Hi leoniholmes

Moving to Austria is not that hard from the UK as it is part of the EU. I moved over 6 years ago on a one way ticket.

If you are planning to stay for a while there are some things that you need to do on your arrival.

ALL BRITISH CITIZENS WHO ARE NEWCOMERS TO AUSTRIA

Citizens of the European Union and Switzerland have the right to take residence
in Austria, if they

• work as employed or self-employed persons
• or have a sufficient health-insurance and sufficient financial means
• or are students or pupils at a university or school (and have a sufficient
health insurance and sufficient means).

Before January 1, 2006 they only had to register (with the Meldezettel).
Citizens of the EU and Switzerland who come to Austria after January 1,
2006 and intend to stay longer than three months, have to apply at the
Municipal Department for Immigration, Citizenship and Registry Offices
(MD 35) for a document called "Anmeldebescheinigung". This is a
documentation for their right of residence. If they came before January 1,
2006 and registered, they do not need this paper.
For their spouses, civil partners, children, parents and parents in law, who are
not EU-citizens or Swiss, they have to apply for a document called
"Aufenthaltskarte", which is issued for 10 years.

You have to go to your local Town Hall to register.

As for Health Insurance, you will need to get a European Health Insurance Card,

Go to this site and you can get one for free. https://www.gov.uk/european-health-insurance-card

Should you need any other help, feel free to drop me a line.
