Living in Australia
Migration planning is not only a visa form. Think about where you will live, how you will work or study, your costs, healthcare, transport and the conditions attached to your visa.
Australia is large and costs, employment opportunities, climate and transport vary substantially between cities and regional areas.
Your right to work depends on your visa and conditions. Use VEVO or your grant notice to check what applies.
Access to Medicare depends on status and eligibility. Temporary visa holders may need or be required to hold appropriate health insurance.
School, VET and higher-education arrangements vary by state, provider and visa status. International-student courses should be checked on CRICOS.
Build a realistic budget for rent, bond, transport, food, utilities, insurance and initial settlement expenses.
Licence recognition and transfer rules are state-based, while public transport options vary by location.
