Sydney? 17th. Melbourne? Nowhere to be seen. Canberra, Cairns, or anywhere else between Burnie and Broome? Forget it.
Those are the key findings from a new report on the world’s best destinations for remote work, which put only one Australian city in the top 100 worldwide.
In its 2024 list, HR management platform Remote states Sydney is the Australian city best-suited to the work-from-home lifestyle and remote employment.
Remote said its list is based on metrics like internet access, specific working incentives, safety, inflation, and overall quality of life.
While the harbour city earned plaudits for its perceived lifestyle and cultural clout, it fell seven places from its 2023 ranking, putting it behind cities like Bangkok (#16), Reykjavik (#10), and #1 city Madrid.
