Living in Canberra

If you're thinking of a job change, why not make a lifestyle change too? Living and working in Canberra has much more to offer than you may have heard or imagined.

Here are five good reasons to make the change.

  • The ACT's average full-time weekly income is $1,202 – 15 per cent higher than the national average.
  • The ACT also enjoys the highest workforce participation rate in the country – this speaks of the employment opportunities for people moving in.
  • Only 9 per cent of Canberrans report high stress levels, compared to the national average of 12 per cent.
  • Canberra is a young city – the average age is 32.
  • It's a "20-minute city", where nothing is really far away and the roads are wide and well maintained.
  • Canberra is also expanding its shopping, nightlife and café restaurant facilities.
