across Aus ,,,but it is getting better ,,, I see by your initial comment that you have to be white , and although Racism may not have existed in your world ,, the same cannot be said by a coloured or Aboriginal person in urban or mainstream Aus
You are very diplomatic with your comments and I love you for that 😍
Hi ladies. I really enjoyed your video of your experience living in Australia. Also Vera welcome to Newcastle. I also live in Newcastle. I also work with a lot Nigerians who've made Newcastle home. I'm glad to hear that your experience here has been mostly positive. I am someone who has mixed race including Aboriginal but I look very very white. When I have a shift with someone from another country I'm always up for a chat because I am genuinely interested in a person's background and reason for moving to Australia. I have to say I have the most laughs when I work with someone from Nigeria. There is a language barrier at times but it's fun for us to try work out what the other is trying to say. Welcome to Australia and thank you for your honesty and love for Australia. I look forward to seeing more diversity in Newcastle. We aren't like Sydney because we are much better then them. So I hope you and your family continue to live in Newcastle and love it as we do. Lol yes we do have snakes and spiders but like you said we mostly don't see them here in suburban Newcastle but they are there. But it's different in Queensland where they have a lot of pythons and tree snakes that can make their way into your home. Above all, always be aware they're there and mostly found near bush land.
This is well detailed
Thank you so much
How about Tasmania? How is living there like? The snakes as well haha
Thank you
@@NurseDeo you're welcome. Tasmania also has snakes and spiders. They're about but since Tasmania is a lot cooler than the mainland you rarely see them. I lived in Hobart for 4 years and saw 1 snake that was crossing the road near bush land. They also have some nasty ants that jump onto your legs and bight if you get too close to their nest. Again very rare encounter. I worked with a south Sudanese man while living there and he told me some things were horrific. So was glad he and his family found safety in Australia. If you have any more questions I'm only too happy to answer. Have a wonderful day.
Hey Ethan, you’re very kind. People like you make it easier for foreigners like us to easily interact and integrate into the community. I’ve lived in Sydney but prefer here for many reasons 😅. Thanks for leaving such a kind comment. Bless your heart 🤍

I found your comments on spiders and snakes surprising. I live in Sydney on a suburban block and in my home have encountered poisonous spiders and snakes. I have been bitten by a redback spider in my yard, had a funnel web spider in my loungeroom which tried to bite me, and have seen numerous red belly black snakes which are poisonous. You always need to be aware and take precautions such as keeping yard clean and no long grass. My grass is mowed weekly to reduce risk.
So sorry about that, I think it depends on the area you live in
New South Wales as I have heard climate is a bit colder and snakes do not like cold environments. It’s good you are keeping the grasses lowered. 💙💙
I live in Queensland's Lockyer Valley and I have Common Brown snakes and Red Belly Black snakes. The Red Belly Black is very timid of Humans but will attack and devour a Brown snake. I have encouraged the Red Belly Blacks for this reason and also there are no Human deaths recorded to them, they also keep the rodents at bay.
After reading this comments...am never going to Australia 😅...any place one can holiday and avoid snakes and spiders😢
Nice information, I am now considering leaving the UK for Australia ☺️
@@grantparfitt1565 EXACTLY!!! We don’t really worry about ‘where’ you’re from. Aussies care about your character. Are you mean? No? Good. Are you predatory towards anyone? No? Good.

Medicare levy is included in your income tax, similar to the UK. You don't notice it.
Why does everyone in NSW or Queensland assume it is always cold in Melbourne. We can have 3 or 4 days in a row of high 30s and low 40s. The only thing is that will be followed by a few days in low or mid 20s before it again climbs up to the high 30s. Yes it is colder on average than NSW in Winter.
Hi, ladies. I enjoyed your video. Please could Verabella send me a direct link to her channel?
Thanks For the information and i love your response to the question asked. As a teacher migrating to Australia from Nigeria through studies (special education)is it a versatile course that can quickly earn someone a PR? thanks
Thanks for watching
We are not immigration lawyers and cannot help with that, we only share our experiences 💙
God bless you for this timely and relevant information. What about a Medical Doctor moving from UK to Australia?
