Going to Australia... What do I need to know?

Moving literally to the other side of the world! Australia is a unique country and a wonderful place to live. However, there are a few things you should be aware of beforehand:

  • Australia uses a 240V power network, while the Netherlands operates on 220V. Ensure you have the right adapters or consider purchasing new equipment in Australia. It might be best to leave old appliances behind, as they may not handle the higher voltage well.
  • The import policy in Australia is very strict, particularly regarding live animals. Bringing your pet to Australia is possible but requires careful planning. You must notify Australian customs at least five months in advance if you plan to bring a pet.
  • After arrival, your pet will be required to quarantine for at least 30 days.
  • To live and work in Australia, you need a “Skilled Migrant” visa. This is proof that you contribute to the Australian economy. You will be assessed on factors such as language skills and education, and if you accumulate enough points, you will be granted a residence permit.

    Your personal moving coordinator

    At Royal De Gruijter & Co. you will be assigned a personal move coordinator who will assist you before, during and after the move.
    This ‘personal assistant’ will ensure that all matters surrounding your emigration to Australia are well prepared and taken care of.
