Moving To Australia

Moving to Australia

Covering a total area of 7.69 million square kilometres, mainland Australia is the world’s largest island - but smallest continent.

In distance, the continent stretches about 3700 kilometres from north to south and 4000 kilometres from east to west, making it the sixth-largest nation after Russia, Canada, China, the United States and Brazil.

Australia is also the only continent that is governed as a single country. It is sometimes informally referred to as an 'island' continent, surrounded by oceans.

Our ocean territory is also the third-largest in the world, spanning three oceans and covering around 12 million square kilometres. We also have one of the most urbanised and coast-dwelling populations in the world, with more than 80 per cent of residents living within 100 kilometres of the coastline.  Australia currently has a population of almost 23 million people.

Moving to Australia or any international destination requires careful planning and organization. Knowing what to Bring and when to move, at Trans International we have an extensive knowledge base to step your through the Australian Customs requirements and guide you through one of the toughest Quarantine processes in the world.
