Where should I setup a bank account in Broome?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Broome what banks they use and there advice about banking. They advised...

"Expats considering retirement in Broome should be aware of several key factors. Firstly, they should understand the cost of living, which can be higher than in other parts of Australia due to its remote location. They should also be prepared for the hot, tropical climate, which includes a wet season with heavy rainfall and a dry season with high temperatures. Healthcare in Australia is of a high standard, but expats should ensure they have adequate health insurance coverage. They should also be aware that Broome is a small town with limited medical facilities, so serious medical conditions may require travel to a larger city. Expats should also consider the lifestyle in Broome, which is laid-back and relaxed, with a strong focus on outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and exploring the surrounding wilderness areas. The town has a diverse population, with a mix of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, as well as people from many different cultural backgrounds. English is the main language spoken in Broome, but there are also many people who speak other languages, including Aboriginal languages and various Asian languages. Expats should also be aware that Broome is quite isolated, with the nearest major city, Perth, being over 2,000 kilometers away. Finally, expats should understand the visa requirements for retiring in Australia, which may include proving they have sufficient funds to support themselves, and may also require them to invest a certain amount of money in Australia," remarked another expat who made the move to Broome, Australia.
