Welcome to your new home. We're fortunate to have such grand new additions to our Aussie family as you and the Johnstons.

[@hazeloates5934]

Good luck, guys. Hopefully, once I finish my nursing degree, we will be moving to Australia to start a new chapter of our lives.

My parents brought me to Australia at age 13 & though I didn’t appreciate it at the time I will always be grateful

Thanks for watching Andrew

Happy New Year xxx hope you guys have settled in Melbourne OK. We have been here since September... The weather is definitely different a forever changing lol.

[@Paul-pl6dl]

Happy New Years Ross and family I've lived here all my life and even though I have traveled around I wouldn't move anywhere this is a great country the people are friendly the weather is good in most states once La Nina moves away the east coast will go back to something near normal and Melbourne is starting to warm up 38c on Boxing Day and the next few days are going to be hot and there is a lot of places to work and the pay is of a high rate good luck

[@themodernpatriarch4838]

Your videos are so helpfull. My wife, our 4 children, and I are going to be migrating to the greater brisbane area from Canada within the next few months and you have been such a great source of information. Thanks a million.

[@marksshepherd4280]

Great video. We are judt awaiting our visa now. Weve just completed our police checks and medical. Happy new year 😁

[@victorwilks88]

Have a great new years eve 😀

[@mickkinse]

Your videos have been a great help to us mate! Currently packing to get ready for our movecube next week and have flights booked for the 21st to Perth on a sponsored visa. Happy new year to you and your family!

[@ioanparry]

Hope your trip over to Perth went well! That's where we'd like to move to. If you don't mind me asking, which line of work did you manage to get a sponsor with please, and how long did your application process take from start to finish out of interest?

[@marianjeffrey8684]

Welcome to Melbourne. You will love it here. Victoria has everything ❤️ Happy New Year Johnston family. Ross you do a great job, as an old migrant I love these stories of young British families emigrating here. I have never regretted my move to Melbourne back in the 70s.

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Thanks Marian. Glad you enjoy them

[@James11226]

Thanks! Good to know, we’re loving it so far (It’s Adam from the video) 😁

Thanks Louise 👍

Guys I wish you all the best.. cheers…

Happy new year to the Johnston family and all the aussies! I learned a lot from this channel. We are moving from Cape Town to Sydney in March.

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Happy new year! Glad to help you on your journey. Keep us posted on how you get on

[@jeffreyjalink782]

Was it an easy decision?

[@staunchy3730]

@Jeffrey Jalink it wasn't easy as it means leaving my family behind however its without a doubt the best decision as it is to provide my almost 3 year old daughter with a better future, being safer and having a lot more opportunities

[@jeffreyjalink782]

Welcome!

[@stephaniebell4272]

Unfortunately , the housing market in Victoria is a little insane. Even in our regional area, the prices are high.

[@TheJessicaeve]

This probably varies a lot depending on family size and lifestyle but what's the basic amount you would recommend to save up before moving?

[@davidcrook6892]

Wow we’re moving over March/April this year to Geelong from Scotland and we were offered 482 visa’s but decided as a family that visa was a no go. We are on a 186 employer sponsored permanent residency visa and feel soo much better about it and are looking forward to it to!

[@rarehareillustrations]

Hope your move went well! We're looking to move as a family with just my partner working and my and our son at home until nursery. Which visa did you get and which company got you started?

[@davidcrook6892]

@@rarehareillustrations We are on a 186 ENS through my wife’s work (nurse) which is permanent residency so allows us to set up properly with no schooling fees etc. (unless we choose to send them to private school). Finally getting set up 🤞. Hope you get sorted!

[@patrussell8917]

Delightful to see migrants who really want to live here learning to like Australians and liking the country both good and bad better still they have brought a new member with them as well as themselves Best salesman for Australia ever MR JOHNSON keep up the pitch and bring some more similar types like these Pity they chose Melbourne .

[@marianjeffrey8684]

Melbourne is fine. I live north of Melbourne and have the best of both worlds. Bit rural but then I can go into Melbourne for museums, theatre, zoo and all the restaurants in Lygon St, not to mention the sporting facilities MCG etc. Good place to live.

