The health system is amazing here. You can walk into emergency with nothing. Get surgery. Bed for a few nights. No charge. Nothing. And worlds best care.
As much as some of us complain about our systems, I'm glad to be an Aussie. Been hospitalised four times over the past 3 years. Serious surgery, so many scans, tests,, medications, rehab etc etc. All happened ASAP & I didn't pay a cent (except the taxes I have paid in my lifetime).
Also know people that have worked for mines. Some just did simple things like drive a mini-bus between mining camp and local airport to transport workers and earned tons more money than doing similar low-skill thing in our cities.
We are the lucky ones being born here.
My grandson went ice skating on a Sunday morning and skated over his thumb and nearly cut it off. He was taken to the local hospital saw a specialist and was operated on reattaching his thumb by 6.00 pm that day all paid for by Medicare.
Ouch! Glad he's ok. Yeah, I sliced my index finger open near my knuckle just missing nerves and artery. Got stitched up the same day all for free. I'm absolutely grateful to get free and fast healthcare. Our healthcare workers deserve a higher paycheck.
I took my mother to the hospital for an iron infusion recently. They admitted her and did scans on everything and found a blood clot in her lung. They did an amazing job. I’m very grateful. ❤
My son in law is on $9,000/month in the mines, he's a fitter and turner. I work in a petrol station and I'm on $38/hr
your sil probably has the 12hrs shifts per day
@@barbarajoyce6424I worked 12hr shifts ,5 week cycle,2D2N- 5 off - 2D2N-5OFF-2D1N-5OFF-1/2D1D2N-50FF , which work out to a 35hrs week .
@@barbarajoyce6424I used to do 12 hour shifts when I was nursing in a psychiatric hospital and they were brilliant. Two days on, two days off and 12 weeks holiday a year. I'd highly recommend it.

@@barbarajoyce6424 Hence the $9k a month... 12hr shifts aren't that hard, especially when you're getting paid well.
I was born, lived and worked in UK until 28 then a few decades in Aus and I agree with them.
Kids might as well drink coffee as all those so-called energy drinks which are full of caffeine.
And cola
The thing about the towns and cities retaining their unique characters is down to a very specific reason: the place is freaking huge. All the major cities are hundreds, if not thousands of kilometres apart, and trust me, the climates (and therefore the buildings, clothing, even eating habits and recreation) are very different. July in Melbourne is a whole different world from July in Brisbane.
I totally agree, we take things for granted and whinge when it seems inconvenient to be delayed or something changes! Listening to them comparing England to Australia really sheds a light on how lucky we actually are! You should look up FIFO jobs in WA, I believe they are paid from $100-200k, and have few overheads, and now women can apply too - sounds good! Farm work is highly paid for short term hard work, accommodation and food is included - the big bonus is it's a great way to make friends and get fit! 🤔
About 200 thousand a year in the mines
We are number one at stretching the truth for a ripping yarn.
Hey from Sydney, Aus.
Firstly they for got the most important 1. Australian are the best at swearing, it is part of our language. Lol. Fuck yeah.
1. Lol Australia's health system doesn't do complex health care very well at all. Can't get into a public specialist for months, even years! When you're chronically ill, it sucks!
2. Australia doesn't pay their pensioners very well either... I'm a disability pensioner. I have absolutely nothing left after paying for rent, meds, and food. I have no savings, and have a big medication debt.
3. Caffeine doesn't stunt your growth 😂
4. It's not hard to make friends here at all 😂😂😂
5. Yeh. Alright, I'll give them that one.
6. As an artist, I love this part of Australia
7. Ermmm... I guess if you're an able-bodied adult you might be able to kick-start your savings... But it's not THAT easy 😂
The longest I've had to wait to see a GP is about 3 days.
I started drinking tea when I was about 8 and coffee when I was about 12. If caffeine is supposed to stunt your growth then that's a good thing, as I'm 6'4 now and in my 50s.
Having been to a number of nations overseas, I have to agree that Australian coffee is pretty bloody good in the greater scheme of things. Most coffee I had in the US was awful.
