• As Australia is a sports-based country, you will find a lot of parks and gyms.

​​​​​​​

​​​​​​​

• Free Education is provided in primary and secondary government schools.

​​​​​​​

• Australia's targeted education policies help enhance the student achievement success of migrants on multiple levels. 

Disadvantages Of Living In Australia

• The high quality of life in Australia comes with a hefty price tag. Food and housing are expensive. A single person who migrates to the country can expect their monthly cost of living to be between 800-1,000 AUD, excluding rent.

• The average cost of owning a home in a middle suburban area near Sydney city is around AUD 1 million or 11 to 13 times the yearly average salary of a single person. Country areas and capital cities are cost-effective yet expensive compared to the average income. This can be challenging to be a student in Australia without a job.

​​​​​​​

• Obtaining an Australian work permit is a long and complicated process. It requires a "character check," wherein the government determines whether or not you have a good moral character to enter this country.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

• Australia is a large country with a low population. The major cities are spread far apart, making reaching there a little complicated. Due to this, you may sometimes feel isolated.

​​​​​​​

• The country may not be suitable for travel opportunities as international travel requires a several-hour plane flight. Due to isolation from the rest of the world, it becomes time-consuming and expensive to travel the world from Australia.

​​​​​​​

• Public transport lags behind other countries. The frequency of buses and trains isn't as good as it should be and not every region is accessible via public transport. 

​​​​​​​

• Native Australian animals, such as kangaroos, snakes, spiders, etc., can pose risks for those who live near bushland, oceans, and beaches. From August to October, birds will jump and attack you for intruding in their mating grounds.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

2. Cultural and Social Etiquette

• Australian culture is warm, friendly, and welcoming.

​​​​​​​

• There is not much differentiation in the class system as in other English-speaking nations. Due to this, Australia is described as a classless society that values sincerity and dislikes egotism and exaggeration.

​​​​​​​

• Here women enjoy equal status to men and aren't required to meet any ancient, conventional gender roles.

​​​​​​​

• Australia has various festivals and provides opportunities for entertainment - live music, theatre, sports, or even street food.

​​​​​​​

• Though Oz's culture is based on British culture, Aussies are less formal than those in the UK. Striking up conversations with locals is easy, and they are often willing to assist others.

​​​​​​​

• Australians appreciate humbleness in social interactions and business culture.

​​​​​​​

• According to the InterNations Expat Insider survey, more than 70% of ex-pats who live here feel at home and enjoy people's "easy-going" lifestyle and down-to-earth nature.

​​​​​​​

• Australian society values friendship, optimism, equality, and authenticity.

​​​​​​​

• Aussies love to spend a reasonable amount of time outdoors than working constantly. Even the houses are designed to take advantage of socializing and outdoor living.

​​​​​​​

• Self-deprecating humour is the norm here.

​​​​​​​

• Australians don't rely on people who brag or shows-off.

Meetings and Greetings

• Australians greet each other on a first-name basis. They don't use titles even if they are meeting someone for the first time.

​​​​​​​

• They shake hands firmly and confidently.

​​​​​​​

• Don't attempt an Australian accent if you are a foreigner. It is better to keep it simple by saying "Hi/Hello/" and "How are you?" when you meet an Australian.

• There aren't many topics that are considered taboo in Australia. However, refrain from discussing religion, politics, sex, race, or asking about anyone's salary, weight, or age.

​​​​​​​

• Refrain from trying to impress Australians, as they are hard to impress. Even if they are impressed, they won't admit it. So, please don't feel bad about it.  

Gift-Exchanging

There is a common custom to exchange gifts between close friends, family members, and neighbours on birthdays and Christmas and open them on receipt. There are no cultural restrictions on what you can gift them.

Aussies love receiving flowers, chocolates or anything special from the sender's native place. 

Dinner Manners

• Wear appropriate clothing depending on the type of restaurant you are heading to. Wear something likable than usual jeans and tennis shoes if going to high-end restaurants. You can ask the restaurant in advance about the appropriate attire.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

• It is etiquette to always visit someone's home for dinner with a bottle of wine, flowers, or chocolate.

​​​​​​​

• Australians don't switch forks and knives between their hands while eating. They hold the knife in the right hand and the fork in the left. After the meal, the fork and knife are kept parallel to one another right side of the plate.

​​​​​​​

• Please don't arrive at any party more than 15 mins late as it is considered rude. Be polite to everyone, including waiters and hostesses, so everyone feels respected.

​​​​​​​

• It is polite to ask the host if they need any help preparing the meal or cleaning up later.

​​​​​​​

• Wait for your entire party to arrive before you get seated and for everyone to be served before you begin eating.

