These suggestions on how new Australian immigrants adapt to their new life will benefit them for life.

Many Australian immigrants are worried that they will not be able to adapt to local life after landing in Australia. Let me tell you how new immigrants adapt to their new life, hoping to give you some reference and help.

Four stages of adaptation

The first stage: fresh period (about the first month). When I first came to a brand-new environment, I often regarded myself as a tourist consciously or unconsciously. I was busy sightseeing and shopping every day, and everything was so curious and fresh. Even if something is very different, it is not disgusting, but interesting. The new immigrants at this stage are very excited and in a good mood.

The second stage: the lost period (about the second or third month). After the sightseeing period, the novelty passed. See where you should see, eat what you should eat and buy what you should buy; It is better to see the scenery than to listen to it. Once something you've been longing for for for years arrives, that's it. At this stage, the sense of loss of new immigrants began to appear and their mood began to be low.

The third stage: low tide (about the fourth to sixth month). If the cultural differences in the first two stages are not obvious, at this time, all the cultural differences in the new environment of new immigrants are naked, which intensifies the feeling that new immigrants are not used to, not pleasing to the eye and not adapted. New immigrants return to real life from tourists' fantasy: finding a house, finding a job, finding a school for their children and so on. It all comes to mind. Faced with all kinds of difficulties and setbacks, new immigrants increasingly miss their past power, status, relationships, family and friends; Houses, cars, tickets, famous schools and so on, with excellent living conditions and living environment. Faced with contrast, frustration, frustration and chaos, many people even have the idea of going home. This stage is the time when their mood is the lowest and the mood is the worst.

The fourth stage: recovery period (about half a year later). After half a year's transition, the previous violent fluctuations tend to be flat, new immigrants begin to adapt to local cultural differences slowly, and many negative attitudes gradually fade away. Most new immigrants can face the reality and convince themselves that they will be safe when they come. When in Rome, do as the Romans do and enjoy it. At this stage, the mood of immigrants gradually returned to normal.

Suggestion 1: Learn English and overcome language barriers.

Language is an indispensable communication tool in people's daily life. Without language, human society would not be as developed as it is today. Not being able to speak English not only makes you lack the ability to contact Australian society, but also makes you silent and anxious. Therefore, English is a very important issue for every Australian immigrant!

Suggestion 2: Get a job and ensure a full life.

Overseas people who immigrate to Australia through investment will basically have no trouble finding a job. Most of the immigrants sponsored by Australian employers have communicated with their employers in advance in China, so the work problems of new immigrants mainly occur in skilled immigrants. Especially the new immigrants with poor English can't find suitable jobs because of language problems, and they don't want to do inappropriate jobs. At first, they don't feel anything. After a long time, they will feel bored and mentally depressed. Australian and Australian immigrants suggest that new immigrants should try their best to seize every job opportunity regardless of whether the job is suitable or not, and then choose to jump ship to a better workplace when the situation is good.

Suggestion 3: Start over and don't cling to the past.

Most Australian skilled immigrants may have better jobs in their original places of residence, and some may even have some work achievements and honors. However, after living in Australia, it is very likely that the job here is not as good as before at first, and the social status in China is not as good as before. Therefore, some immigrants will start to worry and worry, their temper will become very violent, and conflicts and quarrels will easily occur between husband and wife. In this case, if you always cling to your past, your life in Australia will not progress, and it will be difficult to start over.

Suggestion 4: stick to your own ideas and pay attention to safety when you come.

New immigrants are prone to emotional instability because they don't adapt to the environment and life in all aspects. For example, even if some immigrants get jobs, they frequently quit their jobs because they are far from their own expectations compared with the superior social status and working conditions in China, and even give up the idea of immigration. In this case, we should maintain self-confidence and a good attitude of taking things as they are.

Suggestion 5: integrate into society and take the initiative to go out of the house.

Many new immigrants are afraid to go out because of the language barrier. In the long run, I will increase my psychological pressure, feel depressed and lose confidence in life. In any case, immigrants to Australia () must "go out" to take root and sprout in a new place.

Suggestion 6: Be good at making friends and expand your life circle.

People like socializing, but not many people really like seclusion. One of the reasons why some people feel bored after going abroad is to leave their friends and relatives who have made friends for many years. Immigrating to Australia will make you feel lonely if you are not good at making new friends.

Recommendation 7: Help others and develop personal interests.

If you don't have hobbies, once you encounter troubles, anxiety and depression, you will lack effective means of adjustment, so that your attention can't be diverted. Australian immigrants can choose one or two hobbies according to their own professional, work, physical and other conditions, and carry them on steadily and permanently. For example, in addition to my work, I can also take part in charity work in some communities and societies. Although these jobs are unpaid, they can make my body and mind feel happy and satisfied. Helping others also helps me to integrate into society as soon as possible.

fall ill

Poor Australians can stay in public hospitals for free, and they can recuperate without paying a penny, and they are taken good care of by beautiful nurses. This beauty is based on forcing the rich to pay medical insurance. This Australian has enjoyed the National Health Care Plan (Medicare) for decades, which is exactly what US President Barack Obama wanted to implement during his term of office. However, many obstacles eventually forced the US government to "close the door".

8. Old

Australian men are 65 years old and women over 60 receive pensions. Employers should pay employees 6% of their wages as their pension. Old people who have never worked but have lived in Australia for more than 10 years receive government pensions.

About public relations:

PR among immigrants refers to the permanent residence visa/right in Australia, valid for 5 years, and can apply for naturalization after meeting certain residence requirements. If you get PR, you can enjoy most benefits and enter Australia and New Zealand without a visa. Immigrants holding PR are still China citizens and still hold China passports.

If you apply for naturalization, you will give up your China citizenship and become an Australian citizen. When you return to China in the future, you must apply for a visa at the embassy. What else do you want to know about this, you can click on the consultation.
