Question help and advice desperatley needed!!

hiya guys,

This is going to be like war and peace ( but please keep reading!!) My husband and i have decided that we want to to do the BIG MOVE to OZ. We have a 1yr old and a 2month old, i am currently in the Royal Navy Police and my huband is an asbestos consultant, health and saftey risk assessor. I have 2 more years to do in the service beofre ive done my 12 years. Ideally we want to go to Brisbane, but just outside is fine.

We are seriously begining to panic, we just dont have a clue, where to start, how to get the ball rolling and when to start!!

Will my hubby be able to get a job out there? ideally we need to have a job to go to before we make the move.

how do you find accom before you go out?

what is the cost of living like, is it expensive?

if he gets a sponsored visa, will i be able to go out there too? or will we have to wait till he gets automatic residency after 2 years for me and the babies to go out?

All i have ever known is the armed forces, so im not really qualified in anything else, however the navy do pay for me to retrain in something else, so choosing a new career isnt that daunting, i was thinking of child minding? God knows we pay the earth for it over here!!!

Please could someone take the time and try and help us as much as possible.
