Sydney Named Australia's Best City for Remote Work
Published
Sydney has been ranked as the best city in Australia for remote work, beating Brisbane and Melbourne in a new study. The ranking looked at factors that matter to people who work from home, such as internet quality, access to services and the overall working environment.
Sydney did not score well on everything, however. The city performed poorly on living costs, which remain among the highest in the country. Many workers who choose to live there must pay high rent and property prices, even when they do not need to travel to an office every day.
Brisbane and Melbourne were also rated highly, and both cities offered strengths that helped them rank close behind Sydney. Experts say that more Australians are choosing where to live based on lifestyle and flexible working arrangements, so cities that support remote workers are becoming more attractive.
The results show how work habits are changing across Australia. As more companies allow staff to work from home, the question of where people live is becoming less tied to where their jobs are located.
