There are, of course, many things to consider when embarking on a new life in Australia, but here are few practical tips that people moving to Australia need to be aware of.
The weather
The Australian summer falls from December to February and is dry and very hot. Australians typically wear factor 30+ sunscreen as skin cancer is common. However, the weather is a fantastic plus-point to settling in Australia and is a great excuse to make the most of the beaches and water sports, available to everyone living near the coast.

We at Global Visas offer you some handy hints as to how to most efficiently secure your all important work visa:
1. Patience is paramount in the visa process.
We all know someone who thinks the rules don’t apply to them. But Immigration laws apply to everyone equally and the process takes time. In only very exceptional cases, fast tracking visas is possible, but in most cases, the visa process must run its set course. Make sure you plan well head, allowing plenty of time for the visa(s) to be granted.
2. Don’t book a flight until the visa has been issued.
This may sound like obvious advice, but even the most straightforward cases can be delayed. Recently we had a client who booked a flight thinking the case visa would be issued in ample time. Unfortunately the employee’s passport was expiring within six months and this prevented a visa being granted. The visa would have taken 24 hours to secure. His passport took six weeks to renew.

Australia, a beautiful land adorned with rippling waves, golden shores and glowing sunshine, sounds like paradise? Well new census figures show that there is a growing problem affecting life down under… and that is a lack of the male species.
According to statistics at present there are almost 100,000 more females than males in Australia, with the imbalance steadily increasing. According to the national census the figures are largely a product of changes in immigration trends throughout the country as a whole.
