Possibilty near to beach but also close to shops and town Welcome to the forum. If you are looking to emigrate next year, then start now - because the whole process takes between one and two years. The best way to start is to have a free consultation with a good migration agent like Go Matilda or Pinoy Australia. That will give you a clear idea of what visa you can get. Adelaide is a lovely city that's easy to get around. It's far too early to be thinking about areas to live in, to be honest! The only thing I'd say is that the job market is tough there, much more so than the other cities. You might want to look at Newcastle in NSW as an alternative - like Adelaide it's not too big, not too expensive and has great beaches. 1 Scot by birth, emigrated 1985 | Aussie husband applied UK spouse visa Jan 2015, granted March 2015, moved to UK May 2015 | Returned to Oz June 2016 "The stranger who comes home does not make himself at home but makes home itself strange." -- Rainer Maria Rilke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Healthcare is a pretty major part of the SA economy so you shouldn't have any problems from that perspective - although you might want to do some research on that front to make sure before you commit. There are various engineering firms within Adelaide/SA but obviously it depends on what field your husband works in as to what opportunities exist here. Adelaide is a great place to live - commutes are short, traffic is non-existent by major city standards, we have lovely beaches, life is laid back and happy and the weather is great (we have four distinct seasons unlike the top half of Australia). The trade-off for some of the benefits a smaller city has to offer is a smaller job market accordingly. I wouldn't write Adelaide off on the job front without doing further research specific to your and your husband's careers. Best of luck with your move whatever you decide! 2 309 visa granted and moved to Adelaide from Brighton UK in 2012. 100 visa and PR granted 2013. Became a citizen on Australia Day 2017.
