Book Description
Welcome to my book on moving to Australia, from getting there to living there. This is the most up to date book on the market but is also unlike other books which mainly focus on the relocation of the move as this also includes the visa journey, visa criteria and navigating the points and skills assessment.The book is split into four parts starting with information on Australia, such as lifestyle, the cost of living and some of the things you should consider before you decide to embark on migration. The next section is the various routes to Australia, such as some of the visa's available, criteria required to be successful and skills assessments, etc. Section three is the things you need to do whilst still in your home country, information on shipping, transporting pets and more. While section four gives an idea of what you should do to enable an easy transition into your new life in Australia, such as education, buying cars, and renting houses. Deciding whether to make a move to another country is one that is enormous, scary and once you start the process can be extremely overwhelming. The sheer amount of what you need to do, from researching if your occupation is in demand, to deciding on schools for your children. There are many elements to consider and I do hope you not only find this book very useful but that it also saves you from the many expensive mistakes many have made before you. Although, it can be an amazingly rewarding journey, it can also be so tiresome and this is the reason I decided to put my knowledge, which I have gained over the last twelve years, into this very unique book.

Your D.I.Y. Move Guide to Australia is a relocation guide, written by experts who both experienced several of their own international moves with children and pets across four continents. They have helped and supported others with their relocations to Australia for over a decade. It can be used as a guide by prospective immigrants and international students who want to study in Australia. Many of the chapters provide the reader with professional knowledge, practical hints and valuable information that apply to all people who are thinking of immigration and also for those who already took the big step. It will further help the reader to avoid unnecessary and sometimes very costly mistakes. The motivation for this guide arose from the crazy questions and outdated advice on forums and social media. Saddened by stories of families who have been displaced or are falling apart, and the cries of money wasted, and expectations shattered, Robyn and Hendrika had to share their vast and professional knowledge: - To save you money on this expensive journey.- To help you and your family prepare for change.- To give you foresight, both financially and emotionally. The guide is filled with practical advice on moving with children and pets, expert tips for the whole family and lots of funny "faux pas" immigrant moments. In short, the authors have made or seen most of the blunders, and in this book, they share real-life stories, for your benefit, so you can avoid making the same mistakes. A smooth immigration process equals less stress and more positive experiences for the whole family. Between the two authors, Robyn Vogels and Hendrika Jooste, they have a total of 35 years of experience with international relocations and assisting newcomers to Australia. This guide provides you with the nuts and bolts of moving, and practical hints and valuable information to help you: - Plan and budget for the move and the cost of living in Australia.- Find a suitable home and school.- Deal with culture shock (the same, but different). You will find the knowledge you need to make a successful, cost-effective transition and create your own success story. Knowledge is power! This guide will save you money and emotional pain!

Growing Up African in Australia
Author: Maxine Beneba Clarke
Publisher: Black Inc.

Languages : en
Pages : 288
Book Description
I was born in Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe. My dad was a freedom fighter, waging war for an independent state: South Sudan. We lived in a small country town, in the deep south of Western Australia. I never knew black people could be Muslim until I met my North African friends. My mum and my dad courted illegally under the Apartheid regime. My first impression of Australia was a housing commission in the north of Tasmania. Somalis use this term, “Dhaqan Celis”. “Dhaqan” means culture and “Celis” means return. Learning to kick a football in a suburban schoolyard. Finding your feet as a young black dancer. Discovering your grandfather’s poetry. Meeting Nelson Mandela at your local church. Facing racism from those who should protect you. Dreading a visit to the hairdresser. House- hopping across the suburbs. Being too black. Not being black enough. Singing to find your soul, and then losing yourself again. Welcome to African Australia. Compiled by award-winning author Maxine Beneba Clarke, with curatorial assistance from writers Ahmed Yussuf and Magan Magan, this anthology brings together voices from the regions of Africa and the African diaspora, including the Caribbean and the Americas. Told with passion, power and poise, these are the stories of African-diaspora Australians. Contributors include Faustina Agolley, Santilla Chingaipe, Carly Findlay, Khalid Warsame, Nyadol Nyuon, Tariro Mavondo and many, many more. ‘A deeply moving and unforgettable read – there is something to learn from each page. FOUR AND A HALF STARS’ —Books+Publishing ‘A complex tapestry of stories specific in every thread and illuminating as a whole ... The wonderful strength of this anthology lies in the easily understood and the never imagined.’ —Readings ‘In the face of structural barriers to health care, education, housing and employment, the narratives in Growing Up African are tempered with stories of deep courage, hope, resilience and endurance.’ —The Conversation ‘Growing Up African in Australia is almost painfully timely. It speaks to the richness of a diaspora that is all too often deprived of its nuances ... Lively, moving, and often deeply affecting, it is an absolute must-read.
