Sydney, capital of New South Wales and one of Australia's largest cities, is best known for its harbourfront Sydney Opera House, with a distinctive sail-like design. Massive Darling Harbour and the smaller Circular Quay port are hubs of waterside life, with the arched Harbour Bridge and esteemed Royal Botanic Garden nearby. Sydney Tower’s outdoor platform, the Skywalk, offers 360-degree views of the city and suburbs.
I am really surprised to see the advantage of living Australia .
The “tangible” benefits of living in Australia are far and many – clean environment, great infrastructure, lovely weather (somehow I can’t stop raving about it), friendly locals, open culture, affordable health care, great opportunities for work and study and I could go on and on…
However, the biggest advantage that I wish to elaborate on, is the Quality of Life that I have in Australia – something that I could never imagine back home in India. I am an ordinary person – I work for a salary and that helps me pay my bills. In all probability that’s what I will continue to do for a long time to come. I studied and worked in India for a few years before migrating to Australia in 2015. I often get sucked into drawing comparisons between Australia and other countries. I will try and avoid it in my reply.
Here’s what I have to say about the unbeatable Quality of Life in Australia:
- Great Work-Life Balance – I work a regular day job 5 days a week. My commute to and from work takes 15 minutes (I live in an inner-suburb in Perth). Consequently, I am at home by 5 pm almost every day. I regularly get a lot of personal time to pursue sport, interests and hobbies. Coming from India, this has been a refreshing change for me.
- The power of a strong currency – It took me a while to find employment after coming to Australia. But once you are part of the workforce, life is Australia is pretty stress-free. How much money you make, is not critical to decide the quality of life that you can have. Even with an average salary one can lead a good-quality life – you can own a house (reminder: I live in Perth), buy a car and still keep aside money for that yearly vacation. Personally, I felt a sense of “financial comfort” as early as 8 weeks into my first job – something I could not feel for years, back in India.
- The Feeling that I Belong – When I arrived in Australia I fully understood that I was the outsider here so it was I who had to take the efforts to unlearn and then learn a new way of life. What made my journey pleasant, was the fact that I was never treated as an outsider. When you are new to the country people around you know that you have arrived recently. The biggest difference, to the credit of the Aussies, is that they never treat you like an outsider. In fact, they provide sympathy, acceptance and kind words of support – something that did my morale a world of good in my initial days here.
- Lawfulness and an abject fear of the law – Australians in general respect the law and live “within the framework”. You normally see people abiding by the law – especially on the roads. Corruption on a day-to-day basis is unseen, and offering or receiving bribes has strict penalties – another refreshing change for those coming from countries that see a high degree of corruption and other wrong-doings.
- Trust – Aussies inherently tend to trust each other. This brings about a certain level of openness in day-to-day dealings, that is difficult to explain. Take for instance, if you write on your résumé about a certain skill that you have, the recruiter and interviewer will trust you that you indeed possess that skill. It’s in Australia that I learnt that treating people with trust and respect is the way to go rather than treating someone with suspicion. [Be cautious, not s.

Step 1: Register for IELTS and Prepare
There are other tests that can be used in place for IELTS, such as PTE, but it is compulsory to take an English test.
The good news is that only IELTS General Training Test is required, which is much simpler than Academic Training.IELTS test has 4 components: Reading, Listening, Writing and Speaking.
In order to get 10 points towards total score, you need to have at least 7 score in each of the 4 components. And in order to get 20 points towards total score, you need to have at least 8 score in each of the 4 components.
Here are some smart IELTS hacks for you to increase your score by 1–2 Band overnight:

.
Step 2: Skills Assessment from relevant authority.
For Engineering, it’s Engineers Australia. For Computer Science and Software Engineering, it’s ACS.
This is the step to secure 15 points for Bachelors or Masters Degree, and another 5 to 10 points for work.
Once you visit your relevant skills assessment authority’s website, click on ‘Apply For Migration Skills Assessment’ and follow the instructions.
.
Step 3: Expression of Interest (EOI)
After completing step 1 and 2, you are ready to submit your Expression of Interest (EOI).
EOI is completed online by logging into portal called,
SkillSelect.
It is completely FREE to submit and it didn’t take me more than 30 minutes to fill in the information.
Select visa type: Skilled – Independent (Subclass 189)
Enter your IETLS score information, Education qualification, and Employment details.
On the Skills Assessment section, select your occupation, as the one that has been endorsed by relevant authority in Step 2.
No documents are needed to be attached for any proof at this stage but reference number for both IELTS and Skills Assessment has to be provided.
.
Step 4: Visa Application
You will have 60 days after the EOI acceptance invitation to make a visa application.
Follow this link to
Immigration portal.
This step is extremely simple as well.
You just have to submit visa application form online which will take 5 minutes to fill as most of the information will be repeated from EOI.
Then you will attach scanned versions of relevant documents (don’t have to be certified).
– Positive Skills Assessment evidence
– Age (Passport or Birth Certificate)
– IELTS Result
– Degree & Employment Proof
After about a month, they asked me for
Form 80. This was a bit lengthy form to fill in.
Information to fill in form 80:
Residential addresses for last 10 years
Travel history for last 10 years (trick I used to complete this section was to see the stamps and dates of those stamps on my passport)
Internships and part-time work information
Parents and siblings’ basic information (name, date of birth, citizenship)
2-line answer to why I am traveling to Australia, and why do I want to remain in Australia
This part was lengthy but simple and no extra documentary evidence was required.
Once submitted, you will be asked to submit Police Character Certificate and also get Medical check-up done from the designated lab in your city.
And that’s it!
After completing Step 4, you will get an awesome email with PR in just a month or two :)
