I'm glad I was born in Perth, Western Australia, its an unspoiled paradise where people can live their best lives, work and get paid well, have loads of fun, enjoy the thousands of wonderful beaches and parks., raise your children in a very safe environment and get an excellent education. Anyone from the UK should not hesitate getting to this great state.
its amazing actually mind boggling that in the 21st century that a state government even such an anglophille government as the one in W.A can still get away with virtually ONLY targeting immigrants from the UK...shouldn't it be based on brains, skills and experience not if you come from a single mid sized country on the other side of the planet😜
@@user-sp1ri theres a secret to this - british and hong kong passport holders were prioritised for processing by the department of home affairs via ministerial direction 100. Ministerial direction 100 also sets out the prioritisation of certain occupations but what it means, in effect, is that if youre a british or hong kong passport holder, AND you are in an occupation prioritised by ministerial direction 100, you will go straight to the front of the processing queue. By targeting british passport holders WA is getting applicants who will be prioritised in the notoriously laggardly federal processing system. And because ministerial direction 100 is federal it applies to ALL states. So that prioritisation in processing applies to ALL applicants in all states. A state that doesnt take advantage of that can expect its migrant applications to wallow at the bottom of the piles of applications. All WA is doing is taking advantage of the process created by the feds. For what its worth, that prioritisation is likely based on the fact that british migrants require less resources to adapt here - all new permanent residents get at least 500 hours of free english as a second language TAFE courses - which british applicants dont need - and the skill assessments are easier to do because the standards tend to be closely aligned. Put bluntly, british migrants are cheaper - and easier - to integrate into Australian society. Hong kong passport holder prioritisation was done because of the moral issues presented by the CPC’s brutal and illegal takeover of hong kong.
@@user-sp1ri Theyre not only targeting the UK. They go all over the world and try to import people. They were in Indonesia just the other week. In India a couple months ago. Its just playing to the local crowd. In Indonesia they play up the close neighbours thing, in India they say how wonderful all these english speakers are, and in the UK they say whatever they can to make the locals feel special.
Hello I've had the privilege of visiting your great city twice whent to Sydney 1 time give me perth all the long long day the peaople where so nice and friendly ❤
West Aussie here. Born in England, came out as a 2 year old in 1970. Perth has tripled in size since we arrived, but we do have a fantastic lifestyle. More laid back than say Melbourne or Sydney. The suburbs are built along the coast and inland toward the Darling Scarp. Public transport is pretty good - trains and buses run on time. We're sports mad, 3 hrs from Bali (closer than Sydney) long summers, mild winters (in comparison to the East coast) We are often the butt of jokes and forgotten about, but we don't care. I've been all over our country, but will always come home to WA. We are the most isolated capital city in the world, the city with the most hours of sunlight (on average) and at least a third of our population was born overseas. Come for a holiday and see why we love living here.
Your visits have been a fantastic discovery over the past week! I’m in my second year of primary teaching in the UK, and seeing your videos has made me see that it could be feasible for me to keep aiming to live out there in a few years. It’s not something I can put in motion right now, but I’m hoping that next year I can begin to applying for a visa and going about living there more seriously. Please keep the videos coming!
Im not from perth but i could understand someone wanting to live there. The weather isnt tropical or humid, its a very dry heat, sort of a meditaranean climate and the winters are generally pretty mild not a wet and dry season like qld although probly the top third of WA has the same weather as queensland. Down south around albany and esperance the weather is cooler.
I'm from Perth and can confirm. This was a great video. I think WA has the highest concentration of poms anywhere in Australia (or so I was told once :)
how does the weather in Perth compare to Melbourne or Sydney? What if a wanted to live in a larger, more metropolitan city like London, that is, but with better weather
@@AR-mv3zh Perth has a warmer climate. Melbourne is further south and has much colder winters. Melb can get hot in summer but the weather is changeable. Sydney is milder than melb but does get a fair bit of rain. Perth doesnt get the rainfall that brisbane sydney and melb get. Brisbane is more subtropical. Perths, weather is a bit more stable
Hi Ross, I've been watching your videos on Oz over the last few months and I'm more than convinced to make the move down under. I finish my training in the NHS in the next couple of years and I will definitely be emigrating to Perth...beats Scotland for sure. Keep the vids coming mate 🙏
Just back after 6 week stay in Perth from Ireland visiting my daughter. Its not as expensive as I was expecting especially compared to Dublin Ireland. Hotels alot cheaper and wine most definitely lol. As I retired recently and still under 50 I am seriously considering the move. It really was vastly better than living in Europe.
