VERYSTORMY Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Hi and welcome to the forum. I have moved your post to where it will get a better response. WA is having an economic slowdown at the moment. A good tool for looking at jobs is seek.com.au Have you got a visa yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VERYSTORMY Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 Concentrate on the visas first - it is a long process and until you have that in the bag, everything else is academic. But, with locations, you will need to do lots of reading. The east coast is massive - a bit like asking where is good in Europe with thousands of areas that are nice for families and encompasses everything from snow capped mountains to rainforest jungle. You need to think about what sort of environment you want. For example, do you want the big city life such as Sydney or Melbourne. Pluses would be lots going on, lots of nightlife and things, but VERY high housing costs. Do you want a cool climate or a tropical climate? Do you want beach or country town somewhere inland. The first thing to guide you should be jobs. The main job site is seek.com.au The visa process will take 6 - 9 months minimum. Then, if you have a house to sell, you need to go through that. Then arrange the move itself such as shippers and thing. So, one step at a time and that first one is visas. Your occupation is on the SOL list, which is the first hurdle. But, next you need to check that you can pass the skills assessment - this is proving you have the required mix of skills, qualifications and experience. Then you need to calculate your points. At this stage many people find they are short of the required 60. If so, you need to start looking at the English exams to boost points. Then you need to check all the family can pass the other criteria such as medicals. I would get all of this done before you think about areas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
