I moved to Perth from Birmingham at the end of April! It was very stressful with all the stuff we had to do to get here but I'm looking forward to being in Aus forever :)
Glad to hear that mate. I'm from the UK. Looking to move this year to Australia doing engineering. I love Australia. And I love Australian's. You guys remind me of what the UK was like when I was a kid. Down to earth. Love ya
@@bigbob1426 Gday Bob, yes indeed... theres a few brit couples travelling aus on youtube atm, they have got vehicles and doing it right, as in taking their time to see the real aus.
@@glenod G'day!. My dream is to get me family over there on my engineering qualification. Then work me bollocks off to show I'm not trying to sponge off you guys. Get my feet in the door, get settled. Contribute as much as I can to your beautiful country. And show my kids what it's like and how it should be done. I want it so bad I actually feel sick lol. Can't think of a better country for my kiddo's to grow up in. And I'd give everything I have to your country to make that happen. I just want to contribute and let my kids have a future.
@@glenod want my kids to experience real nature. Real fishing. Real travelling. Real fishing/hunting etc. But I want them to know where it's come from to be able to do that. And to respect the place they live and be proud to be in Australia. I'm talking with a visa consultant on the 18th so fingers crossed 🤞. Thanks for commenting back mate. All the best
@@hadassah_abx Our life is very good. My new born is now 18 & I have a 16 year old too. We live near the beach & near shops & transport links into the city. The cost of living crisis is apparent but we have a rental and making it work. We are very grateful to be here and I know we are very blessed & lucky. Thanks so much for your comment 😊
Thanks . Have all this info is great . Have heard some of these before but a list like this is great . Also moving to Perth but we do have family so a little easier. Thank you
My partner and I are planning on moving at the end of the year to Perth and I'm so excited!! I know how stressful it's going to be I just can't wait to get over there!
Hi there, thank you for this it is really helpful as we are planning to move next year. Just a quick question about the bank account issue when you first got there, at the moment i do have an account with revoult ( similar like monzo i guess ) do you reckon i can use that for my temporary option to pay and receive money from my work ? Thank you in advance!!! 😊
Hey thank you for this video !! I’m hoping to get over to aus September 2022. What is the wait time for the visa like ? Im hoping to go in the working holiday visa 😁
Hey, the visa itself took us about 1 month to get through if I remember correctly! I did a whole video on our process getting over here which is on my channel if you’re interested ☺️
Could you let me know which episode of she’s in the money that she talks about leave allowance? I used to listen to this podcast but found it rather irrelevant to me but this episode sounds really helpful. Thanks in advance!
What sort of financial clout do you need to to get set up over there ? Would at 80k a year Job keep me and my partner afloat while she looks for work ? Obviously moving there you'd not be able to get a mortgage and get on the housing ladder so you'd have to rent ... is it insanely expensive ? Considering the UK mortgage and rental market is now around 1500 a month for a house where we are
Hard to say for sure as obviously depends entirely on your outgoings, if you’re saying 80k AUD I’d say it would be doable but restrictive - if the equivalent of 80k GBP then much better lol!! Yeah you’d generally have to rent. Again depends on the area & size place but I’d say the same sort of rate as you’ve quoted would be about right from what we’ve seen, in the areas of Perth we’ve looked at!
@Cat thanks for the reply! Yeah it's 80k aud.. yeah it's tough to get a sense of how much of a struggle it would be. The other issue seems to be the isolation from the cost of flying there or away from there - isn't it usually around 2k per ticket ??
i moved a few days ago and need a sim card.. but do not have an australian bank account yet! they only accept payment from an aussie card.. what do i do?
@@CatLScully they no longer open accounts over the desk.. I have the earliest appointment to open an account next week. its nerve-racking not having connection outside the house :(
Oh actually I used a SIM card called Airolo for my travels to the UK, which is an eSIM. I wonder if you could use UK accounts (or wherever is home for you!) to pay for an eSIM? Worth a try. Best of luck ☺️

Could you give me some advice! I want to move in 2024 :) at 18
Same I'm going Oct
as an aussie, its great to see people from the UK move here.

It’s called “Millennials are Entitled (to their paid leave)” from Nov 2020! Enjoy 😊
Invite a Swan River shark to your next party, all of the Lismore NSW sharks were washed out to sea twelve months ago.
How do you get the National insurance number? Is it after you get the VISA?
Yep after you get your visa - it’s the TFN which I mention in the vid & link to in description box
Do you need an Aus bank account to purchase a sim card if you’ve got no aus dollars? Or can you use a UK one
Nope that’s fine so long as your uk card works abroad & the usual charges would apply for overseas transactions

Am I ever moving to Australia? No. Am I still watching this? Yes.
Never know when it might come in handy! 😂
i moved a few days ago and need a sim card.. but do not have an australian bank account yet! they only accept payment from an aussie card.. what do i do?
You’ll need to head into a bank branch and set up a bank account!
@@CatLScully they no longer open accounts over the desk.. I have the earliest appointment to open an account next week. its nerve-racking not having connection outside the house :(
Oh they’ve changed that recently then! Sorry I can’t be more help! X

@@CatLScully I'll give it a go! Thanks for your help!
