What do I need to know before moving to Melbourne?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Melbourne, they said...

"Before moving to Melbourne, expats should familiarise themselves with the local climate and seasons. Melbourne has warm summers and cool winters, with temperatures ranging from around 20 degrees Celsius in winter, to over 30 degrees Celsius in summer. Additionally, Melbourne receives significant rainfall throughout the year and experiences four distinct seasons. It is also important to remember that Melbourne will often experience four seasons in one day, so it is advisable to bring appropriate clothing and layers. Melbourne is known for its multicultural and vibrant culture, with a wide variety of restaurant, bar and café options available to explore. Furthermore, the city is a hub of creativity, with an array of events, exhibitions, galleries and theatres to enjoy. Expats should also keep in mind that Melbourne is home to a public transport network that consists of trains, trams and buses, allowing them to get around the city with ease. With its lively atmosphere and array of amenities, Melbourne is an exciting city for expats to explore. By doing research and preparing for the local climate, expats will be well-equipped to settle into the city," explained one expat living in Melbourne, Australia, Australia.
