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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Australian healthcare is proactive. The system prefers early identification & treatment to leaving things to get worse.

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.

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.

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

I'm a dual citizen and have lived in both countries. It is about as easy to make friends in either country. BUT for a typical reserved middle class pom - Aussies might see them as stand-offish and think they are not interested in being friends. More working class poms or those not so reserved don't have this problem.

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.

We have a lot to offer. We of course, have a lot of similarities to the UK...but the USA - wow. that is like another universe that's going to the shitter..no way I would want to live in what the Americans claim to be the 'greatest country'.

Kabir, you need to study the different visas because if you come in as a tourist and you work, even for free, or for food, you’ll be in big trouble. You can only work if your visa states as such, and there are limits to the types of jobs you can do. Find lit BEFORE you plan to visit. A working visa is restricted to a list of available jobs. Do your research thoroughly and beware of agencies who make false claims, because those crooked agencies exist but get you into trouble and are often not held accountable. We are also very strict on bio security, so don’t bring in any seeds, food or live material, and not declare it. Declare everything and even if you lose an item, you won’t get fined for lying on a legal document.
