What do I need to know before retiring in Melbourne?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Melbourne, they said...

"Before retiring in Melbourne, expats should familiarize themselves with the Australian visa regulations and make sure they comply with the criteria for obtaining a retirement visa. It is also important to consider the cost of living in Melbourne, which offers a variety of lifestyle options, so that retirement plans fit the budget. A large number of health care options are available, so it is essential to check what services are covered by Medicare and any additional insurance needed so as to be adequately covered. Research into safety and security in the neighborhood of choice is important to ensure that living conditions meet the expectations of the retiree. Finally, research into the culture in Melbourne, including the sightseeing and leisure activities on offer, may help the expat find the best fit in terms of a home and lifestyle," remarked another expat who made the move to Melbourne, Australia, Australia.

"Melbourne is consistantly voted best city in world to live in by Economist magazine and others," explained one expat living in Melbourne, Australia.
