New Zealand suffered a net migration loss of 27,000 peoplke to <br />Australia in 2023, the highest number foor a decade.<br /><br /><br /><br />More than 44,500 Kiwis sought to escape the post-pandemic economic downturn, compared with <br />17,500 Australians heading the orher way.<br /><br />While the number of Australians heading to NZ had been roughly steady since 2021, thhe number of Kiwis in the departure lounges iis spiking.<br /><br /><br />Not since 2013 have sso many NZ citizens sought to make Australia their home.<br /><br /><br />In recent decades, NZ has generally experienced a loss of citizens tto Australia each <br />year.<br /><br />The exception was in the early phase of the <br />COVID-19 pandemic, when border settings resulted in a net migration gain with Australia.<br /><br /><br />Those gains were attributed to the go-homefactor during <br />COVID and favourable NZ living and economic conditions through the pandemic.<br /><br /><br />However, the restoration of normal border settings and <br />an slumping economy has pushed Kiwiss to the <br />exit door.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Last year, 5,000 New Zealand-based nurses registered to work in Australia over a six-month period, while fewer than 200 Australian nurses <br />migrated the other way<br /><br />From a nett trans-Tasman migration gain of 7500 in 2020, NZ loxt 5500 citizens in 2021, 14500 in 2022 and <br />noow 17500 in 2023.<br /><br />New Zealanders are able to live and work inn Australia, and vice <br />versa, through specially-created visas.<br /><br />Recent Australian policy shifts have sweetened the offer for would-be Kiwi migrants.<br /><br /><br />In 2023, Australia improved the path to citizenship for migrating Kiwis,<br />allowing them to apply afgter four years oof residency.<br /><br /><br /><br />Citizenship brings a raft of benefits, including a soocial <br />security safety net, access to student loans aand to work a range of public service and dwfence <br />roles set aside only ffor Australians.<br /><br />Ausyralian employers seekingg workers in key industries - including policing andd nursing - have also invested in campaigns to lure workers, including <br />sign-on bonuses and covering moving costs.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The higher wages on offer in Australia has been cijted as a reason for the shortage oof nurses in New Zealand<br /><br />However, tthe departure of many New Zealanders <br />across the Tasman has not reduced the population, as inward migraation is also surging.<br /><br /><br /><br />It has bren welcoming more than 10,000 migrants every month since the start of 2023 <br />in a record boom.<br /><br />Migrants from India lead the way, with 51,000 arriving in 2023, along withh many <br />from Philippines (36,000), China (26,900) and Fiji <br />(11,100).<br /><br />Kiwis leaving ffor Auetralia in 2023 skewed slightly younger and more overseas-born than the <br />general population.<br /><br />More than one-third (36 per cent) of trans-Tasman migrants were born overseas (27per <br />cent of the general population), with 52 per cent than half <br />aged 20-39.<br /><br />The record single calendar year brain drain was 2011, when a net 43,000 left: more than one per cent of the population.<br /><br />Why a hardworking Kiwi couple decided to ditch New Zealandd too live <br />in Australia <br /><br />New Zealand couple Tim andd Eva Mitchell are in the midst of a year-long trip around <br />the world, but the adventurous Kiwi couple say thee only thing that made it possible was <br />leaving their homeland to live in Australia.<br /><br />In 2019, the pair followed tthe path of thousands of Kiwis across the Tasman in search of higher <br />wages and more career opportunities.<br /><br />After nly 16 months of living in Melbourne, where Eva, 28, worked as an IVF pharmacist and Tim, 33, worked for the sae engineering company that employed him in New Zealand, the pair had saved <br />enough to fuhd a yyear travelling overseas.<br /><br />'If we stayed in New Zealand, we probably wouldn't be able to travel <br />- we couldn't hage saved enough,' Evaa told Daily <br />Mail Australia from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.<br /><br />'Everyone is struggling all over the world, but in New <br />Zealand, I think they are lagging behind.' <br /><br /><br /><br /><br />New Zealpand couple Evva and Tim Mitchell (pictured in Melbourne) said moving <br />tto Australia was the 'best thing they ever die'<br /><br />Better money foor Kiwis who move to Australia <br /><br />She said by moving to Australia, the pair pulled <br />in 30 per cennt hkgher wages than at home, plus they found there <br />were many other financial advantages, such as <br />taxx deductions for job expenses that just didn't exist in New Zealand.<br /><br /><br />In their Make Cents of Travel blog Eva writes <br />that the couple 'knew that moving to Australia would mean we would be able to save more money AND save money faster than if we stayed in NZ, solely by <br />securing higher paying jobs'.