Honestly I'll be okay with moving from America to there, I love all people, I'd be okay working in a Super market or something man especially getting to work with communities with the churches
I was born & raised in Perth & grew up loving the beach & outdoors life and even in my teens rented an apartment in Scarborough with my mates & they were awesome memories of surfing/road bikes/trail bikes & panel vans, pubs & live pub bands & georgeous women. I am now married to my soulmate a gorgious vibrant outgoing & funny English girl from Cornwell UK who who idolises Perth and our lifestyle (and she idolises me of course). She loves the laid back Aussie guy attitude where nothing fusses us and our chilled out attitude to life but we still work hard to achieve success We now live near not far from Hillarys Marina in a big house (land 1,300m2) with pool & bali style backyard and a double garage & a workshop with a hoist for my classic cars, we have a 4wd & a caravan and still love our camping trips away up and down the WA coast (even lived in Broome for 3yrs). In 1hr 15min we can be in awesome Lancelin for a weekend gettaway sitting at the tavern on the lawn on the beach watching the sunset or having fun in our 4wd on the sand dunes or just soaking up the stunning beaches. In 1hr 15min we can be back home. I/we have travelled extensively and there are great places to holiday within Austalia & overseas, but in the end you can't beat the lifestyle here for your base for day to day living & working. Our favourite local getaway places to drive to easily are Dunsborough, lancelin, Kalbarri. Longer trips by car are Albany, Esperance (best beaches on this planet), Exmouth & Coral Bay
What would be some good advice for an American wanting to move to Australia, how do you think the prices will change in the next decade or so? (Love your videos) 👍👍
Our economy is pretty well tied to the USA. The good part is we are “on delay” behind america so we have the opportunity to ease any problems. For instance when the GFC hit we had enough time to react and it barely affected us.
As a Australian. Western Australia is very large. Perth is a clean well developed state. Very good living standard. Even to U.S standards. Australian wages high . All workers have a mandatory 401K paid by employers. Minimum About 10%.But it's one of most isolated cities in the world 🌎 and l dont live there but have been there !...
Remember we don't have to tip people to help cover their wages here and we don't have stupid taxes ontop of the price of items we purchase because it's included in the price of everything. Some items at the grocery store have different names but if you describe what your after it shouldn't be a problem for a sales person to help you find what you're looking for. After all we with way to much American TV shows and know what your talking about.
Ohh, I'm from Perth. Parents born in England. There are honestly so many brits in Perth, it would easily be the most British city in the country. Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane are far more interesting and fun, especially if you're young. But Perth has amazing wages and it's affordable. It has a bit of a different mentality to the rest of the country, like the idea of privatising assets is completely taboo in WA. The gov also reserves 10% of LNG for domestic use, so my quarterly gas bill was never more than $17. WA very much sees itself as part of Australia but just a bit different to the rest of the country. Plus you can easily fly to Bali or Singapore for the weekend for $200 return.
A very useful video, I am a media college teacher in the UK, but I have started looking at a career in Australia doing the same thing, but I like the idea of a change and a fresh start.
Been your follower for almost a year now. Hoping for you to make a video on how to apply or where to look for a house to rent and how to look for a job in Australia as migrants. Planning to migrate there.
I've been watching your videos for a while now, and I've just realised you're from Reading. I live in the same place, I migrated here a couple of years ago. However, England has been changing a lot, and not in a good way. I've been contemplating the idea of moving to Australia as soon as I finish my degree in engineering. Hopefully, I'll find a way to migrate as a graduate! Thanks for your vídeos. The information is very helpful and yes, train fares from Reading to London make no sense 🤣
The best thing you can do is join an engineering consultancy company in the UK like Jacobs, Atkins, Mott Macdonald. etc and get a couple of years experience then either transfer out with said company or apply to Australian based jobs from the UK. They will bite your hand off as they are so desperate for people. I am not an engineer but work for a engineering consultancy in the UK and I have two options to go to Australia this year, one with my current employer and one for a new place. I have 20 years experience though
I’m starting my Occupational Therapy degree this Sept (UK) and this is making me so much more hopeful about my future. And even though I’ve been born and bred here in the UK, I think it’s time to explore the world, once I’ve qualified/graduated obviously lmao.
