This score was based on the education system, environment, friendly people, healthcare, crime rates and salaries. Overall Australia is a great country to live in with a very high quality of life.
A Fresh Start:
The idea of a fresh start in life appeals to many UK and Irish citizens. Who wouldn’t want the opportunity to meet new people without fear of judgement? Make new friends, start a new job role and move into a new community.
Beach life? City life? No need to choose!
Many Australian cities are located right on the beach, so if you’re torn between the relaxation and serenity of a beach lifestyle or the excitement and atmosphere of a life in the city, you can have both.
