Migrating to australia now is not a good time. Unemployment is now marginally higher than the US at 6%,if you include underemployment,is around 13-15%, iron ore.price halved,so mining is in trouble, oil and gas also affected,manufacturing jobs is dwindling with all car factories shutting down with ancillary companies by 2016 and 2017 and the stupid Abbort govt and practcing dumb EU style austerity which has contracted govt spending ,causing fiscal policy failure.
If you want to work there with good job security,try join education as lecturer or research assistant,used to be easy to get for foreign grads into research assistant positions coz aussie think research assitant pay is not much but now they aussies want RA positions with the current economy situation.
Australia is a nice place blue sky,clean streets and apparently no corruption. But it is very bloody expensice, rent and utilities can wipe out your entry level salary, houses are expensive....many middle class migrants from india and china and other developing countriws came, stayed 2 years looking fir jobs and wiping out their life savings...some end up becoming bus drivers and taxi drivers.mind you, Last year, a copule of aussies died due to hypothermia during winter while sleeping in their car, so having a shelter is important unless u arebin warm perth,darwin and queensland. If you think you can beg for centrwlink welfare, they have revised the dolw system that many cant afford to rent their own rooms with the jobseekers allowance.
The only ones becoming PR now are one.who are rich,can afford the PR and visa fees, open a shell business to get business visa and have connection to get jobs...meritocracy wont work all the time in the lucky country...networking isnimpirtant,ask ur relatives if they are crony of some business owning or corporate aussie guys or kbow some malaysians already there who can at least hwlp you settle down. Linking with Malaysian student associations there would be helpful too even if its the UMNO overseas club...
Not to say its impossible, but its tougher. Do your own research before making the big leap whether as an individual or as a family. Migrating there will cost alot of money and you may have to start all over again and your children may not adapt well to the environment..so you need to wear many hats at the same time.
Got your point. It ain't the best time to migrate now but it ain't the best time to stay in Malaysia either. So, whatever decision made, have faith. Migration is always a personal decision so choose wisely