Im a year 2 OT student hoping to emigrate once ive got 1/2 year post grad experience :) i retraining with a toddler for a better life & i love OT so much better than nursing! X
You should do it! I'd suggest researching where there is a need for occupational therapists or workers in general and not just in Australia. Therefore, you have many options when you graduate and begin looking for jobs abroad! I plan to apply for social work positions once I graduate with my master's, not just where I'll be studying but in New Zealand too. Good luck!
@@elozzaa7456 If you can afford it you would do better to apply for a student visa to do your studies in Australia. Gives you a direct in and work experience. That leads to a permanent residence visa if you can get a job after you finish your studies. For an occupational therapy graduate that would be easy. Downside is the potential costs. Student visa allows you to work up to 20 hours per week but you may be able to get a variation on that because I understand students in occupational therapy do compulsory work experience in the hospitals. The big advantage is that if you are a resident and you apply on the skills list your application gets priority. Occupational therapists are now on the skills shortage list in WA but that changes. It may change by the time you graduate. That probably applies in all the other states and territories too. Difference is that WA is a bit less expensive to live and its universities enjoy a high reputation. Brisbane is probably the closest competition to Perth when it comes to balancing living costs and university quality. Id post the skill list link but if I do youtube will delete this comment.
@@tileux thank you for your reply! im already half way through my studies in the UK, so i pretty much only have 1 year left now & rely on student finance & 0 hour contract at a MH hospital, as an OT graduate can i apply as a NQ OT or will i need experience? Thank you
@Glen Plant I’ve emailed a few companies who don’t offer sponsorship and according to tru blue migration my transport managers Uk qualification is not enough to get PR I’m baffled to be honest
I am a Brit, Australian living in the US. I love Australia, and lived there for 10 years. I was however shocked and very disappointed by how the Australian government treated Australians during covid, particularly Australians like myself, who didn't want to be injected with dangerous untested poisons made by corrupt American criminal pharmaceutical companies.
@@antdavis3843 but your "truth" is just propaganda at the end of the day, think about it for a second why would corrupt corporations want to quote "use untested poisons." When we are one of their most valuable recourse to them. Country's with larger population tend to pay less for labour so lowing the population would just be stupid.
The Northern territory are looking for people in Ireland to come .I spent 6 months in Qld in 2017 .Enough time to access Australia has become a Police state and the measures during Covid reinforced that belief .
Because Perth summers are hot and dry, evaporative cooling systems are popular and effective there and very cheap to run. But don't try it in Brisbane.
I’d make the move but the hoops Oz wants electrician to jump through are ridiculous considering (from what I’ve heard and read) the standards we work to over here (UK) are better than over there
I’ve watched a lot of your videos on moving to Australia, but could you try make a video on what it would be like to move in your 20’s or for young people! I’ve dreamed about Oz for a long time but there are a lot of aspects that are different to money and jobs that come into play when you’re creating a new rest of your life at a young age
From what I’ve seen they still haven’t offered invites for EOI to offshore applicants yet this financial year.sooner they grant my 189 they will have another mechanic in Perth 😊
Each state is slightly different mate....We have HECS (Higher Education Contribution Scheme) in NSW. You borrow money for your course & pay it back little by little once you start working, but this would only be available to aussie citizens...the price of courses differ...
Hi! My husband is a secondary school history teacher. He is finding it difficult to find history specific jobs in WA and it seems to be subsumed under a subject HASS. Do you know if there is many opportunities for secondary school history teachers in WA?
A lot of schools do HASS until senior then they may offer History separately. I'd advise to look to offer history and another subject. It's common in Australia to be able to teach multiple subjects
Originally from Wales living in Perth WA , trade mechanic / fitter working FIFO $75 per hour , $4000 dollars per week after tax , 7/7 Roster , rent a beautiful apartment in perth $525 per week
@@ryanbell4952Australia Govt has declared its first offshore wind zone in Bass Strait near Melbourne.. 2nd and 3rd offshore wind zones being considered off the Newcastle and the Illawarra ( both either side of Sydney). Would assume there will be great work opportunities in the near future. The Bass Strait one may offer work for Engineers very soon as it will be going into the design phase.
