Achieve a work- life balance with a tree change
|
Tired of the same daily grind? Want a better work- life balance? Don’t underestimate the potential work opportunities that regional towns across Australia offer baby boomers. Do some research, take the time to plan, and read how you can make the most out of a move away from the big smoke.
Regional towns are full of work and development opportunities
Living and working in regional areas offers many lifestyle benefits: more time to spend with family and friends, a healthier life, fresh air, space, engagement with the community, and a much more manageable work-life balance.
Your skills and passion will be quickly noticed and nurtured in these communities. You have the opportunity to have a fair broader impact and experience than you would get back in the big smoke.
There are opportunities for people interested in making the move into:
- education
- health
- local government
- construction
- agriculture.
Plus, with property prices often lower than the cities, you can reduce your financial stress by leaving more for your retirement nest egg. |
Some tips to consider before making you tree change
Relocating is exciting and an opportunity for a major life change. But, if not carefully planned, it can also be expensive, stressful and a recipe for disaster.
Before you make your tree or sea change, consider:
- Are your pets going?
- What about your household goods?
- Can you get your prescriptions?
- What about your mobile and internet service?
- What is the real living cost?
- What sort of work do you want? Full-time, part-time, volunteer?
You don't have to go it alone. Some regional councils are starting to see the need to support people in the change by setting up a welcome team. They may even assist with some of the planning and organising of your move.
When relocating, you just need to know what to expect, what to request and how to ask for it. Relocating can be expensive, but according to the Employee Relocation Council the number one recommendation is to cover your bases.
