Hi all, I'm currently on a skilled worker Visa (Healthcare Worker Visa) in the UK since this June and my nomination for a 491 in South Australia has just been approved, yet to lodge the Visa. Please I'm wondering if it is really worth it leaving my current UK skilled worker Visa for the 491 Visa in Australia. Please I really need to be properly guided. Thank you all. |
Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by FBS: 6:51am On Nov 16, 2022 |
Martiny:So to better "guide" you or provide better responses, you may want to be more specific in your questions or request. e.g., what's your current family status, your take home pay, loans, mortgage if any? Lifestyle Medical requirements, insurance policy, etc It would be easier to compare what you already have with some you may likely get if you decide to move. Hope that helps. |

I'm married with 2kids, they just joined me in the UK 2weeks ago. Accommodation here is not easy so we still hunting, no loan, no mortgage, no medical requirements nor insurance policy yet. I work here as a Carer, the Visa however gives health insurance and free school for children, partner can also work. |

Martiny: 1. Accomodation has gone bananas in Australia generally so for a family of 4 expect to cough out at least $AUD500/week depending on the area 2. It seems the 491 visa subclass does provide medicare and public school education - though not sure if childcare is included. Probably not as childcare is ridiculously expensive in Australia. 3. Apply for permanent residence after 3 years from the time your visa is granted - This may be the biggest plus. 4. The Carer thing is booming in Australia right now so finding a job should not be difficult at all. imo the major challenges would be accomodation and school for the kids also depending on their ages, plus its a temporary visa (5 years). And also the fact that Australia is far from "everywhere" - if you are the type that likes to be around other family members or miss home all the time - better to stay where you are now and build your future. Interstate travel within Australia is already a "luxury" not to talk of flying home to Naija every holiday. ![]() Good things - Australia is indeed a beautiful place at least in terms of nature, space, organised system of government - no different from most western countries but certainly not without its issues.

FBS:[quote author=mutico20 post=118470113] Thanks you for this information, May God bless your Hello, Please I need your help in choosing where to live in Australia.I came in to the UK last year on a tier 2 visa as a registered nurse.I got a job in tasmania with 186 visa sponsorship. My question are; (1) Is tasmania a good place to live? (2)what's the cost of living over there? (3)Are schools free for children ? (4)Hope non medical Jobs are easy to come by (for my husband) ? Thanks as I await your response. |
Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by FBS: 1:42am On Nov 22, 2022 |
Silentthinker:1- Any city in Australia is a good place to live, it depends on what you like. Tasmania is an Island and smallest state in Australia - rugged mountains with natural beauty at its finest. see here and here for more info on Tasmania 2. Cost of living is high (in Australia generally) but much lower when compared to places like Sydney (I always think of Sydney as Lagos ![]() Again it depends on your family size, your standard of living etc. Rent from $AUD300 per week 3. Which of the 186 visa steam is it? Direct, Labour or Temporary residence? Usually with a permanent visa, primary/secondary education should be "free". Childcare/Kindergarten is not. Medicare appears to be also covered. 4. Can't speak of this one (as I don't know what your husband does) but he who searches shall find. All about giving it your best shot. Hope that helps. |

[quote author=Silentthinker post=118579501][/quote] For fairness and equity, you should work with the company that nominated you for at least two years before thinking about looking for another state. The organisation offered to nominate you with the hope that you will work for them. While the 186 doesn't restrict you to the employer, it is only fair if you stay with the employer for two years as a thank you. To answer your questions: 1) Is tasmania a good place to live? Depends on your definition of good place, Tasmania is a nice place. If the organisation is located in Hobart, it is a nice harbour town but becoming very expensive. Relatively very safe too and not too crazy winter. (2)what's the cost of living over there? The cost of living in Tassie is increasing like the other states. Average cost of rent for a 3 bedroom per week is between $380 - $400. You can check www.realestate.com.au for advertised rents. Groceries prices are increasing by the day with the capitalist hiding under rising inflation to jack up prices of food. For an average family of 3 expect to spend between $500-900 monthly on groceries if purchasing in organised departmental stores. (3)Are schools free for children ? Public schools will be free for your kids. However each state has a sort of levy parents pay to support the school. Something about $500/year or less depending on the school. (4)Hope non medical Jobs are easy to come by (for my husband) ? Tasmania is a civil service state. Non-medical jobs are not easy to come by but he will eventually get something for sure. However, he could be lucky and get something good immediately. There is a sizable Nigerian community in Tasmania you can be connected with to assist you in settling down. All the best. |
Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by Prettiepearlz(f): 4:33pm On Nov 22, 2022 |
bellong:But this other employer that he or she mentioned is in the UK not Australia. |
Re: Living In Australia/life As An Australian Immigrant by bellong: 9:40pm On Nov 22, 2022 |
Prettiepearlz: Visa 186 is an employer sponsored permanent resident. The OP asking if Tasmania is a good city to reside indicates a plan to not reside in Tasmania if not recommended as the best place to live. I supposed that the question to ask should be about Tasmania and the city where the sponsored organisation is located. |