I'm not really sure where all these ppl are gonna live cos we have a huge lack of housing...due to a lack of tradies...but yeah Perth is a pretty sweet place to live 😁
I was one of those head hunted to come to Perth it’s fabulous pity they don’t sort out the red tape of the paperwork! Cost of living is higher here you will spend a lot more on food like 25% at least but gas and electric is cheaper and petrol is cheaper Im no better off being here really
Hi! My husband is a secondary school history teacher. He is finding it difficult to find history specific jobs in WA and it seems to be subsumed under a subject HASS. Do you know if there is many opportunities for secondary school history teachers in WA? 4:24
There are some, but most of the time it is HASS. I was a geography HOD now I teach English full time. The question isn't how much do you love your subject, but how much do you want to live in Australia?
They choose Perth probably because it is closer to England and the furthest capital away from the rest of Australia! My English born, Aussie raised sister, was shocked at the number of Poms living in Perth when she went to live there with her Aussie husband for his work for seven years.
@@ThatJohnstonLife Yes there are, but considering the small population of Perth, there are a lot of English there. In the 2021 Government Census the top countries of birth in Greater Perth were Australia, then England (169,938), New Zealand, South Africa and Scotland. The top ancestries were English followed by Australia, Irish, Scottish and Italian.
East coast is extremely humid. Further north you go the more humid it gets because northern australia is subtropical. West coast is dry and is often described as "mediterranean" weather. Can be hot and dry during the day and cool at night. Perth itself is the sunniest capital city in the world (thats official). Its also one of the windiest - second or third in the world. Again WA is subtropical in the north. WA also experiences extreme trade winds in the north during summer (due to the immense heat rising off the deserts). Its those tradewinds that the Dutch used to get to their colonial holdings in Indonesia, so WA has many historical dutch shipwrecks (including the infamous Batavia wreck on the Houtman Abrolhos islands). The further inland you go the hotter it gets. That applies right around Australia. When I say hot, I mean turn your oven up to its hottest setting for an hour then open its door and stand in front of it. Its that kind of heat. In NSW and queensland you can add drippy humidity to that misery. On the flip side winters are never really cold - except in the south east states. Tasmania is cooler more temperate climate - can be very cold and gets snow in places. Quite rainy too. Its very close to Antarctica and that shows Southern coast of Australia - from south australia across victoria tends to vary from cold to hot, with rain interspersed. Further east you go the more humid it tends to be when warm. Melbourne sometimes experiences that all in one day. As you go inland towards canberra from Melbourne you get into the Australian Alps. As it sounds that can be very very cold -especially at night - and experiences snow. Canberra is frequiently below ) celsius at night (as are many desert regions), especially in winter. Ive seen lots of tourists make the mistake of thinking Australia is hot and then freeze in Canberra. Overall, hot days tend to be hotter than other countries. ps if you are soon to be living here remember to ALWAYS wear a hat in the sun. Ive seen lots of heat casualties over the years and dopey european tourists regularly die from heat stroke here because they dont know the basics of dealing with the sun and heat. In WA and parts of the north the sun will give you 3rd degree burns in about 10 minutes if youre pale and you dont use cream or cover up. Its not as extreme elsewhere.
best weather is around Perth in the southwest. Med climate, and not humid. East Coast is good too (around Sunshine Coast & Gold Coast), warmer water, but high in humidity. Perth area is flat with dry vegetation, whilst the East Coast has mountains and is more green.
I live in W. A. having moved from S. A. 50 years ago. There is everything here that you can find in other states just maybe less in numbers. e.g. 3 instead of 6. It doesn't feel isolated living here because we have it all as well as things and scenery you won't find anywhere else. A great place for bringing up children. W.A. has a very relaxed life style generally and I think the work/life balance is better than the eastern states. Oh yes! about three quarters of us are Australian.
Ik the truth and I still live here the uk is fucked that’s why I wanna move to Australia and all that about the criminal past at the end of the day were all humans and were all equal it’s nothing to do with them as the day to day working man as it is ours everyone is a different individual with different views and I’m racist towards no one and I love how clean Australia is I love the sea life growing up around it like and it hurts me to see them struggling due to rubbish being fly tipped so I’d love to swim with the turtles sharks etc but I’d also love to help save them
Sever. 0.5% vacancy rate. Its absolutely stuffed and the last thing we need is more migrants. So of course the government, who are all landlords, decide we need mass immigration.
