Poms in Paradise? Are Brit expats in Oz better off staying, or going back to the UK?

Introduction

Ever since the TV soap “Neighbours” hit our screens in the 1980’s, many Brits have fixated on the way of life in Australia, which many have seen as more prosperous, with better weather, friendlier people and potentially a better quality of life all round. Since the 80’s, thousands of Brits have made the leap over to Oz, hoping to make a better life for themselves.

But more recently, some Brits in Oz have started to question their place over there and started to ask the question: “Would we be happier and better off back in the UK, or should we stay in Oz?” 

This infographic weighs up some of the issues at stake, and attempts to help UK expats in Oz answer that question…

So as you can see, according to our study, UK expats in Oz would, in 2013, experience a better way of life and standard of living “down under” than if they moved back to the UK. Simple!

This is the current situation; it may change in the years to come. Each expat will have personal reasons to move abroad, and these are often the deciding factor in deciding where to live. But when making this important decision, it helps have the quality of life data to hand!
