Short-term accommodation
We book furnished short-stay accommodation near your new job before you fly, then help you navigate the rental market — references, applications and suburb shortlists that fit your commute and budget.
Moving to Australia from the UK — landing soft, not hard
The visa grant isn't the finish line — it's the starting whistle. The first eight weeks decide whether a move feels like an adventure or an ordeal. We make it the adventure. If employer sponsorships are part of your move, we help negotiate relocation support before you fly.
Flights & shipping your tools
Group-rate flights, and container or air-freight options for your tools of trade. We advise on what's worth shipping, what to sell, and Australian biosecurity rules that catch people out.
Banking & tax file number
Australian bank account opened before you arrive, TFN application walked through, and guidance on transferring money without losing a chunk to exchange rates.
Medicare & health cover
The UK–Australia reciprocal healthcare agreement gives you limited Medicare access — we enrol you and explain what private cover you actually need (and what you don't).
Driving & getting around
UK licence conversion rules by state, buying a ute or car without getting ripped off, and insurance that doesn't treat you like a teenager.
Schools & family
State vs private vs Catholic schools, catchment areas, enrolment documents, and honest advice on family-friendly suburbs near your work.
Pets
Australia's pet import rules are strict and the timeline is long. We map out vaccinations, quarantine and flights for your four-legged family members.
Money loose ends in the UK
HMRC and the P85, what to do with your UK pension, keeping or closing UK accounts, and your National Insurance record — sorted before you go.