Would appreciate you fixing your map to remove The Republic of Ireland. After being forcibly integrated into the UK it took us many centuries to forcibly remove ourselves. Thanks
Thanks for pointing that out Vincent, as a former perfectionist Geography teacher, I now see the error in my ways. Hopefully the new map is more to your liking
Why? W.A. has lots of them! I think it's because the climate is very similar and it's closer to South Africa if they want a trip back. It does take a while for many of them to get used to our Aboriginal people. They are not servants here.
The only spider that can kill you is the funnel web. The horses are the #1 killer in Australia, followed by cattle, then dogs and kangaroos at equal third.
The worst thing about living in Australia would be knowing that you're from the United Kingdom. It must be so weird. You wake up in the morning, you're white and you're on the other side of the planet.
Excellent video👍👍🎯 From my experience,we have it SO good here. Our lifestyle & our stunning landscape & waters. Our indigenous culture & history😎 Our wildlife is another huge bonus. The UK is bloody picturesque indeed & the poms are fantastic,but living there 🤔.. yeah nah thx. 🇦🇺🪃 ❤
@@Fish29077 Except that coal has taken over AGAIN as Australias big export dollar earner now iron ore has slumped back to realistic levels. Other states now make more than WA as they have historicaly. WA has gone bankrupt twice in the last 20 years and has had to be bailed out by the East. A fact that most lollypops in WA dont know. I personaly think the East should just let WA go bust again and just let it go. Just like how WA wants it. The Chinese could just mine it out and then use it as a garbage tip.
I'm glad I was born in Perth, Western Australia, its an unspoiled paradise where people can live their best lives, work and get paid well, have loads of fun, enjoy the thousands of wonderful beaches and parks., raise your children in a very safe environment and get an excellent education.

The best thing you can do is join an engineering consultancy company in the UK like Jacobs, Atkins, Mott Macdonald. etc and get a couple of years experience then either transfer out with said company or apply to Australian based jobs from the UK. They will bite your hand off as they are so desperate for people. I am not an engineer but work for a engineering consultancy in the UK and I have two options to go to Australia this year, one with my current employer and one for a new place. I have 20 years experience though
@MrCraptakular very useful information, thanks for that! I'll try my best to find a place in one of these companies.
I’m starting my Occupational Therapy degree this Sept (UK) and this is making me so much more hopeful about my future.
And even though I’ve been born and bred here in the UK, I think it’s time to explore the world, once I’ve qualified/graduated obviously lmao.
Im a year 2 OT student hoping to emigrate once ive got 1/2 year post grad experience :) i retraining with a toddler for a better life & i love OT so much better than nursing! X
@@elozzaa7456 omfg OT truly is underrated imo. That’s so lovely to hear, I’m glad for you! Best of luck with everything!! 💙 😭
You should do it! I'd suggest researching where there is a need for occupational therapists or workers in general and not just in Australia. Therefore, you have many options when you graduate and begin looking for jobs abroad! I plan to apply for social work positions once I graduate with my master's, not just where I'll be studying but in New Zealand too. Good luck!
@@elozzaa7456 If you can afford it you would do better to apply for a student visa to do your studies in Australia. Gives you a direct in and work experience. That leads to a permanent residence visa if you can get a job after you finish your studies. For an occupational therapy graduate that would be easy. Downside is the potential costs. Student visa allows you to work up to 20 hours per week but you may be able to get a variation on that because I understand students in occupational therapy do compulsory work experience in the hospitals. The big advantage is that if you are a resident and you apply on the skills list your application gets priority.
Occupational therapists are now on the skills shortage list in WA but that changes. It may change by the time you graduate. That probably applies in all the other states and territories too. Difference is that WA is a bit less expensive to live and its universities enjoy a high reputation. Brisbane is probably the closest competition to Perth when it comes to balancing living costs and university quality. Id post the skill list link but if I do youtube will delete this comment.
@@tileux thank you for your reply! im already half way through my studies in the UK, so i pretty much only have 1 year left now & rely on student finance & 0 hour contract at a MH hospital, as an OT graduate can i apply as a NQ OT or will i need experience? Thank you
Keeping the dream alive mate. Appreciate you
Appreciate you too
My husband has his final interview for transferring to WA next month.
Good luck!
