Que Sera Sera

The issue you have is that there is no where to challenge what you may perceive as unforeseen changes to your contact. You've left one country to work in a whole new one, so your contract has to reflect the rights of the new country. You can complain to your "new" employer but if they don't agree you can't take it to the UK tribunals as you no longer live and work there and you can't take it to Fairwork as the employer is following their advice and giving you you're Australian work rights. Only your Australian work history counts in Employment Law terms here in Australia.

What such as yours?

Medicals are only valid for a year, so I'd imagine your agent is right and knows your case.

I have to disagree with this, in my experience anyway. I work in retail and get asked by customers on a regular basis where my accent is from. When I tell them the response is almost always, oh I've been there, it's a lovely part of the world. No one has ever asked in a way that has made me feel uncomfortable.

Ours was lovely too. We could have waited and had it on Australia Day which would have been a bigger affair but we opted for a smaller more private one. We listened to an Aboriginal Elder and had refreshments afterwards, wine and nibbles. We went for a lovely family meal afterwards feeling very pumped and proud.

Regional areas do need to be re zoned. I live in a so called regional area, where unemployment is much higher than the national average but still people arrive with dubious skill sets.

Well, people were well and truly pi$$ed of with Colin ( Colon) Barnett, and with a deal done with Pauline Hanson it was the nail in the coffin. Loved watching the results coming in and the way Malcolm Turdball has just ignored the result. Mark McGowan seems a thoroughly likeable guy, we will just have to wait and see how it pans out. Glad to see the back of Barnett.

Im sure some do, I'm sure every country has people who don't like other cultures, we are immigrants too, who are hard workers and can be perceived as pinching local jobs. Pauline Hanson is not typical of average Australia so what she says thinks and does is irrelevant. I've never witnessed any issues, however they have been reported in the press so clearly they do happen but are in the absolute minority.

The very fact that this has been reported in the news shows exactly how rare this is, however the snake issue is certainly something to be aware of, plenty of areas to walk dogs with no snakes though. Enjoy your walks in the UK.

All good was going to suggest https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals/tax-file-number/ if not.

Ah do you have any old pay slips?

The whole thread was set up as a counter "argument" to another thread, so has had the required effect for the OP. The U.K. Just like Auatralia is a very nice first world country and the likelihood is anyone emigrating either way will get on just fine with a bit of grit and determination and with the right research.

Have you lived here before? You don't get a TFN unless you live here.

Stay safe everyone sounds like Doris is causing major problems destruction and even death. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/storm-doris-live-updates-one-9904895

Yeah, makes you wonder. A Millionaire in Aus dollars isn't that unusual especially if selling a British property, I'd have thought.
