We have received many inquiries from students on what precautions and other essential things to know before moving to Australia. First of all, we like to congratulate all the students whose applications are verified for an educational visa in Australia. This blog would be quite helpful for the students who have just created an imprecise idea of Australia via visual media and social platforms.

It is a common perception that the continent of Australia is full of beautiful beaches and the climate is considered to be a perfect tropical one. In the visual media, Australians are always being displayed as enjoying the beautiful beaches while engaging themselves in activities like paragliding and surfing.

But the reality is far different from the displayed representation. Australia is a huge country and the perception regarding it varies for different locations. If the area of Australia is taken into account, it covers around 3/4^th of the surface area of Europe. The major cities like Perth and Sydney are 3934 kilometers apart, which is approximately the distance between Ukraine and Portugal (far apart countries in Europe). This helps to give you an idea of the size of Australia.

Huge gap in the weather
It is mostly the students from Indian subcontinent, who have raised the queries regarding this issue. There are very few fluctuations in the weather of Indian subcontinent throughout the year. The scenario is much different in Australia, you could observe the scorching heat of 42 degree Celsius and freezing temperature of 3 degree Celsius round the year at the same place.

In the cities of Melbourne and Sydney, the winter becomes unbearable and this is one of the things to know before moving to Australia.  Hence the students should consider jackets and winter wears as a precaution before traveling to these cities in winter. The winter is generally observed in the months from June to August in Australia, which is quite opposite to the weather of the countries situated in the northern hemisphere. The weather in Australia alters suddenly and hence it is very hard to predict it. It is very hard to say whether you should consider a coat or an umbrella while leaving home the next day.

The temperature of 42 degree Celsius could be perceived as a very minor issue by the students from the Indian subcontinent since they experience the same heat every summer in their native place. But it should be understood that the weather conditions in Australia are intense and different from that of the Indian subcontinent. You may suffer sunburn even at the temperature between 30 to 35 degree Celsius.

It was in recent news that the heat waves in Sydney have resulted in the melting down of tarmac roads and caused substantial loss to the wildlife. The scientific study has shown that the ozone layer above Australia is extremely thin which leads to the direct exposure of UV rays.

Dangerous insects and animals
There are a vast number of freely wandering organisms in Australia that has the potential to kill you. The students from the Indian subcontinent may consider it a trivial factor since they would have already witnessed elephants, cows, camels, etc. on their local streets. But the range of venomous organisms you have to deal with in Australia is entirely different.

You may encounter poisonous spiders that may creep into your room and hide in concealed places like shelves, boots, clothes, etc. Every thing should be shaken and properly checked before its use. The continent is full of venomous reptiles and insects and it is highly recommended to take high precautions before visiting the woods.

Even a harmless-looking koala could infect you with chlamydia. Though the animals like kangaroo are portrayed as very special and calm beings in visual media, they are perceived as the regular trouble makers in farmlands.

Local Slangs
Though the official language of Australia is English, the presence of local dialects makes it very hard to understand it. Even a person with excellent knowledge in English communication would get confused in Australia. Some terms and dialects in Australia are very confusing if compared with the English followed in both USA and UK and it is also one of the things to know before moving to Australia. Every dialect resembles the nickname for the respective English words.

The nicknames are generally created by chopping the syllables of the words into half, following the addition of ‘y’ or ‘o’ in the end.  We have listed down some of the Australian dialects in the below section for your convenience.

Doona – Comforter

Servo – Gas station

Manchester – Bedsheets

Mozzy – Mosquitoes

No worries – You are welcome

Thongs – Flip flops

Arvo – Afternoon

Tinny – Beercan

Firie – Firefighter

Bottle-o – Beverage shops

High cost of living
Australia is a well-developed country and the per capita income of the population is very high. The lower margin of wages (almost $20 an hour) is much higher for Australia if compared to that of other western countries. By the dint of high spending capacity, the daily cost affairs are very high in Australia.

Especially if the person is from the Indian subcontinent, he would find it very costly to meet his basic daily requirements. Even a simple breakfast costs 20 dollars in Australia (no need to mention the price of basic beverages like coffee which costs $5). A person requires comparatively huge revenue to carry out basic activities like traveling and commuting, medical care, housing, etc.

Existence of casual racism
The delivery of casual racist jokes is not such a serious matter in the Australian community. You should be prepared for it and such jokes should not be treated with surprise or anger. It is one of the essential things to know before moving to Australia It is just casual racism and there is no violence or intent of malice entailed in it. Australia is a multicultural country and is well known for its respect for diversity.

Hence, we recommend our students to not feel humiliated or isolated while facing such casual racism. Try to control the build-up of negative emotions and focus your sole target of career building.