I’m not sure about their process💙
But I’ll ask my doctor friend who moved from Nigeria 🇳🇬
If youre UK qualified you wont have a problem. I was in hospital here in Perth for 4 weeks last year and there were lots of junior doctors from Ireland doing some sort of internships to get their Australian registration.
There’s a shortage of doctors as well as nurses in Australia, so you’d have no trouble as long you pass all the required qualifications.
We have a lot of Doctors from the UK. World wide really, the City I live in, Townsville North Queensland, our Hospital is a training Hospital connected to our University JCU.
Hey Mathew, Australia need Drs like oxygen, and you'll be compensated and appreciated VERY WELL. If I tell you the amount GPs earn here, you'll be shocked. Imagine when you're now a specialist. I know that there's an exam that Drs write, Which is tricky as it should, but the sacrifice is definitely more than worth it at the end of the day when you become a Licensed MD. I'm not very familiar with the process, but just Google search will lead you in the right direction.
Good pm sis pls ao much its caf exam did I need to migrate to new zeal b4 it can be done, ao pls do video on how to get work and visa processing thankd
Hello nrs Deo pls relocating to Australia from the U. K any medical test to be done, how much ?
My Irish mother was told to go back to Ireland. That was in 1959. The Irish were mocked and parodied in the media and jokes right up to the 1990s. Australia was very racist, especially in the regional cities. Racism isn't as open anymore thank goodness. If you go to some outback communities it is the Asian community that is targeted. Racism isn't just against people of colour but also ethnic groups.
Australia is now a multicultural society so times and people have changed in regards to attitudes to other nationalities, that’s why so many Irish people immigrant to Australia.
Unfortunately racism occurs in any country including Australia but less and less here as people become more welcoming and accepting of other peoples cultures.
Very true unfortunately. Racism continues to be a big problem is this country.
I hear you have to have a degree to practice nursing in Australia Is this true? Some o of us who have a diploma we don't get a chance...
Nurse Deo, can you network for us on how to get care giver jobs with no healthcare experience. I'm prepared to do training once in Australia
You would have to obtain a student visa and do a nursing degree, at minimum. There are also english language exams you’d have to pass to get admission to university here. The university fees for foreign university students are very expensive and, as a foreign student you can only work 20 hours a week. So you need a lot of money saved up to do this.
I agree with DG, if that’s your career goal, suggest you get some basic training where you live now. Coming here to study will be expensive!! If you have a qualification in this area already, it might then even help more in getting a visa.
There are a fair few migration agents that also consult to help you map out a plan to get you down under. I suggest checking a few out and see what their advice is.
This video pretty much shows that there ain’t much difference between the UK and Australia, pretty much similar system.
Guys Australia is just not the new paradise. Every country has its pros and cons.
Wherever you’re in the western world, simply look for opportunities around you and make the best of it
With all looking the same like in Uk , I will still choose Australian because of the weather and bigger space .
UK is too crowded and the weather is generally awful, 1 day over 30 does not a summer make. I choose wide blue skies, far horizons, azure seas and Warmth with a capital 'w'.
I think you’ll find there are some key significant differences in the two systems, with private healthcare insurance and private hospitals being very common here in Australia. That may not be immediately apparent to those unfamiliar with the Australian system.
You clearly haven't been to Australia if you think it compares with the UK . Everything is better in Australia, that's why half of tge UK wants to move here 😊 We don't really care if they go back to the UK. We don't actually need them. Plenty of people chomping at the bit to get a place in paradise.
Actually guys the name 'Toronto' is from UK and NOT from Canada - which itself borrowed it from UK. Toronto is a village in County Durham, England. Just google it !
I’ve just seen it haha, I think it’s more popular in Canada because it’s a city💙
The eastern brown snake is a bit of a problem in Australia and is responsible for the vast majority of snake deaths given it is a common snake and also has a deadly venom. However, I think on average only 1 or 2 people die a year so it is not that common to be killed by a snake. A funny fact you can share with people who are worried is that Cows and Horses kill more people every year than snakes do here and I don't think we have had a spider fatality for more than a decade. So if you are going to be afraid, be careful of the cows! Kangaroos and bees also have killed more people than snakes in the last few decades. A snake is more afraid of you than a bee is.
