:o Hello everyone. I've been busy reading all the forums and thought I would say hi and see if there is anyone who has joined the Australian Navy from the UK. My hubby is currently in the Royal Navy but finishes his time at Christmas (Yipeeeee). We would very much love to move to oz with our 2 boys aged 11 and 15 and hubby has been looking at the idea of joining the oz navy. I'm not too keen but would go along with it if it got us out there. Would love to hear from anyone about life married to someone in the oz navy.

Take care Nicky :lol:

Oh dear nobody can help me everybody seems so eager to help, never mind we will still be trying to make our way over as soon as hubby comes out of navy. We are looking at going through an agent so any feedback on which ones are best would be very helpful.

Thanks all :lol:

Hi Littlenick

I will talk to you but have no idea about joining the OZ Navy but im sure if you talked to a good agent they will point you in the right direction. I used the Visa Bureau very helpful with no commitment you can get lots of info at www.visabureau.co.uk

Im sure if other members could help with joining the OZ Navy they would have post something by now.

Hi Ioz and Mickroo :o

Thanks for your replies. Thought it was a long shot about anyone joining the Oz Navy but you never know maybe someone may have had some ideas.

I will definately go on the Visa bureau website and have a look around, thanks Mickroo.

I will be a regular visitor to this site so any queries and I will let you all know. Thanks once again.

Take care

Hi,

I found this site tonight and thought I would drop a line to say that my husband is also in the RN and in the process of applying to join the oz navy. He has had the medical, we all had a telephone interview and are now waiting for the offer letter. Still not completely sure if we will accept the offer, scary and exciting stuff !!
If you want any further details about who to contact etc, send reply and I will sort some details out for you

Good luck with it all

Hi,

I don't know anything about the Oz navy but hello anyway.

We are going through 4 corners agency. they are expensive but on the whole I would recommend them. It does take some of the pressure off, knowing that someone is working for you (even if you do have to pay them).

Hi all

Blondie nice to hear from you. You'll be sick of me with all my questions. My hubby is due out Feb 07 we emailed the Oz navy and they requested all his docs which they received on 17 April. We haven't heard anything from them (is this good news or bad!!). That's interesting to hear about the telephone interview. Could I ask was your hubby does in RN (nosey bugger!). If we do get an offer we're still not sure whether to go this route or try on our skills. I don't fancy the months apart like now. It great to find someone in the same situation.

Take care and keep in touch. A big welcome if your new to this site

:D

I think I spoke to your husband Robbie on Friday? I have just accepted a job offer from the RAN, never been to Oz, taking wife and 2 girls 11 & 15, stationed in Sydney to start with. I would be interested to hear from anyone you've spoken to about what living in Sydney is really like. We are looking to rent in Pennant Hills on the North Shore.
