A steady flow of working age people are moving from the capital cities to regional Australia. This migration is a real win-win for everyone involved. Regions can offer people a lifestyle and quality of life that is beyond the reach of most in the city. In turn, the communities that people return to, and become a part of, benefit from new skills and resources that can be vital to their future. Although it is difficult to precisely identify who is making the move, a large portion are likely to be Regional Returners - people who left the regions as young adults but choose to come back later in life. As well as evidence to support this trend, this Talking Point provides some insights from people who have chosen to move back to the regions. While it is clear many people have already decided to return to regional Australia, the Regional Australia Institute suggests there are likely to be many more thinking about it. For those out there who are still pondering a return, why not take the advice from someone who has made the move: Dont stop and think, just do it. The overall quality of life, affordability, environment and lifestyle really make it a nobrainer. Kerry Grace, Regional Returner