Most snake bites have occurred when the person didn't see the snake and surprised it. If you live in an area that is prone to having snakes, just keep the grass cut and make sure the garden isn't too densely packed so if a snake happens to be passing through, you can see it. They sometimes go looking for mice, if they don't find any they move on.
Oh this is helpful, how do we know the areas that are not prone to snakes.. I've heard big and cold cities. Is this true?
Thank you so much for your comment.
@@NurseDeo Generally if you live in an inner suburb of a city you probably will never see a snake but snakes tend to follow the food. If you live near a river or lake and you have frogs, a lot of mice, bats, etc in the area then snakes might be in the area if they can get there avoiding humans.
I've lived in inner Melbourne and Sydney for a long time and have never seen a snake in either city. A friend of mine lives very close to a river and he has seen a few in his lifetime.
I also lived in rural NSW for a few years for work and I was expecting to see a lot of snakes there but only saw one and I went camping in the hills very often.
The majority of snakebites occur for outdoor workers like gardeners, landscape employees and people who work in agriculture. It is generally not something Australians worry about.
thanks for all you do nurse deo. i thought they said australia is very cold
Australia is larger than Europe (and a bit bigger than the US, minus Alaska) So yes, of course there are colder parts, but even those colder parts get warmer than northern Europe in the summer and there are A LOT of warm parts.
@Nurse deo, if someone gets a PR as a nurse, will it be easy to get family members into Australia like Canada?
We are desperate for nurses here. You are likely to have your qualifications checked for a match to Australian qualification equivalence. And you may need to be prepared to live in a remote or rural region for a period of time as determinedby the Immigration policy at the time. But those can be incredible, life changing experiences. And it is not unusual to find people settling in the regional towns as they immerse themselves into community, which of course is why the policy exists. We are a coast hugging nation, because we have a vast desert outback. 85% of Australians live with 50km of the sea! So settling in a regional town brings with it pros and cons, small close kit community, good house prices, but this comes with battling drought, fires and floods, fewer school options and limited career move opportunities.
You MUST do your research first.
Sorry… the weather in Melbourne can definitely get hot …. We’ve experienced 45 degrees at times…. So it can Get Hot.
@@NurseDeo …. Sorry Darling, no snakes… way out in the bush land and only if you go looking for them, you would be lucky to see a snake at all…. We are pretty safe from the deadly animals.
@@NurseDeo a wonderful part of Australia… quite different from the rest of the country…. A bit more of a slower pace …. Cleanest air in Australia, it reminds people of the English countryside…. Great place to visit…. And a Cooler climate.
@@craigalden9416 thank you, I got a job there so I’m just making more research.
Do you think there will be less wild life? Like less snakes haha
I’m scared
What is the work life balance in au, how many weeks holiday does a person get in a year
This new government is promising a better leave package but for now You get mostly 4 weeks paid leave every year.
It totally depends on the company you work for. Each state and sometimes company has a different EBA (enterprise based agreement) so for e.g in Perth a full time worker working for the government is entitled to about 4 to 5 weeks if I’m not wrong. On top of that you get 10 days sick leave which about 5 of those are non cumulative. On top of that you are entitled to professional development leave, toil ( time off in lieu) etc. let’s say for eg you want to home for 7 weeks you’ll plan well and join those leaves together and you can be away on your holiday. Essentially it depends on who you work for but there’s plenty of leave
@@australasiafyyou also get Long Service Leave in Australia. Depending on your state after 7 to 10 years you are entitled to additional leave - in NSW after 10 years working for my employer I had 10 weeks LSL. You can use this leave as you see fit. One colleague added it to their annual leave an spent 12 weeks travelling in Nth America. I cashed out mine when I left the business - instant savings as I find the annual leave and sick leave provisions more than adequate.
I have lived in regional Australia for 56 years, I have seen only 3 snakes (out in the bush) and none ever in the house - and snakes never attack you unless you threaten them.

If i want to get visa and work as a nurse in AU, can my fiancee come with me and get visa as a family member?
Not even a new nurse just out of school in US will have to share.
Honestly depends on what you want as a person. Nurses are paid well IN Australia. The ones I watch on TH-cam are not sharing. I think sharing is done by students. Even the lady on the video, her husband went to Australia as a student which explains why he had to share.
I am looking for sponsor from Australia any one there?
