Useful Aussie Info
Australia has a points-based immigration system that considers factors such as; age, skills, English language competency, qualifications and financial means. There are a number of visas giving extended or permanent residence in Australia including;
- Skilled Worker Visa
- Employer Sponsored Visa
- Spouse Visa
- Business Innovation Visa
- Permanent Residency Visa
If you’re planning to work in Australia and already have employment, in some cases your employer may be able to assist with your visa application.
Paperwork you may need includes;
- Passport
- Employment contract
- Bank records
- Proof of gender
- Proof of address
It is possible to open an Australian bank account from overseas. A number of large UK based banks operate in Australia. However, having an Australian bank account can reduce charges and avoid transaction fees. To open an Australian account you will most likely be asked for;
- Passport
- Visa
- Proof of address
- Tax information – TFN (Tax File Number)
- Employer details & salary
Australia has a four-stage education system;
- Kindergarten – 4 – 5 years old
- Primary School – 5/6 – 11
- Secondary School – 12 – 17/18
- Higher Education
Most schooling is state funded. Higher education is typically split between;
- Vocational Education Training (VET) which is often paid for by the state and government run employment schemes.
- University, paid for through grants and student loans.
Australian healthcare is a mix of state funded and private health insurance. In many cases employers assist with health insurance and many family healthcare plans/schemes are available to cover those fees. Many standard procedures, treatment and care is covered by the state system, however you will most likely require private healthcare provisions. This is something you should discuss with your employer if you are taking a position in the country.
UK drivers can use a UK license in Australia for up to 3 months, after which time you will need to apply for an Australian license and may need to take a test. It’s also a legal requirement to carry your license with you when driving.
Australians drive on the left and drive the familiar right hand-drive system. If you’re completing removals to Australia, you’ll find some roads ‘down under’ are vast, covering huge distances. Driving in the Australian Outback is a totally different experience, roads are incredibly long and roadside stops few and far between, so these trips require extra planning and extra water, fuel, etc.