Most FIFO jobs are hard, hard work in the middle of nowhere and the pay reflects that. $60/hr or about $120k/pa.
As of 1 July 2023 the National Minimum Wage is $23.23 per hour or $882.80 per week. This is Federally mandated, not voluntary.
the medical treatment by a GP depends where you are, if you go to rural areas, you will struggle to get in to a Dr, we have a shortage of them in the rural areas, I can't get an appointment with my GP in under a month, they have shut the books to new patients and many of the other GPs have also closed their books to new patients
I have a mate working in the mines and bringing home $8000 a month
Of course you can get a blood test done in a short amount of time. Nearly every GP clinic where you go to see the Dr actually has a Blood Test Room in their clinic. They hand over what test you need on a form , you grab a number off the desk say 4 rooms down, youre called, they do it on the spot, then you go about your day. Literally every Clinic has a Registered Nurse Room( for injections, stitches, dressings), and a Blood Room( aust. Clinical Labs) in one spot.
Went to Canada & took 5 days to find good coffee & that was an Aussie exchange student .
We’ve moved quite a few times and have never found it difficult to make friends. Neighbours who introduce themselves, or we do when we move in, become good friends. We still visit two of our old haunts for their street parties - one Anzac Day (moved 12 years ago) and one Australia Day (left there 5 years ago.)
I was watching a video like this and the UK couple who had emigrated out here said they had made heaps more friends than in the UK. This couple above, in previous vids said they had a good social life, it took about 3 years to settle into Australia.
They have moved three times, finding the best fit for them - In Brisbane!
@@jenniferharrison8915Sad, I pity them! /s
@@geofftottenperthcoys9944 Are you being sarcastic? They are living a much better life in Australia! The UK is very depressing!
Well, until around the 1950s, most people that were here and came here, emigrated from the UK......it was a thing once. 😛
Easier when u have kids - u meet other mums.
Where they are seems to have all the medical services set up close together which is good but its not like that everywhere. Having said that Im rural regional but my clinic has a pathology nurse there twice a week to take your bloods and if I have to get x rays scans etc I can get in pretty quickly (within a couple of days) at the major hospital half an hour away. The clinic nurse will do vaccinations without having to make a seperate appointment. Have no complaints.at all.
It's mainly a rural thing if it takes a longer time. I'm in the western suburbs of Adelaide and there are medical centres everywhere (5 of more in a five minute drive...one is a minute walk away) and they all seem to have bloods, eye, scans and a chemist in the same building.
Except during covid I can get a next day appointment almost 100% guaranteed and same day if I'm not too late in the day 75% chance.
Once there waiting times are always different and are usually caused by the patients before me taking longer...but it can be an hour after your scheduled time or immediately.
I don’t know who told you we don’t make friends easily but they’re mad, it’s the complete opposite you’ll make friends very quickly if you make the effort. If you are stand offish you won’t.
One Aussie guy I know moved from Brisbane to Sydney and found it very difficult to get included and make friends. In places where there are more people newer to the area and not born and educated in that city, then it is easier to make friends.
@@christineevans6245 I just checked 18 RUclips posts and they all remarked how friendly Aussies are, your basing your opinion on one person. I think it’s the person not the place. A person has to make the effort, join a rugby club, golf club, soccer (nah that’s to far lol) find a nice local pub, introduce yourself to your neighbours, you’ll make friends very quickly.
@@lexsaunders1742 I didn't say Aussie's aren't friendly. I said it can be harder than you think if there are already established. long term groups. This guy was friendly but not into rugby, golf or soccer. He enjoyed more individual sports like tennis and squash. He ended up getting a good job in Canada where he made quite a few friends - mostly new to Canada. I've moved cities and while I still have my old friends in my old city, my new friends are also new to this city. People new to the environment are open to meeting new people and establishing friendships. In a new city, finding an established friendship group who are interested in the same things as you are and willing to include a new person is not always easy. I've recently been invited to another group by an old friend. It was interesting to see those who welcomed the new person to the group and those who were suspicious of this new person - me. I've persisted and now feel welcomed by all but it took a year before I felt fully accepted by all of the group. They had long established friendships and adding a new person was difficult for some.
