What is the Move to More campaign?
Move to More is the Regional Australia Institute’s national campaign to raise awareness among metropolitan residents about the great opportunities to live, work and invest in our regional towns and cities.
Supported by the federal government, this landmark, multi-million-dollar campaign, was launched in March 2021 by RAI CEO Liz Ritchie and the then Deputy Prime Minister, the Hon. Michael McCormack and will run throughout 2022 and beyond.
Move to More features television, radio, billboard and digital advertisements and the move to more website which is a one-stop-shop for metro-movers looking to build their best life in one of more than seven-hundred towns and cities across regional Australia.
Why is the campaign necessary?
By prioritising and encouraging population growth in our regions, Australia can avoid becoming a nation of congested, unaffordable, mega cities.
There are also tens of thousands of jobs in regional Australia which employers are keen to fill!
The RAI’s 2019 report, highlighted the advantages of a more evenly distributed population, and our campaign research in December 2021 showed that the desire to move is there.
It found that one in five people living in our major capital cities was considering a move to regional Australia, motivated by the desire for space, well-being and a more affordable life.
