Why Immigrate from the UK to Australia?

The need for skilled workers...

A thriving economy and the need for skilled workers are just two of the needs that underly Australia's migration policy. Considered one of the world's leading immigration systems for servings its country's needs, the Australia government specifically targets workers from the UK and other highly-regarded countries, such as Germany, france and other parts of Europe, with its skilled visa programmes.

From the UK to Australia...

The migration process has become less of an unknown factor, with magazines and television programmes documenting how ordinary people can make the move from UK to Australia. In addition to the greater level of understanding regarding the process itself, there are a number of other 'push factors' acting on people in the UK, making them seek a new life abroad. In turn, Australia has powerful 'pull factors' which make it the top destination for migrants from the UK.

PUSH factors...

* High cost of living in the UK, from the price of petrol to the cost of
property.
* Lack of access to good schools and family facilities.
* Crowded cities and dissatisfaction with quality of life.
* Difficult to access high-paying jobs and earn a salary that matches the rapid
rate of inflation.
* Cold climate and pollution.
* Family and friends already moved abroad.

PULL factors...

* Long tradition of welcoming emigrants from the UK.
* Friendly, familiar, English speaking culture.
* Low cost of living, especially the cost of property.
* Great job opportunities, especially for tradespersons and workers with jobs on the MODL and SOL.
* World-class education and a great place to raise a family.
* Plenty of Australian visa options for emigrants from the UK.