My powerbills here in the west are smeg all, around 250 a quarter for a 3 bedroom house (2 adults) with 2 aircons!
Can’t wait to move to Perth, I have not seen any city that is more beautiful!!!
Been to Brisbane?
Perth needs more trees/ shade
@@ThatJohnstonLife on the bucket list!
Agreed.
@@ThatJohnstonLife Sorry Ross, Brisbane has nothing on Perth. Perth is stunning.
You know you're really becoming a local when you use the "just waiting for a mate" clip in your video 🤣

This is where me and my partner want to go currently doing my transport and logistics course to stand a better chance
Hope it helps
@Glen Plant I’ve emailed a few companies who don’t offer sponsorship and according to tru blue migration my transport managers Uk qualification is not enough to get PR I’m baffled to be honest
I am in the US and want to move to Perth.
4th largest migrant group is Americans with young children.
Do it
your welcome ,you wont regret it and can become very rich here.
Can confirm, Australia is pretty great.
Agreed
I am a Brit, Australian living in the US. I love Australia, and lived there for 10 years. I was however shocked and very disappointed by how the Australian government treated Australians during covid, particularly Australians like myself, who didn't want to be injected with dangerous untested poisons made by corrupt American criminal pharmaceutical companies.
don't you get embarrassed writing that publicly
@@roundpotato4318 never embarrassed about writing the truth.
@@antdavis3843 but your "truth" is just propaganda at the end of the day, think about it for a second why would corrupt corporations want to quote "use untested poisons." When we are one of their most valuable recourse to them. Country's with larger population tend to pay less for labour so lowing the population would just be stupid.
The Northern territory are looking for people in Ireland to come .I spent 6 months in Qld in 2017 .Enough time to access Australia has become a Police state and the measures during Covid reinforced that belief .
Enjoy your opinion
"very few people look down on others" - except our politicians lol
My uncle is a politician in the US, and I 100% agree he is like this. Too bad Australian and American politicians share this trait
They're not real people
Because Perth summers are hot and dry, evaporative cooling systems are popular and effective there and very cheap to run. But don't try it in Brisbane.
Couldn't add more to the humidity if you tried
I will only have refrigerated aircon in Perth. Evap not effective enough for my liking. Can't handle the heat.
Where can we find out more info on this I'm a qualified electrician and realy want to make the move.
Apparently they're advertising it in the UK Gene
I’d make the move but the hoops Oz wants electrician to jump through are ridiculous considering (from what I’ve heard and read) the standards we work to over here (UK) are better than over there
I’ve watched a lot of your videos on moving to Australia, but could you try make a video on what it would be like to move in your 20’s or for young people! I’ve dreamed about Oz for a long time but there are a lot of aspects that are different to money and jobs that come into play when you’re creating a new rest of your life at a young age
I'll add it to the list Tymes
Check out Molly Thompson on yt. She’s in her 20’s and has moved to Melbourne from UK.
From what I’ve seen they still haven’t offered invites for EOI to offshore applicants yet this financial year.sooner they grant my 189 they will have another mechanic in Perth 😊
I've heard of grants, but there's a big backlog. It'll happen soon!
@@ThatJohnstonLife yeah I’ve seen the OCT round starting to get grants but I’m part of the DEC round so just patiently waiting 🤞🏻🤞🏻
We’re not stealing people, people are choosing to come here for the great lifestyle, scenery and weather.
Life choices
You're getting good at this 🤣👍
Because it is a better place to live and work.
You're right Steve
subscribed very good videos keep it up. Hoping to go to Australia once i get my health and social level 3 done. You know much abou uni ?
Each state is slightly different mate....We have HECS (Higher Education Contribution Scheme) in NSW. You borrow money for your course & pay it back little by little once you start working, but this would only be available to aussie citizens...the price of courses differ...
What do you want to know?
Just what are best unis etc keep up good work man
Fly tomorrow to the Gold Coast. Surreal feeling today.
Glad you're enjoying it here
Unfortunately with 43years old without a diploma it's been extremely difficult to moove😢😢😢😢
Hi! My husband is a secondary school history teacher. He is finding it difficult to find history specific jobs in WA and it seems to be subsumed under a subject HASS. Do you know if there is many opportunities for secondary school history teachers in WA?
