Why did Hong Kong post-80s female nurses give up 50,000 monthly salary to immigrate to South Australia?

Sophia, a female nurse born in 1980s in Hong Kong, gave up her monthly salary of HK$ 50,000 and resolutely immigrated to Adelaide, South Australia. Previously, Sophia and her boyfriend went to Adelaide because a friend invited them to travel there. However, this trip made her linger here. She felt that this was the life she longed for, so she considered immigrating to South Australia and began to apply on 20 16. Nearly two years later, she officially immigrated to Adelaide, Australia. In addition, her cousin also settled in the local area, and there were not many people applying for immigration in this place. Sophia quickly applied for success. Before that, she was already a registered nurse in Hong Kong with a monthly salary of 50,000, but she did not hesitate at all and soon went to Adelaide.

When she first arrived in Adelaide, she had to apply for skilled immigrants while looking for a job. Fortunately, her nurse's card is recognized locally and does not need to be re-examined. In addition, she has rich work experience and a master's degree, and there is a lack of local medical staff. Sophia found a job soon, but her monthly salary is about HK$ 20,000, which is much worse than before. But Sophia has no regrets. First of all, the holidays here are very different from those in China. She can choose 8 or 12 hours shift every day, so she only needs 1 1 day to go to work every month, and the rest of the time is a holiday. During the holidays, she will travel around, which is very comfortable compared with the busy city life.

The working environment in Australia is also very good. Everyone receives free medical care, and those who see a doctor do not go to the hospital for minor illness. Moreover, Sophia was pregnant last year, and the maternity leave time was sufficient, which made her feel very comfortable during childbirth. The hospital where she stayed was well-equipped, and the ward was comfortable and exquisite, so that the expectant mother received meticulous care during the delivery. After delivery, a nurse will come to the house for regular inspection to ensure the health and safety of the child.

The cost of living in Adelaide is not high, and the house price is relatively affordable. The two-story building with garden and parking space is where Sophia lives now. If the domestic down payment is not enough, such a relaxed and comfortable life is very satisfying for Sophia. Giving up the extremely busy city life and going to the ideal place of life, Sophia undoubtedly realized her inner expectation, and such a life will also bring her happiness.
