Australia is located in Oceania in the southern hemisphere, with a total area of 7.69 million square kilometers. According to the 2019 census data, Australia has a national population of about 25.22 million which is heavily concentrated in the east coast, the states, the Australian Capital Territory and the western coastal city of Perth. It is the one of the most sparsely populated countries in the world.
The vast territory spans a long range of latitude and longitude, so it has a wide variety of natural landscapes with diverse climates, including tropical rainforests, Great Victoria Desert, the world-famous natural heritage Great Barrier Reef and Uluru etc. It also keeps countless precious and unique species since ancient times, such as kangaroos, koalas and platypuses.
The exploitation of mineral resources, animal husbandry and dairy industry, tourism, secondary and tertiary education and finance are the pillar industries of the country’s economy. Australia is the 13th largest economy in the world and has the world’s nineth-highest per capita GDP. It ranks at the forefront of developed countries in the areas of economic scale, national income, scientific research, medical benefits and education.
Why Australia?
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) published the Global Liveability Index 2019 which rate 140 cities for their urban quality of life based on the assessments of stability (safety), healthcare, culture and environment, education and infrastructure. Each aspect is scored and weighted to arrive at the total score.
Australian cites feature in the top ten: Melbourne (in second), Sydney (in third) and Adelaide (in tenth) in the Index. Coupled with advanced medical system, world-class education and abundant cultural activities and natural environment, Australian cities are stable and safe and livable in many ways. Australia is obvious the best choice for migration.
