When you're relocating to Sydney, there are some things you'll need to know to make your move smoother.

• A car is necessary in many areas of Sydney, although many areas are well serviced by public transport.

• Housing and rental prices in Australia are fairly high, and most people are shocked at how much they will need to pay to find housing in some areas of Sydney.

• Enjoy Sydney: it has a lot to offer, from breaches to shops, entertainment, Blue Mountains, cafes and restaurants, dancing and of course the Zoo.

• We have an excellent healthcare system, and being a capital city, we are blessed to have excellent access to a full range of medical and health services seven days a week. Ensure that you have health insurance arranged before you arrive.