A lot of schools do HASS until senior then they may offer History separately. I'd advise to look to offer history and another subject. It's common in Australia to be able to teach multiple subjects
Thank you for the reply. Great help thank you
Originally from Wales living in Perth WA , trade mechanic / fitter working FIFO $75 per hour , $4000 dollars per week after tax , 7/7 Roster , rent a beautiful apartment in perth $525 per week
Those are great numbers
I build wind turbines offshore in the UK. Wondering if i can get in the mines
@@ryanbell4952Australia Govt has declared its first offshore wind zone in Bass Strait near Melbourne.. 2nd and 3rd offshore wind zones being considered off the Newcastle and the Illawarra ( both either side of Sydney). Would assume there will be great work opportunities in the near future. The Bass Strait one may offer work for Engineers very soon as it will be going into the design phase.
Hello John, got a new mota
I work on the railway in UK for Network Rail, is there railway jobs out there ?
There are definitely railway jobs here Zack
plenty.
Hi do you have video how did you get a mortagage process?
Not yet Michelle, but it's on the to do list
WA IS GREAT. LOVE IT.
Yeah, we been doing it since 1795.
I'm not really sure where all these ppl are gonna live cos we have a huge lack of housing...due to a lack of tradies...but yeah Perth is a pretty sweet place to live 😁
I was one of those head hunted to come to Perth it’s fabulous pity they don’t sort out the red tape of the paperwork! Cost of living is higher here you will spend a lot more on food like 25% at least but gas and electric is cheaper and petrol is cheaper Im no better off being here really
Thanks for the insights
dunno where they are gonna live..... no houses
Best time to invest in some house builders
Wait so are you in Western Australia 🇦🇺 because I am
Nope. Brisbane Bro
Oh ok
Any help an advice as a nurse with a family looking to move over
As an Australian, cost if living is HIGH.
Hi! My husband is a secondary school history teacher. He is finding it difficult to find history specific jobs in WA and it seems to be subsumed under a subject HASS. Do you know if there is many opportunities for secondary school history teachers in WA? 4:24
There are some, but most of the time it is HASS. I was a geography HOD now I teach English full time. The question isn't how much do you love your subject, but how much do you want to live in Australia?
Any advice on police officers going across?
You get to learn how to fire a gun
They choose Perth probably because it is closer to England and the furthest capital away from the rest of Australia! My English born, Aussie raised sister, was shocked at the number of Poms living in Perth when she went to live there with her Aussie husband for his work for seven years.
There's lots of Poms all over Australia!!
@@ThatJohnstonLife Yes there are, but considering the small population of Perth, there are a lot of English there. In the 2021 Government Census the top countries of birth in Greater Perth were Australia, then England (169,938), New Zealand, South Africa and Scotland. The top ancestries were English followed by Australia, Irish, Scottish and Italian.
Australian dentists are about to do big business. 😘
😆 🤣
omg youre ssso rude... ha ha ha
Which part of Australia has the best weather condition? Thank you! A soon to be aussie🙌
It depends on what you prefer. Australia can be so varied
East coast is extremely humid. Further north you go the more humid it gets because northern australia is subtropical.
West coast is dry and is often described as "mediterranean" weather. Can be hot and dry during the day and cool at night. Perth itself is the sunniest capital city in the world (thats official). Its also one of the windiest - second or third in the world. Again WA is subtropical in the north. WA also experiences extreme trade winds in the north during summer (due to the immense heat rising off the deserts). Its those tradewinds that the Dutch used to get to their colonial holdings in Indonesia, so WA has many historical dutch shipwrecks (including the infamous Batavia wreck on the Houtman Abrolhos islands).
The further inland you go the hotter it gets. That applies right around Australia. When I say hot, I mean turn your oven up to its hottest setting for an hour then open its door and stand in front of it. Its that kind of heat. In NSW and queensland you can add drippy humidity to that misery. On the flip side winters are never really cold - except in the south east states.
Tasmania is cooler more temperate climate - can be very cold and gets snow in places. Quite rainy too. Its very close to Antarctica and that shows
Southern coast of Australia - from south australia across victoria tends to vary from cold to hot, with rain interspersed. Further east you go the more humid it tends to be when warm. Melbourne sometimes experiences that all in one day.
As you go inland towards canberra from Melbourne you get into the Australian Alps. As it sounds that can be very very cold -especially at night - and experiences snow. Canberra is frequiently below ) celsius at night (as are many desert regions), especially in winter. Ive seen lots of tourists make the mistake of thinking Australia is hot and then freeze in Canberra.
