Hi Bob,
Wonderful site you have, great community service, and fun.
I am a Perth man, lived there though long ago. For personal reasons had to move from OZ, but “I still call Australia home …”.
I moved to OZ yoing, and from my own experience, I suggest new Australians better first move to a warm, low living cost small town – until on their feet strong, then move out for wider exploration in the job market. It is in these lights I seek your advice on the current situation on lowest living costs in OZ – when I was young, in Canberra I paid $16/ week for a self contained new, clean, modern 1 br flat -with a big nice backyard, and daily bowl of fruits and bottle of milk included in the rent: I guess, we can’t imagine that now for Canberra.
A young man plans to move to OZ, probably Perth or Melbourne. He will hardly have any money on him – one of those pioneering new Australian spirits, and I commend him. Ideally he should go to the cheapest town – even if country town. He will have unemployment benefits to start with, and after an initial oeriod of settling in (say 3 months?) will probably move to a bigger city where more employment opportunities are hoped for. Which town or city he should choose? He is scared of snakes, but also can not take much cold!
Hi Andy
Yes, you probably have a point. Everybody heads for one of the major cities, maybe some of the smaller towns might be better to start. But everyone I have spoken to about this tends to say avoid it, everybody knows everybody in some of these small communities and it is even harder to integrate easily.
Anyway, how does one find out which is the cheapest town? Mind you, at least most of these small towns have nice looking pubs, my suburb doesn’t even have one yet!
Hi Bob,
Great website you have got here!
I am a financial journalist based in Mumbai, with cousins down in Perth. I am amazed at the information you have on this website and the invaluable help you render to migrants.
I visited my cousins in Perth last month and had the time of my life in Australia. It was a bit quiet for a boy from ‘noisy’ Mumbai but I was in awe of the civic amenities people can expect.
I am 28 now and have eight years of job experience. For a person with my skill what is the procedure to find a job anywhere in OZ?

I’ve got a page about that, check out Getting a Job or a Sponsorship.
