Your new life in Australia starts here!
Create your new life in Australia & enjoy this incredible adventure! Check out the ways I can help you.
Welcome! You’ve come to the leading expat hub for families who are embracing the adventure of moving across the world to create a new life in Australia! It’s great to have you here.
I’m Karen Bleakley, Founder + Editor of SmartStepstoAustralia and creator of the Move to Australia Toolkit.
Through online articles, Facebook communities, a soon-to-be-released podcast and a range of digital products, I simplify the relocation process, introduce trustworthy professionals to help with all aspects of your resettlement and provide information, support and inspiration to help you thrive in your new home.
This website is filled with useful resources, and you can find more in-depth support products on my Move to Australia Toolkit site.
Moving from the UK to Australia with my husband and kids transformed our lives in so many incredible ways and it gave us freedom.
This site is for the dreamers…for the ones who know there’s more to life...for those who understand that life is short and the world is vast…for those who don’t make excuses…for those relocating across the world even though it feels terrifying…for those willing to go all-in on this journey and push beyond your comfort zone.
You’re destined for amazing things! Moving to Australia is just the start of the adventure. Once you’ve done that, you realise anything’s possible! I’m so pleased you’re here and I can’t wait to support you through all of it.
