Partir s'installer à son compte en Australie?
by Skyline03
This discussion is in French, the community’s main language.
Original post
bonjour, est ce que quelqu'un pourrait me dire si il est difficile de s'installer en australie comme commercant, j'ai 50 ans et je souhaite ouvrir une créperie éventuellement
merci
merci
J'ai la quarantaine et me suis posé la même question. Je te conseille un bouquin : "Ouvrir un commerce à Sydney et à Melbourne (UbiFrance Editions) ". Voila pour la partie pratique : visa, investissement, organisation du business, législation (sociale, bail, autorisation d'ouverture)
J'y ai vécu 3 mois, plutôt en touriste en ayant le regard commerçant. Je n'ai pas sauté le pas, mais cela me hante depuis que je suis rentré (en France).
Tu peu lire aussi The Australian en ligne
Le pour : esprit pionnier (entreprenant, ouvert et positif), pays d'émigration (habitude d'intégrer des "étrangers"), peuple bosseur (plutôt détendu, mais pas forcement efficace) et législation du travail cool (par raport à la France, mais come on est très mauvais), atmosphère de pleine emploi (4, 1% de chômage avant la crise), organisation de la société à l'européenne (Royaume Uni, donc pas trop dépaysant), pays attractif (augmentation de la population, donc opportunités) une attitude simple et directe dans les affaires (ce qui ne veut pas dire franche), on peut choisir son climat (l'Australie, c'est l'Europe en plus grand), ce qui n'est pas le cas au Canada. Pour résumé : un climat des affaire et avec les employés, simple, positif et ouvert,
Le contre : un protectionnisme contre la main d'œuvre non-australienne (plus généralement non-sujet de la couronne de sa majesté la reine d'Angleterre), un foncier qui commence à couter cher (comme en Europe) en ville, des revenus moins importants (des charges aussi, sauf les loyers), une attitude américaine par rapport à la bouffe (pas une préoccupation, mais même les américains ont évolué; beaucoup d'obèses), pas de culture et un faible intérêt pour ce qui se passe à l'étranger, l'éloignement par rapport à l'Europe (j'ai eu le mal du pays et je ne suis pas le seul), la langue (anglais unifié et simple, car beaucoup d'emmigrés de la 1ère ou 2nde génération) Pour résumé : c'est loin et différent et vous êtes un émigrée.
Une anecdote : j'ai rencontré une anglaise (principaux nouveaux émigrés avec les chinois), présente depuis 4 ans et qui voulait rentrer à Londres pour sa famille, ses amis et ...le climat (j'aime la pluie et le brouillard !). Le mal du pays, cela fait délirer grave !
Sinon, le mieux est de prendre un visa touristique de 3 mois et de voir comment on se sent là-bas (ce qui est vrai pour tout pays d'immigration). Je remarque que pour apprécier les paysages d'un pays, il faut être touriste. Les émigrés que j'ai rencontré, quand il se sont installé, ils travaillent à fond et donc, il apprécie moins le pays que quand ils étaient touristes !
Sinon, vous pouvez aussi réflechir à la Nouvelle Zelande (plus belle, plus sympa, mais avec moins d'opportunité et d'argent) ou ... la Nouvelle Calédonie (le "caillou" est à la mode).

merci de votre réponse, est ce que vous avez remarquée dans les villes ou vous avez été une présence française en restauration du type que j'aimerais ouvrir (crêperie) ou autres petite restauration bien "french" ? la nouvelles Zélande est il est vrai très belle mais apparemment d'après vos dire il y a moins "d'argent" vous connaissez ce pays ?
en tout cas merci quand même .😉
en tout cas merci quand même .😉
les australiens se sont bien mis à la mode des crêpes (garnies à la mode anglo-saxonne bien sûr) et les "crêperies" ne sont plus rares
mais la touch french (bretonne) d'une crêperie tenue par un "vrai" français, pourquoi pas ?

Il y a 2 questions dans votre questions.
1. L'Australie, pays d'immigration multi-éthniques (à base britannique) a adopté les produits des immigrés à sa sauce : britannique, italien, grecque, croate, indien, thaïlandais et chinois.. J'avoue avoir très peu apprécié leur nougat, leur salami, leur pizza (même pas américaine) ; par contre leurs fromages (Camenbert, Brie, Bleue, "Triple-Brie" :-)) et en rêgle générale, les produits issus de bovins sont excellents (allez à MacKay, capitale de la viande ...). Pareil pour les produits de la mer (Hobart et ses poissons frais...). Donc on adapte, pas toujours dans le bon, mais les produits de base sont d'excellente qualité. Les produits avec une bonne image sont vendus dans un circuit de distribution spécialisé "de luxe", dit Gourmet ou Meditarannéen (par référence aux produits de qualité Européen, Turquie comprise).
2. Elle s'ouvre à la cuisine autre, avec l'élévation du niveau de vie, l'urbanisation, la rupture de son isolement avec le tourisme de masse + l'immigration + le développement des exportations vers l'Asie au détriment de l'Europe : cela se fait au restaurant, car l'Australien ne sait pas faire la cuisine au sens français (en dehors du BBQ) et jusqu'à récemment n'y accordait aucune importance.
Donc, il y a du potentiel.
Pour la Nouvelle Zélande, ou j'ai été, le pays n'est pas pauvre, mais moins riche que l'Australie. L'ensemble forme un même marché, aussi Auclkand peut être une idée. A vous de "sentir" les choses en allant tâter le terrain . La crêpe bretonne est un succès international et est un produit européen, donc je ne vois que de bonnes ondes.

Si vous y allez, n'oubliez pas de prendre rendez-vous avant avec les Postes d'Expansion Economique (PEE) des Ambassades de France ou les chambres de commerce françaises à l'Etranger (privé) par avance. Ils peuvent éventuellement vous organiser des rendez-vous. Au pire, il pourront faire le lien entre la culture commerciale française et local : lieux commerçants, lien avec un juriste et un expert comptable. Attention tout de même à l'esprit négatif à la française, qui est un gène très résistant. N'hésiter pas à aller voir les chambre de commerce et les banques locales : elles ont l'habitude des étrangers et sont très ouvertes ("open-minded"). Enfin, circulez beaucoup sur le net, voir sur les forums des nationaux. "Peut être" que vous pourrez pré-tester votre idée et trouver des contacts, voir des partenaires !

Si vous êtes francophone pur et dur, regarder aussi les équivalents canadiens, suisse et belges.
Pour finir, n'hesitez pas à me faire un retour, cela me poussera peut être à partir aussi ! (à moins que cela ne sera déjà fait🙂)
J'oubliais : "Down Under" (Australie + Nouvelle Zélande), cela peut paraître facile, mais la compétition est sévère (à l'américaine). J'ai rencontré autant d'immigrés européens qui ne veulent plus en partir que le contraire. Pour les "pays de cocagne", regardez "Capital" sur M6 😎 et soyez "très" crédule.😉

Salut INDIANA,
Toujours sur le Forum??
Si oui j'aurai envie de savoir ce qu'est devenu ton envie d'Australie, mais surtout ton projet de Crêperie, ou en es-tu dans tes recherches... Si tu pouvais me faire profiter de ton expérience.
Je suis aussi candidat au départ, le ras le bol arrive à sa cote d'alerte...
Merci

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!
Cheers,

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

Hi,
I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol
Hi,
Has anyone gone on a language study trip in Europe? If so, which agencies did you use? What can you tell me about it? Thanks a lot! Kelkune
