10 Best Places to Live in Australia | Study, Job or Retirement

According to the United Nations, Australia is the second-best country in the world to live, due to its excellent quality of life index. It is on top because it has great access to education, high life expectation and socioeconomic well-being. With its famously sunny climate and laid back culture, it is no wonder that moving to Australia is a popular choice for many expats. While moving to Australia permanently can be challenging for some due to their relatively strict set of requirements for migrants, however student or working visas are easier to come by. Overall, Australia is very expensive country to live, But due to its increasing job opportunities and high wages it remains a popular choice among Students and Expats alike.
So here are The Best Places to live in Australia.

I recently got my Permanent Residence as a Nurse from UK. I just got back from a reccy trip to Brisbane and was blown away by how relaxed it was, endless hikes and walks not far from the city/suburbs and only 45mins drive to north there was Bribie Island with a lovely beach. Gorgeous place and can't wait to get back and stay permanent.

As a migrant of 10years in Australia, we've settled in Adelaide. Started in Sydney (financial trap and rat race) went to Brisbane, then Cairns- probably the most lush part of the country, locals come first in terms of employment opportunities which is fair enough, just something to be aware of. Then moved to Perth- best beaches by far, way too sprawled out for me though when public transport isn't nearly as frequent as other states, takes too long to get from A to B with no traffic! Moved to Broome - if you're unsettled/ backpacking, try do a stint here! It's the Bali of Australia, tropical style resorts, beautiful beaches and the most laid back place on the continent. Lots of hospitality employment options too that include accommodation. Then went back to Sydney for family connections of my partner and we started a family. The new family dynamic is what made us choose Adelaide. More like a big country town but with all the amenities you could need, great schools, property prices a fraction of the bigger cities and plenty of employment opportunities in all sectors with little to no difference on income expectation compared to the big cities. Thanks for the opportunities Straya😊🇦🇺🪃

[@vinayshsureshram277]

I live in Brisbane, Australia and I personally feel that it is one of the most liveable cities and very peaceful with a low population but still has all the big city amenities. Probably what Sydney/Melbourne used to be 20 years or so ago. Its all about the branding on a global scale - that Sydney and Melbourne are the best cities in Australia so they're growing rapidly at 100k+ people added per year and that is contributing to rising house prices. Brisbane is relatively more affordable on that front and does have exciting places such as the Goldcoast and the Sunshine Coast on its doorstep. Not to mention the fantastic all-year round sunny weather. It is only lacking in public transport and infrastructure and a bit of entertainment/culture but that is soon to change in the lead up to the 2032 Olympics with Queens Wharf, Brisbane Metro, Waterfront Brisbane and Cross River Rail.

@bharath2508 outside india, most countries will be challenging for food for vegetarians compared to non vegetarians. You do have vegan options in a lot of the restaurants but you'll just have to hunt for those and look at the menu before going there. And of course you've got plenty of indian restaurants where you won't have any trouble for vegetarian food. Other times, just cook your own food at home. You get everything you need at indian grocery stores. Eating out in general is expensive. I've never faced any racism here - Australians are super friendly.

Australia is globally famous for its natural wonders, wide-open spaces, beaches, deserts, "The Bush", and "The Outback". Australia is one of the world's most highly urbanised countries; it's well known for its attractive mega cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Perth.

What are you even on man. Australia is one of the LEAST urbanised countries in the world. We inhabit less than 90% of our total landmass. Also you might have just used the term to call the cities "big" but not a single city in Australia is anywhere close to being a "Mega city" which is a term used to describe cities with over 10 million residents.

@@evie_33 - Urbanisation is the proportion of people living in cities, not the proportion of city area to landmass. So Australia is highly urbanised (86.2% live in cities).

[@mechanizedwar6]

So i'm Aussie living in western Sydney and I have to mention that you generally want to avoid living in the city due to high housing cost and you'll be forced to live in an apartment which some people prefer but i highly dislike because you'll be cramped. I know this because my uncle bought a tiny apartment in a large building for about $1.5 million AUD which I thought was a ripoff since it's tiny and pathetic and you have to deal with neighbours and the only upside is that there's a beautiful view of the city but in my opinion it isn't worth it, so I recommend to stick with suburbs and an actual house if you plan to move to Australia.

It depends on your quals and what sort of job you are after. you need to do your own research when it gets down to specifics. The big cities have more jobs and more options in most areas. Gold Coast probably good for hospitality and tourism jobs and lifestyle but not in Fraaip's list given. Probably more jobs and less humidity than Cairns if seeking tourism jobs. Most Australians would not recommend going to Canberra although it is a nice quiet town most say it is boring except for a two day visit. I lived there for years and would mostly agree depending on personality type. OK for those seeking life outside a big city with access to outdoor lifestyle activities but still a high standard of living. Finally Australian is big and climate zones cover a wide range so do you homework on climate before accepting a job. Some people like humidity, heat etc and some need a cool low humidity climate.

Something to note is that five of the cities in this list are among the top 20 least affordable cities in the world for housing, with Sydney and Melbourne in the top 5. Brisbane and Hobart used to be nice alternatives to Sydney and Melbourne but then their house prices jumped by more than 30% during 2021. So if you're the average person you can't afford to buy in any capital city unless you make heavy compromises. Sydney is beautiful but very expensive and the traffic is atrocious - definitely a place to visit but not live. Brisbane is not an exciting or charismatic city but does have a nice lifestyle and the weather is usually very nice (notwithstanding the recent floods).
