- 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.
Welcome home !!!! DrEva
and Brisbane is shit compared to Melbourne!
Heey best@procyonAlpha which city is best for nursing students 😊
I'm thinking wollongong or Newcastle over brisbane (UK docnhere!)
Anyone choosing Brisbane or Queensland generally, is delusional. Has to be either Perth or Adelaide.
Well done. Thank you for posting/sharing. Cheers!
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😊🇦🇺🪃
Wow in 10 years moving all over the country.
A remarkable tour of the nation inside a decade. As a migrant, you have already lived in more locations within Australia than 99% of native-born Australians.
@@tonysouth1313 I can relate to them, ironically I've seen more of Australia than my home country. Back there you can drive north to south in 6hours😂 it's like some type of "at home syndrome" that affects us all I'm sure!!
Mate is there anywhere in Australia that you haven't lived 😂
I have only lived in Sydney and Brisbane. It's too expensive to live on the East Coast now. I choose Perth to settle down finally.
i have visited australia 5 times (sydney & melbourne) i have to say australia is a fascination but i would never live there...i am a european girl and my country is paradise on earth...Greetings from Switzerland🇨🇭🇨🇭
Your a sensible one. I’m half Dutch Australian, born here. Last ten years in Holland, just back over and I love many things like you mentioned, but it is sad to see how this country has declined, I’ve decided to return to EU. Most on,y rave on about how great it is here. Looking forward to visiting Switzerland again ✌
In what way has it declined?
@@carokat1111 I was having a bad day. Bit bitter how I’m finding it so hard to find a rental. I’m eighth generation here and I love it deeply, we have been really mismanaged.. but I’m hopeful we’ll find our way. And I’m staying here and joining politics. Critique is a good motivator
@@tristanvantijen Yes, housing is tough everywhere I think. Best of luck.
Paradise on Earth indeed!! 🤗😍
Awesome video and thank you for sharing 💙👍
I live in Perth and travelled in every state and around the world, but Perth is the best place to live for me when you go on holidays for a month ready to come home to my lovely home .thanks Australia ,the best place in the world .
What about healthcare and schools?
hello, I would appreciate if you help me get some info about Perth. I am planning to move to Perth by the end of 2024.
@@toufiqhossain5533 We do not want you here.
I was fortunate enough to be born in 1949 at Victor Harbour South Australia. Lived on a dairy farm till 7yrs old then the family moved to GLENELG BEACH in Adelaide.
I was very fortunate as i have travelled to other countries and would never want to live anywhere else.
I like Adelaid , do u want to talk more about Lôgistic in Adelaid
I’m moving to Australia this year, can’t wait
I’ll see you here! Which area are you moving to?
enjoyed watching your vlogs.
Adelaide is a beautiful city with a more laid back lifestyle. Well planned city with lots of beautiful gardens. No 1 choice.
If you lose your job here, you will find it next to impossible to find another.
Moved from Sydney to Gold Coast in 2008, could actually afford a flat near the beach, what a lifestyle, never gonna live anywhere else.
Been to all of those places and loved every one of them. Have to say I would have Adelaide as number 1, Melbourne as number 2 and Gold Coast as number 3, Brisbane and Brisbane as number 4. Everything else is spot on. Good job!
where is the hottest girls in australia
@@MayankSingh-wd6zq you will find them in Perth 😃
I love watching these things...thanku so much for making

Greatings from Vancouver Island BC Canada, Cain's is pronounced Cans. Wonderful country. Been a couple of times. Never went to the capital or Hobart but been all the way around and down the middle. Loved the Great Barrier Reef & Broome. (Planned on being in Broome for 4 days and spent 6 weeks). Great Barrier Reef, left from Magnetic Island on a sailboat (13 islands) for a full month, just awesome then. (sadly the reef has declined in it's beauty since). Go if you get the chance. You'll be glad you did. Cheers!
Thank you, I love Australia 🇦🇺 💕
🥰
Australia Best country on earth Love Australia I am in Türkiye love to go back again
Apart from victoria australia is nice especially new south wales around the central coast.Its magical there
Beautiful video 😍
I am absolutely fortunate to be living in Australia because of the laidback lifestyle. Job opportunities, healthcares, education and many more to offer for an exuberant lifestyle. It is well-known for its larger landscapes, natural wonders, beaches and desserts. I love to live in Perth due to sunny beaches, small city, and it's least competitive. Plus on a hindsight, it is close to Singapore and Bali.
