From Facebook communities to essential resources and services you need in Australia. Pop over to my blog here or learn more about me below.

What is this Irish Around Oz all about?

You probably heard about the myth, the legend that is Irish Around Oz? Nah? Well, I am glad you decided to stop by. You see, just like you, I moved to Australia with little to no idea what to expect! Part of me was hoping it would be like a home-and-away set, but when I rocked up in Perth in 2013, I quickly realized how far from the truth it was.

After leaving Cork in Ireland on a working holiday visa, I quickly realized that there were no resources for Irish people moving to Australia!

So, I set up this very blog you are reading! A few years later, it has helped not only Irish people move but hundreds of thousands of others just like you who were making a move to Australia. In fact, the blog has had over 20 million visits since I started. Woah😲

So, if you are making a move to Australia, then join my exclusive and completely free email list below. I will send you a couple of emails with all the resources and tools you need to make a move! And no spam ever!!

Essential services you will need in Australia😏🌞

Over the years, I have used and recommended several products, services and companies in Australia…

Some were great; some were not, but what I do have is a particular set of skills… skills I have acquired over a very long career…

Woah, sorry, I went off track there, but what I do have is exclusive Irish Around Oz discounts and savings for you on these services.

They also have been used by thousands of other readers just like you.