Karen's Diner sounds like a Monty Python sketch!
It is hard to get doctors appointments unless you are a bit cunning. My local clinic always leaves a few spaces that are not allocated until the morning so if you ring at 8:30 then you may get a quick appointment. I usually are not in a hurry so I get appointments in the next week.
Not easy to get a same day appointment on the Gold Coast. However the after hours doctors are always there if required. The After Hours are walk-in - no pre-appointments allowed.
You can always get a same day appointment, it just won’t be with your preferred doctor. And you may need to go to a different place than you usually do.
Kids drink coffee because we have coffee flavoured milk, like chocolate milk or strawberry milk flavour
Can’t get by without my favourite iced coffee flavoured milk. ( Farmers Union.)
Working the mines is a great way to make good money without a lot of experience. The down side is having to commit to fly in, fly out. A Senior Constable police officer in the NT can make $165,000 a year. And thats base pay. If you work bush, the OT and allowances would blow out.
I think you would love Melbourne
Things Australia does best:
1. Cricket!
And 🏊♂️ swimming
And football
( all codes ! )
Young people out of training are getting over $200,000 a year in offshore oil and gas jobs. Equal time roster, so half the year off.
Lots of young (mostly) men have earned enough for a house in a few years in the mines.
Sydney has many small headlands around the harbour and rivers. Since these areas don’t get much through traffic, they can develop a village like feeling. Or at least they used to. Now I’m not sure if it is true.
Until recently, the Sydney CBD had a strict height limit, which made it different from other cities which embraced skyscrapers. So the skylines of different Aussie cities vary.
The biggest difference I saw as an Aussie when I went to the UK was the general price difference in food. I didn’t factor in the conversion rates when I went across I just looked at prices in their native currency. For example I found I could get a good pub meal for between £4-9 back in 2010, something like fish and chips, a burger and chips etc… the same sized meal in Australia would set you back between $12-18.
Ñàh that is bullshit bro, Poms (a loving term for the English) are instantly adopted by us Skippys especially in WA, SA and the NT. We love our pommy mates and will look out for you deadset. We have the same mindset and sense of humour... you can laugh at yourself and aren't too precious, we will buy you a beer at the pub and help you move house when you need a hand... maybe not so pronounced in the major cities like Sydney or Melbourne, but everywhere else the English are our brothers and treated as such. You will make lifelong friends I promise, don't believe the hype. ;)
i live in Melbourne and have heaps of UK-expat friends, i'm not sure why it would be any harder for him here. plenty of things to do where you will meet people and have a chance to become mates.
I’m a pensioner who bought a house in woop woop because it’s cheap. $90k for a 4 bed house and I live alone lol easily affordable

if you join in to things you will easily make friends in Australia.
If you find that the local swimming pool has "learn to swim" programs for children then take your children along and chat to other parents while your children are given swimming lessons.
Also if you get involved in volunteering you will easily make friends. Examples - join community groups that do some wonderful things to help people - and raise money to do these activities by holding BBQs at Bunnings (HUGE hardware stores)
Also visit places like ethnic celebrations in a park - share the food they sell there and learn to appreciate their culture.
Or if you have children then get involved with the parents who join in to do occasional volunteer events to tidy up the garden at the kindergarten their children attend.
The mining fly in- fly out jobs pay HUGE wages.
And YES the medical system is utterly superb.
The health system in Australia is not free, there is a Medicare tax levy for people who work and on top of that it is in your interest to have private health insurance. General GP visits are okay but elective surgery can take years hence the private health insurance.
Also dental and optical is not covered by Medicare.
FIFO jobs are usually in the mines, or large construction, usually mines as well, lol, and the hourly rate used to be great, but these days is similar to the city jobs, but they are doing 84 hour weeks, 2-3-or4 weeks on with one week off.
The wages could be anywhere from $2,500-5000 per week, but you have to work for it. Yeah, there will be people who claim to be earning $10,000 per week, doing nothing, 1 week on 1 week off even time roster, but they are either specialists in their field, on a very short term contract, won't last long bludging like that, or more than likely they are exaggerating. $150k-250k is achievable, but then they take out the tax.