[@karenandstevencornish2295]

Pity you had to say that about Melbourne mate, every State and Territory in Australia have that something special to why people decide to live there. Melbourne has amazing places to visit, if you are into sport Melbourne is sports mad and that is practically any type of sport. It has the best restaurants in Australia and the coffee is also the best in the world. Even Maccas ( McDonalds ) brewed coffee is from Melbourne!! Rural Victoria has something for everyone, to fun filled day trips to beautiful Wineries, or walking amongst giant Californian Redwood Forests or going on Puffing Billy ( beautiful old steam train ) in the Dandenong Ranges, camping, boating, fishing, 4 x 4 driving, skiing in the winter time up in the mountain ranges of Victoria ( Mt Buller, Hotham, Mount Baw Baw, Lake Mountain to name a few ) like all of Australia there are breathtaking coastlines and beaches and National parks. The best bit about Melbourne is the weather lol😂 it always keep you guessing !!!

[@aghh2003]

I'm Australian and am in a long distance relationship with someone in Ohio, not so easy to work together to move him over here and I have to thank you for talking about True Blue Migration so we can get started on moving him here.

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Hope they help Trixie

[@skilledfutureoz3369]

Good luck with the move. You might already know this or your agent might have covered it - but a friend of mine had some issues that impacted on his PR. If you rent your house out in the UK and you are tax resident in Australia you probably have to declare that income in your annual tax return due from 1 July each year - unlike the UK and HMRC nearly everyone has to do a tax return in Australia. Australia does not have "non doms" as such and the ATO (Australian Tax Office) tax you on income earned anywhere in the world. I have a UK work pension paid into a UK bank in addition to my Aussie salary that the ATO also tax. You don't want to have any issues with the ATO until you are citizens. A good accountant "their fees are tax deductible" can help you minimise or argue about this and will know all the rules better than an amateur like me and thus avoid any issues.

[@newbris]

If ato do tax you they will credit any tax paid in uk under double taxation agreement I think.

[@charlesemerson6763]

It's amazing how different it is now to come out to what it was when we came in 1974. I know my parents, I was 15 at the time, had quite a few arguments over coming and that family thing reared it's head. My fathers family were already here, they came out from Scotland in the 1950's, so it would leave my grandparents on my mother's side in Scotland. My mothers brother blindsided everyone by announcing that they were emigrating to Australia in 1972 which gave my father the impetus to get started. As we already had family here, in Sydney, emigrating was a breeze as the hoops were much smaller. It was more like repatriation than emigration as they, the Australian government, had clause for keeping families together so it made the whole process easier, or so I thought. Turns out it wasn't as easy as when we arrived in Sydney I was detained by emigration due to an error on my passport. Two days in a little room at Sydney airport to sort out a four digit code on my passport. In the end they said bugger it and stamped my passport at 11:00 pm at night and I had to find my folks who were camped out in the airport. Ahh fun times.

[@LoveLaw]

We are heading there soon on a sponsored visa. It makes more financial sense for us because they are paying for visa, flights, relocation costs, and as soon as we get there we have a furnished home free for 3 months as well as a rental car - also free. And as soon as we find a rental they subsidise it for us. They are also willing to sponsor PR after 2 years. The other huge benefit is that the visa took 6 weeks so yeah its a great opportunity.

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

That's a fantastic opportunity Lizel. Let us know how you get on. We'd love to have you on the podcast in future to learn about how you settle in!

[@LoveLaw]

@@ThatJohnstonLife I will keep you posted as soon as we are on soil, that would be great.

[@changethisonceamonth7516]

If you have two kids and want to live in sydney. You'll be looking at $50,000 per year in rent (at least). And you will not be living anywhere near a beach. Lucky if you get inner west. You really dont want to be out west at Paramatta. Summer hill is as far west as I'd go.

And in sydney youll never own your own house. Youll be renting forever. Unless you go to paramatta.

You guys have convinced me to stay in Australia! I am currently in the process of helping my man make the move here and he watches your videos too! He has fallen in love with your lifestyle and is excited to get here! I have explained that the Brisbane weather is different to Adelaide as we experience seasonal weather, but it is lovely here too. I love London, but I can't handle the long and cold winters and I will visit, but in summer Thanks for helping me fall back in love with my Country and we will be holidaying in Brisbane because he wants to experience a taste of the Johnston life! We may make the move there after he is settled. Your channel has been invaluable and I appreciate your help! Your girls are so lovely and appear to be thriving! What wonderful dark hair they both have! Happy New Year and remember to wear sunscreen! The sun is strong!

[@ThatJohnstonLife]

Glad to help Kate
