- Gold Coast: a warm climate and plenty to do, with retirement communities common. It is the busier of the two coastal hubs.
- Sunshine Coast: generally quieter and more relaxed, about an hour north of Brisbane, which helps when you need specialist care or a big shop.
- Perth: shares Bali's time zone, with beaches and a warm climate.
Not sure? We help you compare areas for your lifestyle, budget and health needs before you decide.
Cost of living
Costs vary a lot by city and lifestyle, so we do not quote one number. In a consultation we build a personal budget with you. The main things to plan for:
- Rent or purchase, and moving costs
- Utilities, internet and mobile
- Groceries and eating out
- Transport or a car
- Health insurance
- Out-of-pocket health costs
- Visa and application fees, depending on your pathway
Healthcare and insurance
Medicare, Australia's public health scheme, is generally for Australian citizens, permanent residents, New Zealand citizens and some temporary visa holders. Many other newcomers need private health insurance, and some visas require adequate cover.
Your exact position depends on your visa, so check Services Australia and the Department of Home Affairs. We help you understand your options and where to go.
If you are retiring, speak with a licensed financial or tax adviser about pensions, super and tax. We are not financial or tax advisers.
Start with a conversation, then choose your level of support.

Good questions before you decide.
Is the first consultation really free?
Yes. The free consultation is 30 minutes, with no obligation.
What is the difference between the free and the personalised consultation?
The free consultation is a 30-minute introduction to your plans and the options. The personalised consultation is a paid 60-minute session for focused advice on your specific questions, without needing a package.
Which package is right for me?
Plan suits you if you are still preparing and want a clear personal plan. Settle adds hands-on help as you arrive. Complete adds in-person and ongoing support. If you are not sure, start with the free consultation and we will recommend a level.
Can you help with my visa?
We guide you through the pathway and prepare your documents, working with trusted partner providers. Rules change from time to time, so we confirm the current requirements with our partners before you commit.
How far ahead should I plan?
Planning usually starts several months before the move, depending on your visa and how much preparation you have already done.
Can my family help organise the move?
Yes. We can work with you and your family, so adult children can stay involved while we handle the practical steps.
Do I need a visa to retire in Australia?
Most people do, but the right pathway depends on your nationality, age, finances and plans. Our trusted partner providers confirm the options that apply to you, and we plan the rest of your move around them.
Will I be able to use Medicare?
Medicare is generally for Australian citizens, permanent residents, New Zealand citizens and some temporary visa holders. Many other newcomers need private health insurance, and some visas require adequate cover. Your exact position depends on your visa, so check Services Australia and the Department of Home Affairs. We help you understand your options.
Where should I retire in Australia?
It depends on your lifestyle, budget and health needs. The Gold Coast is warm and busy, the Sunshine Coast is generally quieter, and Perth shares Bali's time zone. We help you compare areas before you decide.
How much does it cost to live in Australia?
Costs vary a lot by city and lifestyle, so we do not quote one number. In a consultation we help you build a personal budget that covers rent, utilities, groceries, transport, health insurance and moving costs.
What about pensions, super and tax?
These are regulated advice, so we are not the right source. We recommend speaking with a licensed financial or tax adviser, and we can help you prepare your questions and timeline.
We help you relocate to other countries too.
Our relocation and retirement support covers Bali, Australia and Malaysia. Hover over a card to see the fun side, then choose how we can help.