For comparison, the bloke in the city doing a 40 hour week would still be on anywhere from $1000-1800 per week depending on skilled, semi skilled, or Trade level, and is home every night. Many marriages get sacrificed because people get addicted to mine money.
Check the weather maps for average conditions before deciding on FIFO. Many mines are in the Desert and get 45-50degC summers, which may also be 25-30degC days in Winter with minus 7degC nights. So you start your shift at 6am at -7degC it gets us into mid 20s to mid 30s during the day, and stays warm until 10pm. Many types of discomfort and you can't dress for the weather. Snow jacket in the morning, sleeves still rolled down through the day as per mine site rules, and a handful of hours stuck in the 'too hot for the jacket, or too cold to take it off' part of every day.
Some of my experiences, with photos if you want the proof...lol
-in Mt Isa 32-34C nights 42-44C days 80+% humidity. and that was in mid Spring, I don't think Summer gets too much worse though.
- Middle of Oz and Northern West Oz - 54C-58C on the thermometer although those are not official Bureau of Meteorology numbers, they were on Calibrated Instruments. The black sheath on the HV Cables were 76C and the front end loader tyre 68C in one place, 72C in the other.
- Nth QLD, 46degc day 102% humidity, I know it can't get over 100%, but you could see haze in the air and as the temps dropped to 36C the moisture started to precipitate out of the air.
Australia is not perfect and we could certainly improve many things but I have travelled to many places around the world and apart from all the tourist/traveller things you do, I try to learn about and obseve the regular people going about their daily life. All I can say is that I always come home with an increased appreciation for what we have here. And with everything that's going on in the world, I'm glad to live in my faraway little corner of it.
@ 4:00 I wonder how many Aussies like myself will watch this & say "That's the Ciggies Scathead!" without thinking.
The Australian public health system is not perfect, but it depends on who is in government at the time. If it is a genuine emergency, you will be seen quickly, but it can take a while for non emergency problems. A year ago I had to go to an emergency department and I received ultrasound and other scans and tests within half an hour of arriving at the hospital but it took 6 months to see a urologist for a non emergency procedure. My doctor, I can get an appointment within a day or two depending on how busy she is. I am currently on a disability pension and receive just over $600 per week and I also receive 50% rebate on my rent and 20% on utilities. I get 2 taxi rides per week and 2 interstate bus or train rides per year so I can go for a holiday. I rent a 3 bedroom house on a quarter acre block that is a 2 minute walk from a major shopping centre and public transport hub for $250 per week. Generally after paying my bills and food I am left with between $100-150 to spend on whatever I want, I can also get an advance payment up to $1300 per year or multiple smaller advances multiple times a year, personally I get a $650 advance twice a year. Yes, I do feel very lucky to have been born in Australia and the only real problem is it does get a little hot during summer. For the past 3 weeks the maximum temperature has been between 35c and 25c, Easter is going to be around 25c all weekend with a possible shower on Monday.
Oh! and another thing, I spent a week in Melbourne one day, be careful of what you wish for.
I clicked like and I live in Melbourne, good culture , weather and drivers suck
Its not exactly like how they describe it, there are some MASSIVE "*" to alot of those points they mentioned...
The mines "can" sound like a perfect scheme, but there's some big "***" attached to that, and I bet neither of them have gone and done that.
Healthcare is pretty good, and it also entirely depends on the place, too. Most GP clinics are usually set up to have blood-testing on site, and usually its a few days to hear back the results. But our whole General Practice Doctors setup is designed to provide people with swift access to things like perscriptions and early diagnosis of more severe illnesses.
...the biggest one I dislike hearing from them on was money...thats simply not true, and they are CLEARLY coming from a pre-existing financially secure place.
Almost all the people I went to school with, all the cousins in my family... almost NONE of them own a home. Most of them nowadays go on vactions "camping", because camping out in the outback is affordable! Over 70% of most Australians have no money in their savings; the "National Average" that "everyone has $1000 in the savings account" comes from the skewed statistic that the last Government did to make themselves look like they weren't tanking the economy; by including the savings records of the rich and mega-rich.
