How two young Australians found home – and career opportunities
It's one of the world's most thrilling cities – home to legendary eats, neon jungles, 24-hour action and one iconic skyline. But Hong Kong isn't just a destination for adventure, it's also a great base for opportunities. The city is the gateway to Southeast Asia's stock markets – a global and financial hub in close proximity to Australia. That makes it a great base for young Aussies looking to build international experience, without being too far from home. Initiatives like the Top Talent Pass Scheme (TTPS) are making it even easier for international talent to move to Hong Kong. Several top Australian universities are on the eligibility list for the scheme, providing a streamlined pathway for young people to enter Hong Kong's job market – and enjoy low tax rates and high career prospects. 'Hong Kong stood out because of its solid finance and commerce foundations.' Australian expat Jordan Huber, who moved to Hong Kong in late 2024. Hong Kong is not just a career growth destination, but also a place one can make their home with a high standard of living. Many who make the move also use the opportunity as a chance to grow, explore, and connect in one of the world's most dynamic cities, home to a unique blend of east-meets-west culture. Here, two Australians who've made the move to Hong Kong share their experience. Feeling at home in a not-so-foreign land – Jordan's story Jordan moved to Hong Kong in early 2024 and now works as a Senior Manager at a commercial real estate agency. He wanted opportunities to work on regional projects across North Asia and APAC – and Hong Kong just seemed like the best place to be. 'I considered Singapore and Japan, but Hong Kong stood out because of its solid finance and commerce foundations,' he says. Its proximity to travel destinations across Greater China and North Asia added to the appeal. And he knew the city's reputation as a global super-connector could spell big career opportunities.
