Not moving out. In Germany there’s still a bit of a stigma around living with your parents past your mid-20s but when I see what’s currently going on with, you know, the housing market I’m glad I made that decision. I might have been a bit too lazy as well…
Plus I was able to save a bunch of money because of that, which is gonna come in handy for my move to Australia in September.
I’ve accepted that my daughter probably won’t be able to get her own place once she’s done school. I’m OK with it, would rather she have that option than be potentially pressured into a toxic relationship to afford to live.
I didn’t get approved for anything yet but getting a 417 visa shouldn’t be that hard AFAIK and from there you just have to get lucky and be sponsored for a 482 visa by an employer, after that you can get permanent residency on the 186 visa, after 2 years with the same employer. Aaand from there it’s just another year until you can apply for citizenship.

I wonder how your parents feel about that

How’d you get approved for that? I thought Australia was very locked down for immigration
30% of the population of Australia was born outside Australia.
Immigration is straightforward (although maybe expensive) if you can get one of the skilled migration visas.

Pretty straightforward…
