Australian Visa Application Australian immigration is an ideal option for those seeking to establish a new life in a new country. A recent survey by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) rated five Australian cities i.e. Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney as being amongst the best cities in the world to live in. The ratings were based on a combination of the cities' infrastructure, access, education levels, crime rate, environment, culture, events and diversity as well as their connections with the rest of the world. Australia's employment rates are at its highest levels since statistics were collected in 1978. This coupled with a vibrant and multicultural economy not only makes Australia an ideal place to call home, but a place where opportunities abound for those who seek it.
