Moving to Australia: Visas
There are a number of different visa options for people moving to Australia from the UK. If you are under the age of 45, then it is possible to gain entry via a skilled application visa. To apply for this, you need a good command of the English language and possess skills that are on Australia’s Skilled Occupation List or on the Employer Nomination Occupation List. Within this category of visas there are a number of sub categories, some of which offer permanent visas and some temporary. These do not require sponsorship unless the candidate is unable to meet the Skilled Independent pass mark.
A second type of visa is an employer-sponsored visa, of which there are also different types ranging from temporary to permanent. An employer makes the application for this, after offering the migrant a job.
Additionally there are family visas, which enable children, spouses, parents and other family members to join their Australian citizen or permanent resident family members in Australia.
Anyone applying for a visa must be in good health and some applications require the candidate to undertake medical tests, for which they must bear the full cost – even if the application is unsuccessful.
Moving to Australia – Schools and Universities
Australian schools are of very high standard, and offer a varied mix of education. Children in Australia must attend school from the age of five to fifteen as a minimum. Schooling starts with kindergarten followed by 12 years of primary and secondary school. There are plenty of schooling choices including government schools, private schools, boarding schools, single sex and co-educational schools.At the age of 15, students have the option to complete the Senior Secondary Certificate of Education in year 12, and then go on to university. Less academic students may prefer to study a vocational training course in year 12, which will teach them a trade.
Moving to Australia: Health Care
There is a wide range of health care in Australia, which includes both public and private hospitals, and many different insurance schemes to fund treatment. The state run health care scheme is Medicare, and anyone with a permanent visa or citizenship is eligible to join. Medicare entitles a person to receive healthcare in public hospitals, subsidised medicines and out of hospital care. Ambulance transportation, dental care, private treatments and optometry are not covered.
On arrival in Australia, you can apply for membership by taking your passport and travel documents to a Medicare office. Membership can be applied for 7-10 days after your arrival in Australia.
Many Australians and migrants also take out private healthcare, to speed up treatment times.
