23.01.2022 September is Save the Koala Month. The Australian Koala is one of our most loved animals and an icon for Australia around the world. With many of our towns and cities encroaching further and further into native forest habitats, however, koalas are now highly endangered. The devastating bushfires at the start of 2020 meant even more of their precious habitats were destroyed. So if you see a fundraiser near you - maybe make a donation to help save the habitats of these beautiful animals and give them a home for the future.

18.01.2022 Did you know that it is Australian Flag day each year on September 3rd? The Australian flag. Australian National Flag Day, proclaimed in 1996 as a national day, celebrates the first time the flag was flown on 3 September 1901. On that day Prime Minister Edmund Barton announced the winners of a competition to design a flag for Australia. A large flag, 5.5 metres by 11 metres, was flown over the dome of the Exhibition Building in Melbourne. At that time the flag was known as the Commonwealth blue ensign; later, the flag became known as the Australian National Flag.

12.01.2022 Australia’s GSM programme is highly competitive. To achieve a visa, you must have the right strategy, from day one. Developing that strategy yourself can be time-consuming, frustrating and confusing. Do you know how to claim the maximum points? Do you know which occupations to avoid? Do you understand what evidence you will need to provide? Do you understand what a commitment to living in a regional area means? If you have answered ‘no’ to any of these questions - you need to seek help to navigate the process.

11.01.2022 Sarah, our founder and your Migration SuperHero, has a deep love of animals - all animals, so this month we have chosen to highlight a few of them especially ones that are endangered. This is because in addition to September being "Save the Koala" month, Australia is also focusing attention on threatened species. The Tasmanian Tiger was so threatened that, in 1936, the last remaining Tasmanian Tiger died in captivity. Supposed sightings of the Tasmanian Tiger continue to be reported over the years - so if you are in Tasmania - keep a look out!
