I'm a single Kiwi currently living in Wellington NZ.

I have decades of IT experience, and a number of Microsoft premiere certifications.

I was thinking of looking for a job in Australia and buying a home, in one of these regions (due to real estate prices)

- Brisbane
- Adelaide
- Darwin
- Perth

Beyond real estate prices and intense weather, are there are other downsides that Kiwi professional experience in Australia?

I have heard that Kiwis miss out on some government benefits, but again I'm single.
