Dreaming of a new chapter in your life? Queensland, with its breathtaking nature and diverse economic opportunities, attracts more and more people. Whether tourism, agriculture, or services – the opportunities are varied. At GoMovin, we understand that such a step needs to be well-planned. That's why we offer you comprehensive support to make your emigration to Queensland as smooth as possible.
Queensland is not only an attractive destination for today's emigrants but also has a long history of German immigration. As early as the 19th century, settlers from Brandenburg, the Uckermark, Pomerania, Silesia, Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden, and Hesse were drawn to Queensland. These early immigrants significantly shaped regional development. This historical connection can help you today to find areas where there may still be German communities that can ease your transition.
Visa for Queensland: Here's how to succeed with immigration
Choosing the right visa is a crucial step in migrating to Queensland. There are various options available based on your individual circumstances. The Working Holiday Visa is ideal for young people aged 18 to 30 who wish to experience work and travel in Australia. If you possess specific qualifications and English language skills, the Skilled Migration Visa might be the right choice. There are special Business Visas for entrepreneurs and investors.
Regardless of the visa chosen, there are some general requirements you must meet. These include a valid passport, proof of sufficient English language skills, recognized qualifications, a police clearance certificate, and a health certificate. It is advisable to familiarize yourself early with the specific requirements of each visa type and, if necessary, seek professional assistance. Friederike Kuehn in Brisbane offers German-speaking migration advice and is a specialist in Australian migration law. More information can be found here.
Please note that Queensland has received fewer nomination places for the 2024/2025 program year. This makes it more difficult to obtain a Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) or a Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491) for Queensland. Therefore, it is advisable to develop an optimal Expression of Interest (EOI) strategy tailored to the specific requirements of Queensland. Professional advice can help you maximize your chances.
Relocating to Queensland: Planning is Key
Careful planning is the key to a successful relocation to Queensland. Start your preparation early and consider all important aspects. This includes the timely scheduling of your visa application. Submit your application as early as possible to allow ample time for processing. The transport of your personal belongings should also be well-organised. Explore the different options and costs associated with the move.
Other important steps include opening a bank account with one of the recommended banks such as Commonwealth, ANZ, Westpac, or NAB and applying for a Tax File Number. Compare offers from various mobile providers like Telstra, Optus, or Vodafone to find the right plan for your needs. GoMovin supports you through all these steps, ensuring you feel at home in your new place from the start. More information on planning can be found here.
Also, remember to convert your driver's licence if you live in Queensland for more than three months. This is a crucial step to ensure your mobility. A checklist for planning your move can be found here.
Living in Queensland: How to Find Your Dream Home
Queensland offers a variety of attractive places to live, from vibrant cities to idyllic rural areas. Brisbane and the Gold Coast are particularly popular, but the Sunshine Coast and the hinterland also have their charm. Choosing the right place to live depends on your individual preferences and needs.
The cost of living in Queensland can vary. In Brisbane, the average house prices are around AUD 650,000. For a 2-bedroom apartment, you should expect rental prices of about AUD 400-500 per week. The monthly living expenses for a couple are estimated at around AUD 3,000-4,000. It is advisable to research the different living options and costs in advance to plan your budget accordingly.
A typical house in Queensland is the so-called "Queenslander", a timber house on stilts. More information about it can be found here. This type of construction offers protection from flooding and ensures good ventilation. When looking for a home, you should also consider the climatic conditions and look for houses with good insulation and air conditioning.
Job search in Queensland: Your professional opportunities
Queensland offers diverse career opportunities, especially for professionals in high-demand industries. Medicine, nursing, IT, engineering, and teaching are fields where there are good job prospects. It's worth researching in advance which qualifications and experiences are particularly in demand in Queensland.
In addition to traditional jobs, there are also seasonal job opportunities, for example, as harvest workers in various regions like Stanthorpe, St George, Sunshine Coast, Bundaberg, Mackay, and Atherton Tablelands. There are also year-round vacancies in hospitality in Brisbane and Cairns. If you want to work in a bar, having an RSA certification is beneficial. Australian employers often prefer direct applications on site. The Whitsunday Islands also offer interesting job opportunities in tourism, especially for multilingual candidates.
To increase your job prospects, you should tailor your application documents to Australian customs and improve your English skills. GoMovin supports you in job searching and helps you prepare for the Australian job market. Information on work and travel in Queensland can be found here.
Experience Queensland: Culture, Leisure and Quality of Life
Queensland is known for its relaxed lifestyle and friendly residents. The integration for immigrants is generally straightforward. The numerous festivals and markets provide a great opportunity to get to know the local culture and make connections.
Queensland's natural attractions are another highlight. Visit the impressive national parks, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Daintree Rainforest. The public healthcare system (Medicare) offers a good basic level of care, but a private health insurance is recommended to cover additional services. It is advisable to inform yourself about the different insurance options in advance.
The relaxed atmosphere and the variety of leisure activities contribute to a high quality of life in Queensland. Whether surfing, hiking, or just relaxing on the beach – there is something for everyone here. You can find information about living in Australia here.
Restart in Queensland: Meeting Challenges
The emigration to Queensland is an exciting adventure, but there are also some challenges to overcome. The high cost of living can be a burden. Additionally, the bureaucratic hurdles in immigration should not be underestimated. It is advisable to familiarize yourself with the visa regulations early and, if necessary, seek the assistance of a registered migration agent (Migration Agents Registration Authority). The Australian embassy also provides information, see here.
Good English skills are essential to navigate and succeed in Queensland. Adjusting to the Australian culture can also take time. It is important to be open and tolerant and to embrace the new circumstances. The climatic conditions should also be considered. Avoid the rainy season (January-March) in the tropical north.
To make your new start easier, GoMovin offers comprehensive support and advice. We help you to overcome the challenges and realize your dream of living in Queensland. Information about the cost of emigration can be found here.
