Are people still calling Australia Home?

Recent figures are indicating that almost 1 million Australians are living overseas. Over the past 10 years there has been a 146 percent increase in the number of people leaving Australia often to live in a country for which they have no connection. It appears that some are seeking better career opportunities, some are looking for adventure and a new lifestyle while others are returning to a country where they have family.
