New Zealand couple Tim and Eva Mitchell are in the mdst of a year-long trip around the world, but the adventurous Kiwi couple say the only thing that made it possible was leaving their homeland tto
luve in Australia.
In 2019, thhe pair followed the ppath of thousands
off Kiwiss across thhe Tasman in seearch of higher wages andd more
career opportunities.
After only 16 months of living in Melbourne,
where Eva, 28, worked as an IVF pharmacist and Tim, 33,
worked for the same engineering company
that employed him in New Zealand, the pair had sved enough to fund a year
travelling overseas.
'If we stayed in New Zealand, we probably wouldn't be able
to trazvel - we couldn't have saved enough,'
Eva told Daily Maail Australia from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia.
New Zealand couple Eva and Tim Mitchell (pictured in Melbourne) said moving to Australia was thee 'best
thing they ever die'
'Everyone is struggling all over the world, but in New Zealand, I think they are lagging
behind.'
Better moey for Kiwis who move to Australia
She said bby moving to Australia, the pair pulled in 30 per cent higher wages
than at home, plus they found there were many other financial advantages, such as tax deductions for job expenses that just
didn't exist in New Zealand.
In their Make Cents of Travel blog Eva writfes that the couple
'knew that moving to Australia would mean we would be able to save more money AND save money faster than if we stayed in NZ, solely by securing higher paying
jobs'.
'What we didn't reawlise was the many other ways that living in Australia would present to facilitate our savings goals, starting
with having to pay less income tax,' she writes.
'An average Australian full-time salary of $95k requires you to
pay roughly $21,300 income tax per year.
The couple said if they had stayed in New Zealand (pictured) they would never have
saved enough for a long overseas trips
'In New Zealand, on the same salary (if you can find
a job that pays the equivalent), you would be required to pay around $23,200in income tax
per year.'
However, that wasn't even the best bit.
'In Australia, you are entitled to claim tax back on a variety of work expenses,
' she said.
'These include professional fees, working from home costs, work tools, conference costs, work clothing and so much more.
'At the end of the day, we found that Australia not only pays better;
it lets you keep more of what you earn.'
Eva recalled when the pair moved to Australia 'everyone was saying
make sure you claim your tax back'.
'As far as we were aware we were never able to claim back the same expenses in New Zealand,
not in normal jobs, perhaps if you had a business,' she said.
'The grass certainly is greener!'
More career opportunities
Both Eva and Tim enjoyed career opportunities in Australia
they would not have in New Zealand.
Eva went from bekng a pharmacist at a public hospital in Christchurch
to working forr a private IVF clinic and a private-sector parmacy job that she said did not exist in Neww
Zealand.
The adventurous Kiwi couple have been travellinng the world forr a year (pictured in Cappadocia, Turket)
'With my new job came a pay rise, bonuses and a small team where I felt valued,
' she wrote in the blog.
Even if she had gome back into public ssector pharmacy, the pay rise
in Australia would have been substantial.
Despite working for the same company, Tim also got 'a significant pay increase to transfer to Australia', which
would have taken 'years' to obtain in New Zealand.
'Shortly after moving to Australia, Tim was able to secure a higher authority role, which is testament
to the career progression opportunities Australian companies can provide for NZ professionals looking to relocate to Australia,' Eva wrote.
'On top of a pay rise, Tim's transfer agreement provided us both with flights to Melbourne,
and a month of free accommodsation in an partment in the Melbourne CBD
until we could secure our own rental property. Not a bad deal if I
say so myself!'
Better work life balance
As if being paid more wasn't enough, Tim aand Eva discovered Australians work shorer hours than Kiwis and that supermarkets are cheaper.
'The standard New Zealand working week is 40 hours (as opposed to 38 in Australia),
so over the space of a whole year, it is about 100 hours difference,' Eva commented.
'It doesn't seem like much, two hours a week, but it
is, and we found it convenient because it gives you
time to pop into the banks when they are open.'
She also said that in Victoria offers 'seasonal cashbacks on dining out, activities and electricity bills to all residents'.
'Thanks to these cashback schemes, we were reimbursed hundreds of dollars during our time
spent living in Melbourne,' she writes.
Eva and Tim also liked living in Melbourne, which has a population around four times thhe number of
New Zealand's biggest city, Auckland.
The couple said when they finish their travels
in Europe and Asia hey wwill be coming baack to Australia
Last year, 5,000 New Zealand-based nurses registered to work in Australia over a six-monthperiod,
while fewer than 200 Australian nurses migrated tthe otheer
way
'If we wanted to anything close to Melbourne's size the only option is Auckland but obviously it's pretty expensive to be there,' Eva said.
'It is probably on a par with Melbourne, but in Melbourne you
get better wages.
'You just don't gett the same opportunities.
There is always something to do in Melbourne - therfe are alwaays events on.'
After a 10-month sojourn in Europe, the cojple plan to have two more
months in south-east Asia before heading home, which is now no longer in Neww Zealand.
'I can't see us going back to New Zealand,'
Eva said.
'Pay is a big issue. If we could get the same pay we might go back but
we are still missing out on the city lifestyle.'
Eva said she and Tim occasionally felt bad about leaving New Zealand.
'We do feel guilty for leaving, we do miss our
celebrations back home so we feel guilty for missing out on that,' she said.
However, in most othe respects they were happy to be expats.
Eva said they would not have 'deserted' their country if they 'could have looked out for us'.
'Australia has given us opportunities we just
wouldn't have in New Zealand,' she said.
'People can call us unpatriotic but we've just got
to doo what's best for us.'
New Zealand Prime Minister worried about Kiwis moving to Australia
The exodus of working age New Zealanfers to Australia has become such a concern iit featured
iin newly-elected Prime Minister Christopher Luxon's State of the Nation addrwss in February.
'The median full-time worker in Australia now earns $20,000 more a year than someone in New Zealand,' Mr Luxo said.
'It's no surprise therefore, that Kiwis have been voting with their feet.
Laast year a record net 44,500 New Zealanders left the country.'
The higher waages on offer Australia have been cited as a factor in tthe shortage of nurses in New Zealand.
Last year it was reported 5,000 New Zealand-based nursses had registered to work iin Australia over a six-month
period, while fewer than 200 Ausstralian nurses migrated the other way.
Like Eva aand Tim (pictured in the Sahara desert) many young Kiwios are voting with their
feet