I really love to be there
Perth is a great place to live I love it here.
Close to singapore and Bali? How do you come to that conclusion? Its no closer thsn Melbourne.
Darwin is close.
Perth is closer to Africa.
@@garynewton1263 it's a 5hr flight from Perth to Sg and a 3hr45min flight from Perth to Bali
@@joshuatsai2152 really? So you're saying that Perth is that much higher in latitute on the map of Australia thsn Adelaide and Melbourne.
I've never heard Perth being refered to as being close to Singapore and Bali, quite frankly what you're saying sounds ridiculous.
Perth is the most isolated city in Australia!
That was like you were just reading off the packet!
I lived in Australia from 1970 to 1979 and it was wonderful. Beautiful beaches, good food, Mediterranean in that you take your basket with you after work and visit the fruit market, butcher, baker and have a one on one relationship with them. Free medical, great transportation. I lived down at Palm Beach and you have busses that take you to Sydney so you can shop or take the ferry or hydrofoil across the bay from Manly Warf. Magical place. You are indeed fortunate to live there. My mom is Australian and she married a Yank.
Hey Kim, am an African, and would love to live and work in Australia. What's the easiest way to move there?
@@2wheelereyes521 www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/moving-to-australia
If your "mom" was Australian, then she would be a mum. Only in the US are mums called moms.
Great information
Congratulations for your national holiday on 26th January Australia from your friends in Germany
We call it invasion day, it is a celebration of the invasion of Australia and massacre of the indigenous people
I lived on the Gold Coast it's beautiful and lovely locals with great weather but it can get boring if you're not into beaches and you want a city vibe!
Hey , Im planning to visit too, I usually like cooler climate, Don't like too much of heat. What are some towns that fit into my needs. Thanks
Tasmania is such a beautiful! Perfect for nature lovers!
Beautiful introduction.
There are dream locations in Australia, of which we dare not talk about, due to our need to retain a peaceful and low cost life style.
And wats that Wagga wagg😅😅😅😅😅
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. Cheers
I cannot agree more, bro.
I agree that houses are better - have a question though. Don't you also need to deal with neighbours if you have a house? (Unless it's the middle of nowhere)
Wht about girls in Australia 😏?
@@MayankSingh-wd6zq Don't have any.
Agreed ,but I wouldn't live in Western Sydney either . Sutherland is probably to best that Sydney has to offer.
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.
I've lived in Sydney for over 30 years but Brissy is a lovely city IMHO.
@@SuzyQ334 cheers!
How is Australia for a vegetarian from India?
I am planning to move to Australia soon.
Brisbane or Perth?
What are the pros and cons of these cities?
What about racism towards Indians?
@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.
@@vinayshsureshram277
Thanks for the info mate.
How easy is it to find part time jobs in Australia?
great video
Murray is a brand.
Lucky Burton people.
As a born and raised Aussie and having lived all over the place - bit sad he just named big cities. We live in the Upper Blue Mountains in NSW - about two hours drive from Sydney. BEST place I've ever lived. We live in a Natural Wildlife region so zero pollution, not much traffic and such a laid back life style.
💛👏 I have been Australia 9 times, in Brissie quite most inpressived foe me as up north is Aunshine coast and headind south is Goldcoast. Try not to think that Those 3 are in very good location. Hoping to visit Sydney, Melbourne again also other beautiful places such as Adelaide, Perth, Darwin, Hobart N Cairns. All the best from Thailand xx 💓😘🇭🇲
Brisbane is the place to live, home of the '32 Olympics...then either Perth or Adelaide
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.
Are you not aware of your cash prize money of $800,000.000USD and a Samsung galaxy S10 won from Samsung lottery is still in our office?
Melbourne is not attractive at all.
They aren’t mega cities (>10m). Sydney and Melbourne about 5m.
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).
