Hi all, my husband and I plus 3 children are moving to Brisbane in 1 week, we are very excited about the move. I just have a few questions about schooling and me working as a nurse.
Could somebody explain the schooling system. ie ages for what and cut of dates. My daughter is 5 and turn 6 in October. She has completed her first year of school in N Ireland so am pretty about about not having to rush with getting her into school straight away, but am unsure as to what she will start with when we arrive, is it kindergarten or school. I also have a 3 year old and 2 year old

Also we are on a my husbands sponsorship 457 visa, I am a nurse but moving on my husbands visa I have had a medical for the visa as I stated I did intend to work as a nusre. Could somebody advice on what I need to do once we land as I know I will need to register over there but dont know a huge ammount as only really just made my mind up that I would def wanted to continue to nurse.
Look forward to hearing from you,x

We are so excited about he move and cant wait to arrive,xx

Hi there. Your daughter will be going into the end of Prep year (similar to reception) and then into Year 1 in January.

Good luck with your move. We love Brisbane!
