The cost of moving to Australia should not be underestimated; it is not limited to shipping and removal charges, there are many other costs which need to be considered. For example, flights for you and your family members, plus the added expense of transportation from the airport to your new home. Are you planning on taking any pets with you? If so, this is likely to cost more than a flight for yourself as you will need to take account of quarantine charges and any vet bills. If applicable the transportation of any vehicles, be that the family car or a vehicle used for work, will incur shipping and importation costs, with import duty and Goods Services Tax (GST) payable on arrival. Not to mention that vehicles will be inspected and may require modification to comply with Australian safety standards. Last but not least, you will need to consult the Australian Embassy regarding the cost and type of Visa application you and your family members require. Ensuring that you are in good health prior to applying for your Visa is imperative but as a migrant you may be subject to medical tests and will be liable to pay for these regardless of pursuing your visa application or not.

Moving to Australia: About Adelaide
If you’re thinking of moving to Australia then the city of Adelaide, the fifth largest in Australia, offers something for everyone. Located in South Australia with a population of little over a million, Adelaide boasts a climate that we Brits can only dream about. Year round blue skies with winter lows of 16 degrees and summers of around 28 offers the perfect climate to enjoy the Adelaide Hills and stunning beaches.
Adelaide City was surveyed and designed by Colonel William Light in 1836 who had a vision of a compact city centre surrounded by plentiful open space. The streets of Adelaide are arranged in a grid encompassed by an expanse of open heritage parklands covering half of the city.
As the wine capital of Australia and home to a diverse cultural mix, Adelaide is an excellent city to enjoy an eclectic mix of food ranging from Asian fusion to Argentinean cuisine, accompanied by fine local wines in the city’s many fashionable restaurants. Be sure to sample the stunning whites of the Adelaide Hills, the Clare Valley Rieslings and the Barossa Valley and Coonawarra Reds - you won’t be disappointed!
Moving to Australia: Living in Adelaide
There are a lot of things to consider when moving to Australia, taking a holiday is an entirely different experience to building a home and a living there. You need to be sure that the place you choose to live will be right for you and your family and with Adelaide you’re unlikely to go far wrong. However do bear in mind that the cost of living in Adelaide is far higher that many other places in Australia but in terms of city living it is more affordable than Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.
Although a city, many of Adelaide’s suburbs offer country living within easy reach of a vast array of facilities via its first class transport system which has seen the biggest ever single investment by the state Government. The transformation and investment in Adelaide’s transport system which started in 2008 has taken place as a direct result of the record number of people switching to public transport. This transport network provides a fast, efficient and green timetable of trains, buses and trams awarding Adelaide as one of the most liveable and sustainable cities in Australia.
In a survey conducted in 2010 of the top ten Australian suburbs to live, four were located in Adelaide: Kensington Gardens, North Plympton, Sheidow Park and Highbury.
Younger people should look to Sheidow Park or Highbury which offer low crime rates and affordable housing with average prices ranging from $350,000-$380,000 respectively. Sheidow Park is located near to Hallet Core Beach and approximately 30 minutes drive from Adelaide’s city centre or CBD (Central Business District) as it is more commonly referred to. This is a location offering great family appeal with lots of first time buyers building new houses or renovating older properties.
Highbury is set against a backdrop of hills and close to Linear Park offering some beautiful views. Highbury offers a fabulous selection of shops, restaurants and eateries; good schooling and theatres are also close at hand. With fast transport links to the city (only 15 minutes by bus) and 30 minutes to the sea, Highbury offers a great base from which to work and enjoy family life.
Kensington Gardens and North Plympton are by comparison suburbs occupied by those with much higher incomes and are reflected in the median price of property which is around $615,000 in Kensington Gardens and $419,000 for a house in North Plymouth. Apartments in the North Plympton area can be purchased for around $300k. For this reason the average age of the population in these suburbs is nearing 50.
Kensington Gardens is a quiet leafy suburb situated within easy walking distance of the city centre and the Hornsnell Gully Conservation Park providing a fabulous location for working families. With all amenities accessible within a 10 minute drive and a great atmosphere it’s not surprising that most are excited about living there. Nearby suburbs include Erindale, Hazelwood Park, Burnside and Wattle Park.
North Plympton is located about 6kms from the city and the beach and offers a quiet, convenient and safe neighbourhood. As well as easy access to the cities state-of-the-art transport system, North Plympton is close to the airport, has great bike tracks and a wealth of parks for the kids. Neighbouring suburbs consist of Plympton, Glandmore and Netley.
Adelaide is a city which offers a truly family friendly vibe and definitely a location not to be overlooked if you’re thinking of moving to Australia.