After groceries, rents, petrol, and other basics of living... most people are pressed to have enough money for Macca's!
Atleast, thats the perspective of this Lower-Middle-Class Aussie, living in Australia.
I mean you are not wrong on your points, but the money thing is about being compared to other countries. No other country does it better, we could also do a lot better ourselves, but being best is not about "the best you can achieve" it's about "being better than the competition".
Didn't he say the average $1,000 was America not Australia
Exactly. It's like when the media trots out the line about the average wage being around $95,000. This includes all the billionaires and millionaires. $95,000 per year puts you in the top 20% of all income earners according to the tax office. Hardly average. If there are 10 people in a room earning $1000 per week then the average is $1000. But if you have 9 people in the room earning $1000 and 1 person earning $1 Million the average for all people becomes $100,900 per week.
The Median or 50% mark of salaries is around $56,000. Around half of the "average". But that doesn't sound as good politically. Also recent studies show that a family with both parents earning the median salary ($112,000 per year) can only afford to rent around 35% of properties in the country. Australia also has 3 capital cities that are some of the most expensive in the world to buy a house. Melbourne and Sydney are more expensive than London when you compare Median house prices to Median salary.
Iv'e worked in the mines since 1988 and love it.
i am typing this in my room at Eloise mine site
i do a 2 weeks on 2 weeks off roster,the money is good ,the breaks are fantastic and i wouldn't want to do anything else.
The doctors waiting time is different from state to state.
The national average salary for a Mining is $105,278 in Australia. Filter by location to see Mining salaries in your area. Salary estimates are based on 14 salaries submitted anonymously to Glassdoor by Mining employees. How accurate is an average base pay range of $82K-$153K/yr?
It takes me 2 weeks on average to get a doctors appointment…because I go to bulk billing & she is popular. But you can get a blood test on the same day & results heaps faster than the UK (I lived in the London for 16years).
The job situation getting paid to live in really remote areas, mining towns…great for guys…but not always good for young females. Where I live…Gold Coast is not always easy to get a job…& my pay does not support me. It does not out way the rent & cost of living. I live quite frugally too.
I’ve lived in 4 countries…Australia has been the most difficult financially.

Maz & Ben moved to Australia about 5 years ago from the south of UK, I think. They bought a property in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Now they have moved more on the Coast. Easier for kids to go to school & sports. Less commute. They have embraced our culture. I'm looking at moving from the big smoke of Brisbane to rural Tassie. Oh the cool change I'm looking forward too. Because Tassie is Cheap! I love a good bargain!
How long did it take to drive there?
@@kramrollin69I haven't left yet. To drive, including the Ferry is approx 2407km or 34 hours of travel time. Brisbane to Sydney or Wagga Wagga is a solid days travel. Sydney or Wagga Wagga to Geelong is a long day & Geelong to Davenport via Ferry is the better part of a day 10 1/2 hour sail. Then Davenport to location (undisclosed) is 3 hours. If you were talking about Sunny Coast Hinterland to the Coast is only 40km's or so. The UK to Brisbane Australia flights are the better part of of 24 hours excluding layovers.
@@shaneb4612I'm Tasmanian, and if you think we are cheap, think again. Fuel, groceries and realestate is on par with mainland costs, with less income. Rentals are almost non existent. Goodluck 👍
@@leandabeeThanks for the information. I've found a few properties/land that are good sized & are cheaper than anything here in the SE Qld. For the purposes that I need it for, they are ideal. I've got a few promising side-hustles in mind to aid in my restart. Food & rent here are incredibly high. I found a couple of rentals in the Nth of Tassie that are on par with what I'm paying now, but have more rooms & space. It's been a few years since I went down to God's country, so I didn't know about fuel & groceries. I'm praying it all works out. It's years in the planning & hopefully, it works out.
@@shaneb4612 well, welcome 🙋🏼♀️, and I hope it all goes well for you🙂. You've obviously researched well, so all should go as planned. I'm in the South of the state 🤗.
