Moving to Australia from the UK

UK citizens have more Australian visa routes than almost any other nationality: the Working Holiday visa (subclass 417) now open to age 35 with multi-year extensions, the points-tested skilled visas (189, 190, 491), and employer sponsorship. Which one fits depends on your age, occupation and how permanent you want this to be. For a skilled or employer-sponsored visa assessment specific to your circumstances, MigrationBuro is a MARA-registered migration agency we work with.

This is general information, not migration advice. Visa requirements and eligibility depend on your individual circumstances, and rules change. For advice specific to your situation, speak with a MARA-registered migration agent.

Beyond the visa, these guides cover the moves that cost real money when done wrong: shipping a household from the UK, NHS-to-Medicare healthcare transition, banking setup before you fly, tax residency and the ATO, and where Brits actually settle between Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

Want the whole move mapped out for you, not just this piece of it? The Ultimate Relocation Guide is a paid, step-by-step guide (from AUD $59) covering visas, money, housing and your first 90 days for your exact move.