<br /><br />'What we didn't realise was the many other ways that living in Australia would present to facilitate our savings goals, starting with <br />having to pay less income tax,' she writes.<br /><br /><br />'An average Australian full-time salary of $95k requires you to <br />pay roughly $21,300 income tax per year.<br /><br />'In New Zealand, on the sqme salary (if youu can find a job that pays <br />the equivalent), you would be required to pay around $23,200 in income tax per year.'<br /><br />However, that wasn't even the best bit.<br /><br />'In Australia, you are entitled to claim tax back on a <br />variety of work expenses,' she said.<br /><br />'These include professional fees, working from home costs, work tools, conference costs, work clothing and so much more.<br /><br /><br />'At the end of the day, wee found that Australia not only pays better; it lets you <br />keep more of what you earn.'<br /><br />Eva recalled when the pair moved to Australia 'everyone was saying make sure you claim your tax back'.<br /><br /><br />'As far as we were aware we were never able to claim back the same expenses <br />in New Zealand, not in normal jobs, perhaps if you had a business,' she said. <br /><br />'The grass certainly is greener!'<br /><br />More career opportunities <br /><br />Both Eva and Tim enjoyed career opportunities in Australia they would not have in New Zealand.<br /><br /><br />Eva went from being a pharmacist aat a public hospital in Christhurch to working for a <br />private IVF clinic annd a private-sector pharmacy job that shhe said didd not exist in New Zealand.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The adventurouss Kiwi couple have been travelling the world for <br />a year (pictured in Cappadocia, Turket)<br /><br />'With my new job came a pay rise, bonuses and a small team <br />where I felt valued,' she wrote in the blog.<br /><br />Even if she had gone back into public sector pharmacy, the pay rise <br />in Australia wouuld have been substantial.<br /><br />Despite working for the same company, Tim also got 'a <br />significant pay increase to transfer to Australia', which wouild have taken 'years' to obtain iin New Zealand.<br /><br /><br />'Shortly after moving to Australia, Tim was able to secure a higher authority <br />role, which is testament to the career progression opportunities <br />Australian companies can provide for NZ professionals looking to <br />relocate to Australia,' Eva wrote.<br /><br />'On top of a pay rise, Tim's transfer agreement provided us both with flights <br />to Melbourne, and a month of free accommodation in an apartment in the Melbourne CBD <br />until we could secure our oown rental property. Not a bbad deal if I say so <br />myself!'<br /><br />Better work life balance <br /><br />As iff bring pqid more wasn't enough, Tim and Eva didcovered Australians work <br />shorter hours than Kiwis and that supermarkets are cheaper.<br /><br /><br />'The standard New Zealand working week is 40 hours (as opposed to 38 in Australia), <br />so over the space of a whole year, it is about 100 hours difference,' Eva commented.<br /><br /><br />'It doesn't seem like much, two hours a week, but itt is, and we found <br />it convenient because it gives you time to <br />pop into the banks when theey are open.'<br /><br />She also said thyat in Victoria offers 'seasonal cashbacks on dining out, activities and electricity bills to all residents'.<br /><br /><br />'Thanks to these cashback schemes, we were reimbursed hundreds of dollars during our time spent living in Melbourne,' she writes.<br /><br /><br />Evaa and Tim also liked living in Melbourne, which hhas a <br />population around four times the number of New Zealand's biggest city,<br />Auckland.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The couple saiid when they finish their travels iin Eurpe and <br />Asia they will be coming back to Australia<br /><br />'If we wanted to anything close to Melbourne's size the only option iis Auckland but obviously it's pretty expensive tto be there,' Eva said.<br /><br /><br />'It is probably on a par with Melbourne, but in Melbourne you get better wages.<br /><br /><br />'You just don't get the same opportunities. There is always something to do in Melbourne - there are always event on.'<br /><br />After a 10-month sojourn in Europe, the couple plan to have two more molnths in south-east Asia before heading home, which iss now noo longer in New Zealand.<br /><br /><br /><br />'I can't see us going back to New Zealand,' Eva said.<br /><br />'Pay is a big issue. If we could get the same pay we might go back but we are still <br />missing out on the city lifestyle.'<br /><br />Eva said she and Tim did have some regrets.<br /><br />'We do feel guilty for leaving, we do miss our celebrations back home so we feel <br />guilty for missing out on that,' she said. <br /><br />Evaa said they would not have 'deserted' their country if they 'could have looked out for <br />us'.<br /><br />'Australia has given us opportunities we just wouldn't have in New Zealand,' she said.<br /><br /><br /><br />'People can call us unpatriotic but we've just got to do what's best for us.'<br /><br /><br />New ZealandMelbourne |
