Lifestyle Services - Life in Australia PDF Print E-mail

As someone who has been through the whole migration process I understand the logistics and planning involved in moving from one side of the world to another. The idea of starting a new life in an unfamiliar country can be very daunting.

You go through the whole visa process and then the “golden ticket” arrives. The euphoric feeling soon passes with the realisation that your dream of a new life has actually come true and you are faced with the prospect of packing up your life and starting all over again…then the questions start:

 
  • Should I ship all my belongings or buy everything new when we get there?
  • Do I need short-term accommodation when I arrive?
  • How do I get from the airport?
  • Will I find a job?
  • What will my income be?
  • Where do I go to buy a car?
  • What’s a tax file number?
  • Can I take my pets?
  • How do I transfer my money?
  • Where shall I live?
  • What’s medicare?
  • Will they settle?
 
  • Where will my children go to school?
  • How will they adapt in their new country?…
 

Does this sound familiar?

These are all questions that I asked before we moved from UK to Australia. I searched long and hard to find a company that could help me pre and post arrival and at the time I could not find a service that was flexible and offered solutions or assistance with the mammoth task I was about to face. It was even more difficult because I was still employed in a full-time job.

Online Migration is not just a migration company. We do not just assist you with your visa application and then leave you to find your own way through the whole relocation process. We believe that helping to make that move as smooth as possible will help you and your family settle here in Australia.

By using the information provided in our Lifestyle Services guide you can work out which phone company, internet provider and so on you wish to use whilst you're still in your country of origin - so that when you arrive here in Australia you are familiar with the companies that provide these services and can make an informed choice. 

We offer a range of services and have flexible packages so that you can choose those that you require and the ones that will take the stress out of relocating and help you to focus on making Australia your home.

I have lived on both sides of Australia. Initially Perth and then we moved interstate to Brisbane, so I am well placed to discuss the benefits and the differences between the East Coast and the West Coast.

I on behalf of all the Online Migration team I would like to welcome you to Australia and I hope that you grow to love this country as much as I do and make it your home.
