ABOUT THE CREATOR
Hi! I’m Martina, the founder of Living Simply Australia – a platform dedicated to the Australian migration experience.
I migrated to Australia eight years ago, upon receiving a scholarship to complete my Bachelor degree in Psychological Science (HR Management, Organisational Psychology) at Deakin University. I also hold a Master Degree from the University of Melbourne.
I have more than six years of experience working in the Australian migration, skills assessments, and human resources sectors (from recruitment to organisational development and change management), as well as in job-ready capacity-building programs with not-for-profits.
This is why most of the LSA content focuses on working in Australia and finding a professional job here. I want to share with you all the tools, tips and strategies I know to help you make your migration experience as easy as possible.
I’m passionate about using my professional background, lived experience, and skills in content creation to enact positive social change.
The hope is that Living Simply Australia fills the existing gap in migration settlement services to help newly arrived migrants successfully settle in the country.
YOUTUBE CHANNEL
Living Simply Australia was officially launched in December 2021, and since then the community has grown way faster than imagined.
The channel was born in response to the pervasive gaps in settlement, employment, and language services available for newly arrived temporary migrants in Australia. Migrants face challenges related to culture shock, lack of social networks, language barriers, social isolation, as well as working in low skill level jobs (or for free) because of lack of knowledge about the Australian job search process, and lack of local work experience and references.
Living Simply Australia gives migrants the right information and tools to get started with their move to Australia: both for working and studying here, as well as for navigating the migration experience as best as possible.
The rapid growth of the channel is reflected on the fact that our content is high quality and touches on everything migrants need to know about settling in Australia, including how to adjust to the Australian culture and workplace, how to rent a house, how to apply for a job, how to choose a university course, cost of living, and more.
