Hi Mart
If you are thinking of moving to Adelaide and you have lots of questions then this web-site may also be of help to you:

There are lots of Commonwealth banks in SA, however we did not stay with them when we came over here as their bank charges were unacceptable. We have been living in Adelaide for 16 months now and love it here.
Good luck
Alli

Sorry part 2
You do need to register over here with the TRB before you can teach in SA. If you want to try and get a job before you come over then you may have to be prepared to move to the country. Are you primary or secondary? Plus you may need to have a look at your CV. We found that our English CV was different to the Aussie resume.

Your welcome Mart and family
I hope that things work out for you all. Hope that your house sale goes through alright. I am a big believer in, what will be will be and there ain't a damn thing you can do about it, except go with the flow and take each day as it comes. But hold on tight because sometimes it is one hell of a ride. But then you being an avid kite surfer will know all about that. Good Luck.

With accomodation, have you tried for On Arrival Accomodation (OAA)? It can be quite hard to get apparently, though we had no problem and were allocated a very basic, but clean and cheap, house. OAA is definately the way to go if you can get it.
.I'm guessing you have Muppet Babies, and I think families are given priority.
I understand that renting may be easier if you can bring letters of recommendation from any financial institutions / mortgage company etc. Rentals are at a premium here, where demand can outstrip supply. If you were to get OAA, you'd have thirteen weeks (maximum let) in which to buy a home..unless you decide to have one built, of course.
It is possible to buy without first gaining employment if you are putting a larger than average deposit down. Best of all, you'd be entitled to the $7k home grant!
Re. the Commonweath Bank, we've stayed with them. Everything / one charges for everything here, but we pay $4 each month for unlimited transactions. The bank apparently also offers a credit card to new arrivals, which whether you use it or not, can make everything else easier.
