Find a Mover

Sydney is losing people — and the numbers are bigger than most people realise.
154,589 Australians left Sydney for the rest of the country over the past four years. That's more than the entire population of Geelong, choosing somewhere else.
So where are they going? And why?
We dug into four years of ABS data plus our own platform data from tens of thousands of real moves — and the answers might surprise you.
The biggest destination isn't the Gold Coast or Brisbane. It's actually right next door — regional NSW. The Central Coast, Wollongong, and Newcastle are absorbing the overflow.
And when Sydneysiders do leave? Nearly 4 in 10 are swapping an apartment for a house. The city isn't pushing people out because they want to go. It's pushing them out because they can't afford to stay in the home they actually want.

🚚 Geelong has been Victoria's fastest-growing city four years in a row — and the data shows no sign of slowing down.
We combined ABS migration data with real moving jobs from our platform to find out who's actually making the move, where they're coming from, and why.
A few things that surprised us:
👉 54% of all arrivals came from Melbourne.
👉 Our research shows people moving to Geelong typically save around $91,000 on a like-for-like property.
👉 Nearly 1 in 10 inbound moves lands directly on the Bellarine Peninsula — people aren't just moving to Geelong, they're moving for the coast.
Full breakdown in the article 👇

Geelong gained another 3662 residents in 2025, totalling 13,497 net residents over four years. We break down the new data just released from the ABS and combine with data from findamover.com.au to investigate who's moving there, where from, and why.
