Is it just me, or does it feel like every Brit is moving to Australia right now? Whether they’ve already relocated, are planning to, or just can’t stop talking about it, the trend is real! Brits now make up the largest migrant community in Australia, with over 1.1 million living Down Under.

In this video, I dive into why so many are making the leap. From soaring costs of living and stagnating wages in the UK to Australia’s higher minimum wage, affordable lifestyle, and active encouragement of skilled migration, the appeal is clear. Plus, new visa changes are making it easier than ever for young Brits to move!

Join me as I compare life in the UK and Australia, sharing personal insights from my own recent move to Sydney. From housing and transport costs to the weather and quality of life, we’ll explore why Australia is calling—and why so many Brits are answering.