I’m surprised the Sunshine Coast wasn’t here. It’s still just an hour from Brisbane while having a good laid back atmosphere. It’s not really my thing but I live here now and I see the value in it. Then again this guy probably hasn’t spent much time in aus, if it all
I love this Australia 🇦🇺 💕
നന്നായിട്ടുണ്ട് 👍
Thanks for sharing
From India 🇮🇳
They didn’t mention how cold Canberra and Tasmania get
Or the crazy climate of Melbourne 4 seasons in one day
Beautiful places

proud to say i was born and raised on the Gold Coast the best place in australia
Except for the rain
My wife and I have lived in all the listed locations with the exception of Hobart, this is not a list of the top places to live in Australia by any stretch of the imagination. Having travelled extensively in Australia some more likely candidates would be ; The Atherton Tableland, Toowoomba, Hervey Bay, Rutherglen, The Mornington Peninsula and so many more locations more attractive than the big cities. Have you ever been to the land of OZ ?
If course not! Cannot pronounce the locations correctly!
@@curiousinvestigator5448 mans pronounced cairns "karens" ahahhahah
born and raised in hervey bay, the best place ❤️
These places are not suitable for everyone to live due to the lack of job opportunities. Maybe the lucky ones can live there who can work from home on a computer.
Most of the working people need to be present physically in their workplace. You simply can't do that from a remote area.
@@anmolsaxena_ "CanBERRUH"
Beautiful place 💯
I only like Sydney and Perth because of the beautiful water and beaches, Brisbane and Melbourne don't have nice water and beaches, you have to drive out of the city to get them. The other cities are just too small.
Love love love Australia
proud to say i was born and raised in this amazing country 😍🇦🇺
I'm moving to brisvegas in 4 months. Sydney is way too pricey
@@da3v1ls93 yes sydney is pricey. do you like the beach? because gold coast is a bit cheaper plus you have a beautiful coastline.
Hi
Can I get job there?
I am an architect, could u recommend me a city in Australia as an immigrant ?!
I have lived in Australia my whole life and have a very different list lol
Name it
I live in Canberra but I'll try to be objective:
1. Melbourne
2. Canberra
3. Brisbane
4. Hobart
5. Sydney
6. Perth
7. Adelaide
Edit: this list is to live rather than to visit.
@@Fraaip What about the other cities?
Like Darwin, Cairns etc.? I dunno - haven't spent enough time in them to really have a say.
@@christianrossmann5039 smaller cities means fewer jobs and often less pay if you get one. Not advisable for many. 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. Just about everywhere can get hot in summer even cooler places. Australia has most climates, even snow, but nothing like Canada or northern europe in winter.
My grand daughter is studying there. Proud to say
Gold Coast is the best place in the world!
I really like Australia and I believe One day I will get there
The pronunciation of the cities has me catus
No country is better than home no matter where you are.
Watching from Adelaide.
been there twice ,visited a dear husband n wife friend.
nice place....❤
Good luck finding accommodation at the prices you list, double it easily
The Gold Coast is next door to Brisbane. If you live in either city you can enjoy both. Its 57 mins from the heart of Brisbane City to the heart of the Gold Coast Surfers paradise by car (outside peak) or the cities share a rail network if you get an express train the journey isn’t too long either. I live on the south side of Brisbane and it’s about 25mins to say Movie World…. If we still went to theme parks.
Surfers paradise is an actual paradise ❤️
@@amansood7601paradise for crackheads
Australia is the best I'm Australian🇦🇺 raising fantastic country is a place you have to go to
As a Canadian we have similar history .I was just talking to someone from Australia that moved here from there. I asked him why I hate the cold ,wondering how as a Canadian I can move there?
As a Canadian I migrated to Australia 15 years ago. It's hard, but lookup the Australian Skilled occupation list (it's a list of professions that if you are in, you can easily migrate). A second option is to go as a student, and to persue one of those professions on the SOL list that wil let you move there permanently.
As a born a bred Londoner I emigrated to Australia in 1988 and I'd be lying if I said I didn't love the weather here. There is something about waking up to blue skies and sunshine pretty much every day that has a very positive effect on one's mental health. But like every other country on the planet, Australia is not perfect. I just watched a CZcams video of the world's safest countries and Canada was up in the top 5. New Zealand was also in the top 5 (no comment) but Australia was nowhere on the list.
Can't go past the Gong (Wollongong). Still small enough, close to Sydney without the rat race, subtropical mountain walks and best city beaches in Australia.
