Cost of living comparison
Have you thought about how much money you could save by living in a different city to the one you are currently living in?
The most expensive major city for housing and utilities is Sydney. To give you a comparison of how much more it is, check out how it compares to the other cities in Australia – it’s 36% more expensive than Melbourne and 52% more expensive than in Hobart.
Sydney is also the most expensive city for transport. Public transport in the country’s most populated city is more expensive than every other capital and Hobart is 58% cheaper than in Sydney. Transport in Melbourne is about 18% less than in Sydney.
Sydney still has the claim as the most expensive city in Australia and Hobart is marginally the cheapest capital city to live in.
How we do it
It is a big step to apply for a job in Tasmania. But you won’t be alone when you arrive. You’ll find others who have made the decision to leave metropolitan life behind to create something extraordinary here.
Being Tasmanian isn't about where you were born. It's a way of life and what you value.
Did you relocate or return home to Tasmania to live, play or work or all of the above Anna? I relocated to Tassie to live with more work / life balance – so I guess all of the above!
What would you say to someone who is hesitant about relocating for a job opportunity? It is scary at first, unless you give it a go you’ll never know what it will be like; it is hard making new friends/connections when starting over again, however joining various sporting or social groups helps make it easier. Also getting out there & networking with other business like minded professionals, getting out & about travelling around the state (local or further away from where you are living), whenever possible is my advice.
How has relocating or returning home to Tassie help you grow personally or professionally? Relocating to Tassie has helped me to grow both personally & professionally. Personally, as I have had to step out of my “comfort zone” join groups to make new friends & professionally as learning the processes of the company that I gained employment with & seeing how different companies work.
Did you relocate or return home to Tasmania to live, play or work or all of the above Nathan? Work opportunity however I have always had a fondness for Tassie. It was important to me that I was sure I had a work opportunity before moving.
What would you say to someone who is hesitant about relocating for a job opportunity? Take the plunge. Its hard to move forward when you have your eyes in the rearview mirror. The people are incredibly friendly, its a great place to raise a family and there isn’t any real barrier to go back and visit family on the mainland.
How has relocating or returning home to Tassie help you grow personally or professionally? Enhanced my direct family’s independence and help the kids to step up. Overall, I have grown more with confidence and decision making. Professional development for me has never been about location, rather its those I interact with and the businesses I work or support.
Did you relocate or return home to Tasmania to live, play or work or all of the above Amanda? All of the above. I grew up in Tassie but left to explore the world when I was younger. I have lived in Perth, Brisbane, New York and Sydney. I always thought I would retire back home in Tassie but I am so happy that I came home earlier.
What would you say to someone who is hesitant about relocating for a job opportunity? Do it! Pack your things and take on a new adventure. The last few years have taught us to say “yes” to new experiences as nothing is guaranteed!
How has relocating or returning home to Tassie help you grow personally or professionally? It’s not always easy and it has taken me about 12 months to really feel settled. Doing a big move can feel uncomfortable at times, but I relish in the opportunities to grow. I feel it has helped me find my confidence, courage and resilience again – people talk about sea and tree changes all the time but not everyone will actually do it.