​​​​​​​

• Don't forget to bring your alcohol and meat when you arrive at a typical Australian "barbie".

​​​​​​​

• Everyone should order the same number of courses so that you start and finish your meals simultaneously.

​​​​​​​

• Australians usually don't like discussing business over a nice meal, so keep this in mind.

​​​​​​​

• When out to eat with friends, if everyone's meal is around the same price range, the bill is split evenly, and each person pays for their beverage and food. When invited to any party, the one who asks you pays the bill.

​​​​​​​

• Tipping isn't expected, but a 10-15% tip is a polite gesture at high-end restaurants.

Social Tips

• Australians dislike littering and spitting in public places. So, even if there is staff in the area to clean up after you, you should throw your trash in the right place without dirtying the surroundings.

​​​​​​​

• Australians are loyal when it comes to relationships, especially among friends. Many rely upon the support of good friends than family during bad times.

​​​​​​​

• Showing up to a friend's home without prior information is viewed as impolite.

​​​​​​​

• Maintain an arm's length distance between yourself and unfamiliar people. Note that people prefer staying to their left when walking or taking escalators or stairs.

​​​​​​​

• Swearing is common in Australia. Aussies use a variety of colourful language in their day-to-day conversation.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What Is The Reality of Living In Australia vs The USA? 

While both countries share similarities in many areas, there are specific cons and benefits of living In Australia vs the USA.

Pros of Living in Australia vs the USA

• Work-life balance is much better in Australia than in the USA. Where American employees get approximately ten days of paid leave in a year, all Australian employees get 28 days of paid leave for every year worked and are also protected by federal law. While Americans get approx. Twelve weeks of parental leave, Australians get a maximum of 18 weeks.

• Healthcare is another major factor that differentiates both countries. America is known to have the most expensive medical care system. Not just healthcare costs but the cost of medicine is also cheaper in Australia as the country's universal Medicare healthcare scheme covers them. 

The big difference in healthcare costs is due to the US's privatized and unregulated healthcare sector, which allows doctors and other medical practitioners to charge as much as they want.

Australia cuts health insurance payments from the earnings of employees, thereby making health insurance easier for its employees. 

• Another significant distinction in the lifestyle of Americans and Aussies is that the latter has a well-defined and structured Social Security system. In the US, the FICA regulates the social security system, which pays old age benefits to its people once they turn 62. Americans depend primarily on social security benefits than their savings. In contrast, Australia provides an Age-Pension and Superannuation program that enables Aussies to save for their old age (9.5% of earnings between 18-70 years) and use these savings to live a comfortable life more comfortably than their American counterparts.

• Australia has a more laid-back, relaxed, and cordial lifestyle that doesn't demand attention, as commonly seen in America. This is common in Australia, where most managers don't hang out much with their subordinates. Australians who hang out with their superiors are mostly considered for promotions and salary hikes, whereas in America, you have to show better performance to achieve the same.  

Cons of Living in Australia vs the US

• The steep rise in housing prices, particularly in prime areas like Melbourne and Sydney, is a big concern for ex-pats who plan to come and settle in this country. The double-digit property cost growth makes it even more challenging for Australians to afford a home.

​​​​​​​

• The standard and cost of living in Australia are relatively high than in America or Canada. To some extent, it is due to the higher cost of product transportation in Australia.

​​​​​​​

• Geographical isolation is another significant difference between the countries and a disadvantage of living in Australia. Due to its location and distance from other continental nations, it becomes laborious for people to travel to and from Australia. The US, on the other hand, is massive but not isolated like Australia. It shares a land-based border with Mexico and Canada, making it easier to travel across borders.

​​​​​​​

• The cities and towns in Australia are separated by thousands of miles, making it time-consuming and tiring for people to fly to and from Australia.

​​​​​​​

• Unlike New York, which looks and feels shabby, dirty, and polluted, Australian cities are well-preserved, clean, unpolluted, and uncrowded, with greenery everywhere. Canberra has national parks and beautiful reserves. Sydney and Melbourne have great botanical gardens and are lined with beautiful trees.

Is Migrating To Australia Worth It? 

Australia is characterized by strong population growth, with total overseas migration contributing more significantly than new births annually. Here are a few reasons that make the country the top choice for most immigrants.

​​​​​​​

• The country's focus on skilled migration implies that primary skill stream migrants are well-equipped to settle into Australian culture and start contributing to the economy.

​​​​​​​

• The country's settlement services and multicultural policies, such as language support and intercultural mediators, help migrant students and their families to participate in the broader Australian society, gain employment, enhance their skills, learn English if required, and participate in the community.