Yes but the crime and violence in Wollongong is high 😮
I'm thinking this but might be hard to make friends as a new 25 year old?
@@TamaEnergy There's quite a large number of international university student communities and social organisations if you're a student. For someone just moving here it would be easy to find clubs groups or community organisations with similar interests wether it be pushing your adrenaline to the limit or creating origami swans.
Well, these are all beautiful places but .....with quite unusual distances compared to other Countries in the world and this might make a difference for living. In Europe in a span of a couple of hours flight one can reach different Countries and cultures (think about UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and many others) while the nearest place to fly outside Australia is Perth/Singapore or similar which makes a 4 hours flight. From all the other places it make take up to 7 hours and with that transit-time from Europe one flies to North america....just for comparison. It's really true ...OZland is right in the middle of nowhere.
Being an American who's lived in Sydney for about 22 years I can tell you life here is easier than in the States. Biggest downside to living in Australia is it's way way way too over-regulated in a not-so-good way and focuses to much on its revenue generation from the poor drivers. For example, I received a speeding ticket from a stationary speed camera stating I was 4kms over the speed limit. Just realize it's the Queens rule here which is a different way of living than in the States.
Thanks
100%. I find it odd the way Aussies are fine with it but talk to anyone who grew up overseas and that's one of the first things they mention
@@hansel7203 Aussies accept that if you break the law of the speed limit then you cop a fine. We also realise that it is revenue raising, too. Unusual surname - where are you from?
Do the crime, pay the fine. We are more honest here, which is also why we pay our employees, rather than using a dodgy tip system.
You missed Newcastle, NSW off your list
The whole Of Australia is very good especially the country Side 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂🍾
Hmmmm 🤔... Within in staggering distance to the pub 😵💫 ... Walking distance to the brothel 🤑and... within chafing distance in bordies to the beach 😧... sounds bout right.
Amazing place
One love to the world
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). Would have been cool to see some smaller cities on this list.
You mean like Darwin and Cairns?
Melbourne traffic is now worse than Sydney.
You are absolutely correct. That's why I am leaving the East Coast and moving to Perth!
Perth was the only place I was able to buy a home, finally!🙄🙏
You do realise that these cities have millions of people living there, right? They seem to manage alright.
@@davidkelly3779 they weren’t exactly serious choices... Darwin is the most unaffordable city in the country (relative to local wages) and the weather is atrocious.
Nice Australia cities

@Wipuakliu Daimai it’s such a beautiful city for vacation…. How are you today?
Gold Coast is the best of the bests.

Which regional area would you recommend for a new immigrant in New South Wales? I’m looking at Illawarra, Central Coast or Hunter Region.
Just don't go to Western Sydney mate
@@daleeustice9108 why?
I think by going Australia one does not lose his money as well as he does not waste his time.So, going there worths a lot...
Nice❤
I love Sydney, I'll never move away from Sydney
Stay away from the big cities unless you absolutely have to. I left Australia 8 Years ago for Europe and returned 4 Years ago. I live 200km north of Adelaide, in a beautiful country Town, we have got a Supermarket, Dr's Surgery, a Service Station, a Hospital and a Chemist shop, only 25 km from the Admin Centre of the Area. Now 3 Years ago as we returned to Aussi, we purchased a 3-bedroom House on 1000m2 for 127K and life is beautiful. if you come to Aussi and you are not selective or in a hurry for any specific Job, move to Country Australia. I have lived in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, near Canberra and I can say without a second doubt, that I would never change.

Thanks.
Below 500 aud per week = rent and grocery
Brisbane, NUMBER ONE
Beautiful
I would move back to Adelaide tomorrow but I know Winter would kill me after too many years in the Tropics. Sydney is fine for people with money - and I mean Silicon Valley money - but that doesn't make the other cities 'cheap' unless you are moving from a really expensive part of the world. Ignore the stats re median wages in any state which has a lot of mining - those people earn every cent but it paints an unrealistic picture.
Adelaide has mild winter and dry summer.
@@humoursque8447 Its all relative - spend a year or two in Darwin and I guarantee you that 16 deg C will seem completely different to what it might feel like to the good people of SA. Even Brisbane's winter - the mildest of the real Aussie cities - would feel cold to me.