Overall, hot days tend to be hotter than other countries.
ps if you are soon to be living here remember to ALWAYS wear a hat in the sun. Ive seen lots of heat casualties over the years and dopey european tourists regularly die from heat stroke here because they dont know the basics of dealing with the sun and heat. In WA and parts of the north the sun will give you 3rd degree burns in about 10 minutes if youre pale and you dont use cream or cover up. Its not as extreme elsewhere.
@@tileux thank you so much for this information and your time for sharing it!👍 Much appreciated!🙏
South West Western Australia
best weather is around Perth in the southwest. Med climate, and not humid. East Coast is good too (around Sunshine Coast & Gold Coast), warmer water, but high in humidity. Perth area is flat with dry vegetation, whilst the East Coast has mountains and is more green.
Are there Australians living in Perth?
I live in W. A. having moved from S. A. 50 years ago. There is everything here that you can find in other states just maybe less in numbers. e.g. 3 instead of 6. It doesn't feel isolated living here because we have it all as well as things and scenery you won't find anywhere else.
A great place for bringing up children. W.A. has a very relaxed life style generally and I think the work/life balance is better than the eastern states. Oh yes! about three quarters of us are Australian.
They'll probably move out
Apart from the snakes & spiders & the sharks, it does seem Australia is far better then the U.K. in every way
Plenty of other things that can hurt you in the UK that worry me
there are more shark deaths in the US each year, and we've had 0 spider fatalities 2001 - 2017
im 67 never been bitten by either.
Come to Australia, health workers of the world. We have less diseases than up north.
😆 🤣
Come on you gooners!!!
👍
A gooner? oh shite, and I am a Spurs fan!
I won't judge you
Ik the truth and I still live here the uk is fucked that’s why I wanna move to Australia and all that about the criminal past at the end of the day were all humans and were all equal it’s nothing to do with them as the day to day working man as it is ours everyone is a different individual with different views and I’m racist towards no one and I love how clean Australia is I love the sea life growing up around it like and it hurts me to see them struggling due to rubbish being fly tipped so I’d love to swim with the turtles sharks etc but I’d also love to help save them
Half the people in Britain don't want want to be here ,no one's stealing it's called ,I've had enough,give ya head a wobble😂
😄 🤣 agreed
Is there a housing shortage?
A little apparently
Yes. A lot. Prices are out of control here.
Sever. 0.5% vacancy rate.
Its absolutely stuffed and the last thing we need is more migrants. So of course the government, who are all landlords, decide we need mass immigration.
Very much so. The lowest number of rental properties on the market in 40 years.
Deport a million Chindians and bring in a Brits and saffas instead.
The local news in Perth had told about this offer :)

Thanks Peter
Would appreciate you fixing your map to remove The Republic of Ireland. After being forcibly integrated into the UK it took us many centuries to forcibly remove ourselves. Thanks
Thanks for pointing that out Vincent, as a former perfectionist Geography teacher, I now see the error in my ways. Hopefully the new map is more to your liking
Except that Irish did not forcibly remove themselves from the UK.
@@advanceaustralia386 I am interested to hear what you mean by that? We had many uprisings and fought a war for our independence.

@@vincentohanlon
What war?
Name a single battle. Let alone a battle the disloyal Irish won.
please steal some south africans
Why? W.A. has lots of them! I think it's because the climate is very similar and it's closer to South Africa if they want a trip back. It does take a while for many of them to get used to our Aboriginal people. They are not servants here.

Australia sounded like a good option until I heard about the spiders. Sorry never going
Yeah, they will hunt you down if you live here
The only spider that can kill you is the funnel web. The horses are the #1 killer in Australia, followed by cattle, then dogs and kangaroos at equal third.

😂 does this mean we can keep the billions of dollars we send to the less fortunate eastern states?
@@Fish29077 Except that coal has taken over AGAIN as Australias big export dollar earner now iron ore has slumped back to realistic levels. Other states now make more than WA as they have historicaly. WA has gone bankrupt twice in the last 20 years and has had to be bailed out by the East. A fact that most lollypops in WA dont know. I personaly think the East should just let WA go bust again and just let it go. Just like how WA wants it. The Chinese could just mine it out and then use it as a garbage tip.
