Start Your Expat Life in Adelaide!

Life in Australia is sunny and relaxed for the most part, and Adelaide is no different; beautiful beaches and attractive architecture abound. As the commercial center and capital of South Australia, and with an urban area housing over 1.5 million residents, Adelaide is a fast-growing and vibrant city. Despite the bustle, its relatively small size for a major city gives it a laid back, smaller town feel while retaining its status as a center for big business and industry. Adelaide is also extremely affordable, compared to its three biggest companion state capitals in Australia, making it an attractive destination for international expats. Although wages are lower in general than some other cities, there are many key sectors, for which the Australian government is always looking for expats to fill vacant positions that operate in or around Adelaide. The local mining industry is also seeing heavy investment, so economic opportunities are definitely available for expats with the right skills.