People whine about housing prices but everyone wants to live in the middle of the city. Supply and demands means prices get higher if a lot of people want the same place
Yeah we Take it for granted
Coffee is very fashionable here now. Used to be a very big tea country but not anymore. People look at me oddly for being a non coffee tea drinker
Wow. I’m intrigued. Your accent, I was thinking, is at times very similar to some Aussie accents including mine. Makes me wonder if historically many Aussie’s descendants originate from your area in the UK.
I knew a ypung couple but was 20 years ago took a job in a mine making breakfast $100,000 a year but haven't the jobs dried up? Rents , housing and groceries were very expensive in W.A.I believe wages and prices have dropped?
The comments about cities keeping their character certainly applies in Victoria.
the minimum hourly rate for workers is approx $25.00 per hour in every industry
UK seems to crow about " the early bird get the worm".
We say, Who wants worms.
Minimum wage is currently $23.23 / Hour, but currently under Parlimentary Review.
i don't think it's difficult to make friends here - I've got tonnes of friends that moved here from overseas, some very recently. I think the key is that I met them all through shared interests, so if you get out and do stuff (go to music events, play sport, do classes or take up a hobby) you'll probably meet people with stuff in common. since you're already going to be going to some of the same places, it's not that hard to forge a friendship.
Hmmmm, apparently Tasmania isn't a part of Australia then. Getting in to see a Dr is almost impossible. The costs are way more than on the mainland too.
How u going I’m from Brisbane and we call people from Melbourne south sea poms there about as close as you get to British they even talk toffee pay in mines go from 1500 to3500 gran a week depending on the job you do
Average mining jobs at the oment I think are about $120, 000 to $140, 000 a year, and that not for some of the more specialized, this of course depends where you go, hours etc
If you visit Oz for 10 days to two weeks stay in one state. You will not appreciate how big the country is until you're here. Love to see how much you enjoy it.
Aussies are the best in driving drunk or been on drugs, no country is better . Good you mate !
Mines can vary from $30 per hour to $120 per hour depending what you’re qualified to do
Easy to make friends if you or your children play sport
i recently had a doctors appointment within a week, Went next door for my blood tests. All free
Out on the mines is bloody hot and middle of nowhere and buggerall to do food is good though
We have a new free clinic in our City where you can just walk in and see a Doctor if your Doctor is busy. They send your file onto your Doctor and they are open 24/7.
I have trouble stopping people from trying to be my friend. I like to be home, alone. So I don’t know where you got or believed we are not friendly when really that is just me.
My husband was FIFO for his whole working life. He designed and built things like Power Stations, mines, desalination plant, gas pipelines etc. Whenever possible our children and I traveled with him so it is very possible if he is the boss. Our children got a really great education this way and lived in almost every State. His last job was in Thailand.
If caffeine stunted growth, there’d be generations of short people from drinking Coke and Pepsi. That would be the case for traditional English too. Black tea can contain as much caffeine as coffee g for g, but how much ends up released depends on type of leaf/bean and how hot the water is in the brewing of each. A flat white in a school, which is generally what most students drink, is often prepared with water at 90C, reducing the released caffeine, also reducing scalding chances. That would have the same caffeine as black tea, and just a little more than a cola drink.
It's good money depends where you're at
Melbourne has over 5.5 million mate, What a city !
I mentioned jobs in the outback last video. But mining, I think the lowest paying job out there is $35 per hour.
1:00 This is why we can say " Hold my beer!!!!!". Never a good decision.
FiFo at remote mining sites pays big dollars but is hard on family life.
No, no money in picking fruit. HUGE money in the mines.
Slightly off topic but ... People below were talking about FIFO (fly in, fly out) jobs paying big $$$s. In Western Australia, there are so many FIFO workers, there is a dedicated terminal at Perth airport for FIFO flights to various parts of the state. I was astonished when I found out a couple of weeks ago. We flew from Perth to Sydney and were reminded not to mistakenly go to the wrong domestic terminal. Aussies talk to anyone so I can't understand how you cannot make friends here.
