What to Expect When Moving to Tasmania
When moving to Tasmania, you can expect to find vibrant communities, affordable housing and the home to around 500,000 people. From World Heritage-Listed mountain areas to underground art galleries, Tasmania is home to some remarkable sights and is a great place to move as a family as well as to explore.
Climate in Tasmania
Moving to Tasmania you will find a mild temperate climate with four distinct seasons. The warmest months of December to March have average highs of 17 to 23 degrees whilst winter months have an average of 3 to 11 degrees. Whilst the capital, Hobart, is Australia’s second-driest city after Adelaide, those moving to the west coast of Tasmania will experience substantially more annual rainfall.
Cost of Living When Moving to Tasmania
If you are thinking of moving to Tasmania, you can expect to find on average lower costs for rent and housing than on the mainland. Short commutes to town centres from many areas also help to keep living costs down. If you are moving to Tasmania from mainland Australia, you may also find that prices for things such as groceries are lower as well as public transport costs. However, depending on where you are moving from, some things such as home utilities may work out as more expensive.
Working in Tasmania
Whilst a number of people who move to Tasmania are able to keep their mainland jobs and work remotely, there are a number of areas in which those moving to the state can find work. The largest employer in Tasmania is the healthcare industry with many roles within this area available. Those looking to work in the education, agricultural, retail and hospitality sectors of Tasmania will find a wealth of choice whilst IT and administration roles are available in cities such as Hobart and Launceston.
